Volkswagen Is A Sneaky EV Success Story

"Volkswagen announced on Friday that it had sold its 2 millionth electric car, an ID.3 hatchback. To be clear, we're talking about just VW here, not the group's other brands like Porsche and Audi. While VW has been in the EV game for over a decade, the overwhelming majority of those sales happened in just the last few years across its modern electric lineup."

"To date, VW says that globally it has sold roughly 628,000 ID.3 hatchbacks and 901,000 ID.4/ID.5 crossovers. The ID.7, available as both a sedan and a wagon, is VW's new best-selling EV, accounting for 132,000 sales since its launch in 2023."

"In its home market, VW is making strides. The company is now Europe's biggest seller of EVs, eclipsing a shrinking Tesla. While the U.S. market for electric cars hit a rough patch, the brand's European EV sales grew by roughly 50%, hitting 247,900 units."

In Europe, VW became the continent's largest EV seller, surpassing Tesla, with European sales growing 50% to 247,900 units. Globally, VW sold 382,000 all-electric vehicles last year. However, U.S. performance remains weaker due to recalls affecting the ID.4 and ID. Buzz, regulatory rollbacks, and eliminated EV incentives making the American market less hospitable for electric vehicle sales.
