Volkswagen is getting back to its roots as the people’s car company with a cheap and compact US$26,400 mass market ID.2ALL electric vehicle. With the price of a Polo but the size of a Golf, the hot hatch will be able go for 280 miles on a charge when it is released in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While Tesla is twiddling its thumbs over the announcement of an actual vehicle that will be built on its next-generation EV platform for mass market electric cars, other automakers are coming up with tangible alternatives. The most formidable Tesla Model 2<\/a> competitor was just fleshed out by none other than Volkswagen which earlier in the week earmarked US$127 billion for EV and battery<\/a> development by 2028.\n<\/p>\n

Just as rumored, the VW ID.2all is a true people’s car in the vein of the storied Volkswagen Golf<\/a>\u00a0line. In fact, VW said that\u00a0the electric ID.2all concept is as big as a Golf, but will come at the price of a tiny Polo when it is released in 2025. At the equivalent of US$26,400 at launch, the ID.2all will be one of the most affordable electric cars from a major automaker.\n<\/p>\n

According to VW’s head of brand management Thomas Sch\u00e4fer: “We are implementing the transformation at pace to bring electric mobility to the masses<\/i>.” The VW ID.2all will probably end up at the coveted sub-US$25,000 price with government subsidies that Tesla will also be gunning for with the Model 2 that is still in the planning stage.\n<\/p>\n

Needless to say, if someone can pull off a mass market EV at scale and with costs kept in check, this would be Tesla. With the announcement of the ID.2all, however, VW just made the Model 2 an even more pressing matter for the world’s biggest EV maker. <\/p>\n

As for the ID.2all specs, its range is envisioned to be 280 miles on a charge, or as much as the base Model 3. The Model 2 is expected to offer similar range as a component analysis pegged it as 30% lighter than the Model 3 and with 25% smaller battery<\/a> that would, however, basically offer the same range as the Model 3 due to the more compact body.\n<\/p>\n

Volkswagen also added that the ID.2all will come with a front wheel drive option, a\u00a0166 kW (226 HP) electric motor, a new infotainment system, and driver assistance features with a level of vehicle autonomy that is yet to be specified.\n<\/p>\n
