WOLFSBURG: The basic version of the fully-electric C-segment Volkswagen ID.3 passenger car will be less expensive in Germany in terms of acquisition and operation than comparable internal combustion models.
The basic version with a range of 330km costs less than 23,430 euros in Germany, following deduction of the environmental bonus.
It is therefore at least as inexpensive as comparable models such as the Golf Life.
In addition, ID.3 drivers in Germany save about 840 euros per year on operating expenses.
Among other items, there is no road vehicle tax, no oil changes are required and the ID.3 is assigned to a less expensive insurance class (class 17).
Energy costs are also lower.
“With the ID.3, the electric car will finally become affordable. This model is entirely fit for everyday use and even costs less than an internal combustion model thanks to the environmental bonus,” says Thomas Ulbrich, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen brand responsible for E-Mobility.
”The ID.3 will be introduced to the market in the summer, as announced.”
Silke Bagschick, Head of Sales and Marketing, e-mobility Product Line, says: “The price is no longer an argument against but rather an argument for the electric car. Leasing offers make the changeover easy and reduce uncertainty. In future, the electric car will also be attractively priced even without subsidies.”
