Sadly, though, that VW has not much to offer in that area...
VW is the largest producer and seller of EVs on the European market, and the larger group even more so (as that includes Skoda, Cupra etc). The one segment not served well until now was the compact car segment but they are currently launching the ID.Polo which is a great offer for that segment as well.
I am not sure how anyone could say that they don't have much on offer.
Well, I am more into the segment where they offer the ID Buzz. But that is a horrible car, and ugly as sin.
So you don't like the ID Buzz offer, fair. It doesn't make the position that VW has nothing on offer as largest seller of EVs in Europe any less absurd.
Id3 is actually nice to drive though, the range is reasonable and the features it has are polished. It's also funny being able to keep pace with the people who think noisy car means power.
That might be, but it is way to small for my use case. The ID Buzz would fit, but it is horrible and ugly.
