It Is Expected That In 2028 There Will Be A Significant Change, With The Implementation Of A New Approach To Electric Cars That Refer More To Tradition. This New Guideline Promises To Alter The Landscape Of The Automotive Industry.
‘The Golf Is And Continues To Be An Absolutely Essential Model For Volkswagen. The Golf, Like All The [C] Segment, Is Still Very Popular In Europe. And I Believe This Will Continue. That Is Why We Are Bringing The Golf Into The Electric Era’, Said Thomas Schäfer, CEO Of Volkswagen.
New Model From Volkswagen: Volkswagen ID.3 Facelift
Produced At The Zwickau Plant In Germany, Alongside The Cupra Born, The ID.3 Has Faced A Decline In Production Due To Lower Than Expected Demand In Europe. This Has Also Impacted The Transparent Factory In Dresden, From Where The Electric SUV ID.4 Is Produced.
However, Volkswagen Is Looking To The Future And Is Already Working On Its Replacement. The New Electric Car, Based On The New Platform Called SSP, Will Be More Affordable Than The ID.3 And Promises To Be More Conventional. The New Architecture Will Be Highly Flexible And Will Feature An 800-Volt System, Enabling Extremely Fast Recharges, Like Recovering (10-80%) In Approximately 12 Minutes. This Model Will Be Based On The VW Golf Electric.
The Electric Volkswagen ID.3 Had The Hard Task Of Leading The Transition Of The German Automaker To Electric Cars. It Was The First To Use The MEB Platform, Designed For Electric Vehicles, But It Did Not Achieve The Success As Planned. In 2028, It Will Be Replaced By A More Conventional Electric Model.
