VW VW I.D.

The Volkswagen Group plans to launch 25 electric models by 2025. However, the first new vehicle generation will only come onto the market in three years. We have with the prototype of the VW I.D. Turned a first round.
Some concept studies are simply more important than others. Some are just there to cause a stir at a trade fair; Others should show where the journey will go in the next few years and others want to hide the temporary shortcomings of the car manufacturer. The bright white VW I.D. is a mixture of all of this. He introduced less the first production vehicle on the Parisian car valley in autumn last year, but rather the platform, which in the future is to become the electrical panacea of Wolfsburg. The VW I.D. is the first of its kind a visionary placeholder, as should continue with the Volkswagen Group from 2020.
VW I.D. should be close to the series
In 2020, Volkswagen plans to introduce its modular electrical kit (MEB) to place ten models on the narrow bikes with it from 2025, which then sell one million electric cars a year. “There will be five different buildings; including an SUV, ”explains Christina Leuderalbert from the Volkswagen development team,“ The I.D. is particularly close to the series vehicle that comes in 2020. The roof line becomes slightly higher and details such as the reversing cameras or the missing B-pillar will not make it into the production. But the cool interior design will remain."
VW At the wheel of the VW I.D.
The space for the first meters with the electric hope carrier could hardly have been chosen better. Here, on the Delta of the Rio Tejo in Lisbon, the Portuguese conquerors started exploring the new worlds over 500 years ago. The Volkswagen restart is not much less about tomorrow’s mobility.

You sit in VW I first.D., he offers a different picture than at the exhibition stand. It is by no means as small as initially thought. With a length of 4.10 meters, it is at least 15.5 centimeters shorter than a current Golf and therefore a number too small for the compact class. The impressive width of 1.80 meters and the lavish height of 1.53 meters may hardly fit. And at 2.75 meters, the wheelbase is more at a Passat level. Small is somehow different.
VW The VW I.D. is 4.10 meters long
The space is lavishly dimensioned in all seats and larger objects can be transported not only in the up to 960 liters of loading space, but also in the rear. As you have known from Honda Jazz for years and day, the seats can be folded up.
"The coolness will stay"
The varnish in "Frosted White", the communicative LED eyes, missing exterior mirrors or the lush glass surfaces-this is how you somehow imagine a future car. The large panoramic roof, which can be darkened at the push of a button, is not rocket science. It has been all in series for years. The situation is different with the operating modules, because the interior of the VW I.D. largely comes from without haptic switches. Instead, comfort and security functions are operated via touch-sensitive surfaces. The white test is driven by a 125 kW / 170 hp electric motor, which is installed directly on the rear axle. The engine gets its power right next door from the battery pack, which was installed flat between the two axes in the vehicle floor. No wonder that the weight distribution is 48:52 percent close to the ideal case.
Everything about electromobility
On our e-mobility portal site you will find all e-vehicles & hybrids available on the German market with technical data, prices, delivery times and model comparisons. There are ongoing insider news, tests of all important vehicles, an overview of charging stations and a range computer.
You can also arrange a test drive for your desired car for free and start e-mobility easily.
Even before the I.D. The first meter rolls after the driving mode is selected on the small steering wheel, it turns out that the touch displays in the doors, the capacitive keypads, as well as gesture control and voice control are already working despite the three -year distance to the standard use.
VW Head-up display in the electrical VW I.D.
The gigantic head-up display, meanwhile, shows the right path to the Champs-Elysee a few meters before the prototype. Apparently programming loads from the Parisian caralon, because today only a few meters should be driven on the banks of the Teja. Caution is appropriate when it comes to taxation, because if you happen to be touching the VW logo in the steering wheel for a few seconds, the white electric vehicle brings to autonomous driving mode by disappearing the steering wheel in the dashboard. Don’t panic: However, this should only work late from 2025. So hands and steer yourself.
How fast he really is remains open
But the test drive itself is shorter than expected. The VW I.D. rolls, buzzes, drives and works, but the performance itself is a mere question of faith. Because 0 to 100 km/h in less than eight seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h can only be believed – you can extend it just as little as The maximum range that is said to be between 400 and 600 kilometers. Of course, the VW developers fully promise an 80 percent battery charge in just half an hour. By the way, without a cable, but inductive (contactless) on a special charging station. Wait, more than three years are still time. This also applies to the price. “Our goal is an electric car that everyone can afford. Reference model is a well -equipped Golf Diesel, around 25.000 euros ”, you can hear from those responsible for the product. So you can be excited – either way. But the VW I comes late.D. always.

Fuel cell!
Why is the fuel cell not forced in the car? In one of the last car magazines … I could read from a new model with over 800km range! Fuel would be unlimited, with renewable energy is generated by water and oxygen by electrolysis made of water! And this can happen at the times where z.B. Solar power is most produced, namely during the day, while elekroautos are usually charged when solar power is not available, at night on the domestic socket! There are already hydrogen filling stations, just too few! Nothing would change in the modes of a fuel cell car compared to the combustion engine, you drive to the Tamkstelle and you’re done! Environmentally friendly, only water vapor comes out in the back!
So much remains open
The battery charging time would also be interesting -if you find a charging station on the go-. But this important charging time information is wisely concealed here. That is the big VW surprise.
Another VW set- ???
Maximum range, -solo – are between 400 and 600 kilometers? Well, 200km or not, it doesn’t matter at VW. Because with these "VW -Soll- information" (Diesel) We have all been served in the best time recently, …ah… lied.
Munich to Hamburg
All well and good. But for me the question still remains. How do I get with an electric car without much loss from Munich to Hamburg. ?
Munich to Hamburg?
Best with the plane, like most people in Germany. Who drives 1000km today within DE in one piece?
Yes / Yes
When I hear from induction charging, this can be built on some sections of motorways in the future. That you have a 20km induction route and while driving on these routes km "fuel". If money is of course cost and automatically debited, so you can also create more routes with a car and do not need an old charging station. Before this is affordable and is tested for a long time… Until then I drive diesel! And until then, many are retired who are still making money together in the combustion engines. You can’t revolutionize everything so quickly overnight. So don’t panic. There are more important problems in this country and Europe. And goodbye
Of the
But really sees as an e vehicle well from hopefully it will be so hope for Volkswagen the price when he comes up is okay !!
Unfortunately
It is always the case that the box then costs 30000 and there is almost nothing, the reach is even a laboratory value. And where should I load? There is usually nothing in shared apartments, if only because of the necessary house connection. So 50m extension cable from the window?
Yes, of course, I need
An SUV e-electrical vehicle may still be with all-wheel drive for the terrain, because there are so many charging stations in the pampas. Hopefully the whole thing will not be a billion dollar grave of senseless investments at the expense of employees.
ACCACACTICATION: 90 WHAT?
I take 90 kWh and not kilojoules or kilocalories or amper hours? With that the VW I plays.D. In the Liga Tesla Model S 90D. He also has a battery with 90 kWh. It costs z.ZT. 102.However, it has € 900 for this, but also 422 hp with a similar range and an acceleration from 0 to 100 in 4.4 seconds. I could easily do without the latter.
Whooow,
25.000 euros for such a plastic bread box, that’s violent. So the turn to electromobility at VW does not work. I prefer to wait for alternatives from Skoda or from the Far East.
