Mission to Make the New Volkswagen Electric Car a Profitable Vehicle
In this mission by Volkswagen to make its new electric car a profitable vehicle, one way the brand has found to control costs is by sharing the design of its new vehicle with other car brands such as Skoda, Seat, and Cupra.
Additionally, Volkswagen is also implementing cheaper chemicals and LFP batteries, which are lithium iron phosphate batteries, that is, another way to make the electric car more profitable.
The Volkswagen car will have a capacity of approximately 60 kWh, enough for at least 400 km of range. It is expected that the new ID.1 electric vehicle will have many components compared to the ID.2, which will have a similar appearance to a Golf. The ID.1 will resemble the Polo. Both are expected to be sold in Brazil, but not before 2025.
