Volkswagen delivers 1.5 millionth all-electric ID. model

WOLFSBURG: Volkswagen has hit a significant milestone in its transformation to electromobility, with the recent delivery of the 1.5 millionth all-electric ID model to a customer at the plant in Emden, Germany.

The anniversary vehicle is a black ID.7 Tourer Pro, which raises the bar in its class with a range of up to 606km.

Volkswagen now tops the registration statistics in the electric segment not only in Germany but also in Europe.

The plant in East Frisia is a prime example of Volkswagen’s transformation.

In recent years, the group has invested over one billion euros (RM4.92bil) in converting it into an exclusively electric vehicle manufacturing facility.

Aside from Zwickau and Gläserne Manufaktur Dresden, Emden is the only Volkswagen plant worldwide dedicated solely to electric vehicles.

Further ID. models are rolling off the production lines in Hanover and Chattanooga (USA), as well as in Foshan, Changsha and Anting (all China).

The ID. family has grown steadily since its launch in 2020, with the compact model ID.3 – Volkswagen’s first vehicle developed exclusively as an electric car – being followed a year later by the SUV ID.4 (2021) and its coupé version ID.5 plus the electric bus ID. Buzz.

The most recent additions to the ID. family are the ID.7 and the ID.7 Tourer, which came out in 2024.

The ID.7 Tourer was the electric vehicle with the highest number of registrations in Germany in the first half of 2025.

Volkswagen is pressing ahead with its electric mobility campaign by launching new ID. models: the production version of the compact ID. 2all costing under 25,000 euros (RM122,900) will be launched in 2026, to be followed one year later by the production version of the ID. EVERY1, an entry-level model costing around 20,000 euros (RM98,320).
