Volkswagen unveils new electric car for 150,000 kroner

The director of Volkswagen, Thomas Schäfer, believes that it will be like entering the Champions League with an electric car for 150,000 Danish kroner.

Volkswagen has revealed the brand's upcoming ID.1. Or at least a little bit of it.

A new electric car with an expected price starting at 150,000 kroner. Volkswagen's CEO, Thomas Schäfer, recently presented the car to the brand's employees in Wolfsburg.

The ID.1, as it is called, is part of Volkswagen's plan to offer more affordable electric cars. The car is expected to be available in 2027. Volkswagen's move comes at a time when many of the company's employees are concerned about their future employment.

According to Schäfer, the ID.1 is a response to employees' desire for a more affordable car. The price of the new electric car starts at 20,000 euros.

“An affordable, high-quality and profitable electric Volkswagen from Europe to Europe: This is the Champions League of the automotive industry!” said Thomas Schäfer in connection with the presentation of the car.

The VW Group writes this in a press release .

With the ID.1, Volkswagen wants to make electric driving more accessible to a wider audience. The new model is a step towards creating a "people's car" for the electric era.

Volkswagen is focusing on developing and producing electric cars in Europe. This initiative is intended to secure jobs and strengthen Volkswagen's position in the European market.

Thomas Schäfer acknowledged the employees' concerns and stressed the importance of the transition to electric mobility, while assuring employees that Wolfsburg will continue to be a central location for Volkswagen.

Daniela Cavallo, Chairwoman of the Volkswagen AG Works Council, also expressed her satisfaction with the new model. She emphasized that it is a Volkswagen – the people's car – in the truest sense of the word.

Schäfer also spoke about the future of the Wolfsburg plant, explaining that moving Golf production to Mexico will free up space for new technologies.

In addition, Volkswagen will introduce new production methods in Wolfsburg. The factory will be transformed into a center for the production of electric cars, including the electric successor to the Golf and an electric version of the T-Roc.

The ID.1 model is Volkswagen's ambition to lead the way in the development of electric vehicles. The car is the result of extensive research and development to meet the market's need for affordable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions.

Even in the electric age, the Wolfsburg plant remains the heart of the Volkswagen brand, Thomas Schäfer emphasized in a statement. Volkswagen is investing heavily in its future and has high expectations for the ID.1 model, which is expected to have a major impact on the group's future growth.

Volkswagen has high expectations for the ID.1 model and considers it a key component of its forward-looking strategy. The ID.1 is expected to be an important contribution to Volkswagen's goal of becoming a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles.

Volkswagen's efforts to develop competitive and innovative electric cars underline their commitment to a greener future for the automotive industry and for their customers.
