By CARSIFU | 14 July 2020


WOLFSBURG: Volkswagen says the electric ID.3 can be ordered through dealerships across Europe starting July 20.

The announcement came four weeks after the start of ordering for the limited ID.3 1ST for pre-bookers.

Customers will be able to choose from seven pre-configured ID.3 models at dealerships and to order the appropriate charging equipment at the same time. Buyers will benefit from attractive concessions for charging via WeCharge for up to three years.

All seven ID.3 models will be eligible for the maximum state subsidy of €9,480 (around RM46,000) granted as an environmental bonus in Germany. Subsidies will also be available for the ID.3 in many other European countries.

“I am convinced that e-mobility will now make its breakthrough,” says Stackmann. Our model names like Family, Style, Tech and Tour already reveal that we will have the right ID.3 for everyone – at an attractive price. This way, we are realising our vision of enabling emission free mobility for all," said said Jürgen Stackmann, Volkswagen Brand Board Member for Sales.


Life - Style – Business – Family – Tech – Max

These are six out of seven models which customers can order starting on July 20, available for delivery from October. They are based on the basic model ID.3 Pro Performance with a 58-kWh battery (net battery energy content) for a range of up to 420km (WLTP) with the 150 kW Performance rear-wheel-drive system.
