Volkswagen is celebrating a historic milestone in its success in the electric car market. The German automaker experienced significant growth in 2022, evidenced by a 23.8% increase in global registrations in its zero-emission line.

This brought the total number of vehicles sold to customers to an impressive 330,000 units. These figures show that Volkswagen has a solid and successful strategy for its electric vehicle portfolio.

The Volkswagen ID.4 SUV, responsible for the sale of 170,000 vehicles throughout the year, was a shining example of the period. Built on the MEB modular platform, the crossover is part of a strong lineup of electric cars, which includes the ID.3, ID.5, ID.6, and ID.Buzz.
