VW confirmed the Golf will be one of several EVs based on its next-generation dedicated EV platform, known as SSP, which will use a new unified prismatic battery cell strategy.

The ID.GTI Concept pays homage to all the gasoline versions of the GTI, while applying the formula to a cost-conscious EV.

Volkswagen is teasing autonomous-driving tech to America in the short-wheelbase version it won't sell in the U.S.

What has VW been doing that the iconic Bus took 20 years to return, and why won't it arrive in the U.S. until 2024?

The U.S. ID.Buzz will arrive later in 2024 and offer three rows of seating, 10 more inches, more power, and likely more miles of range.

The tax-credit rules require North American assembly of vehicles and their battery packs, and set requirements for where battery raw materials can be sourced from.

These combustion versions of the Golf, already discontinued in the U.S., might potentially be replaced by EVs bearing the Golf name around 2028.

The ID.7 one-ups electric SUVs by going farther, more comfortably, with less.

The ID.2all is the first MEB-based vehicle with front-wheel drive, and it's about two feet shorter than the ID.4.

The PowerCo facilities are due to make a new cell format headed into EVs built on VW Group's next-generation EV platform, termed SSP.

Volkswagen may be turning less to suppliers for the design of key EV propulsion components and more to in-house development.

VW's current American CEO said the more options on the table the better because "we take CO2 and emissions seriously, and this is another solution."

According to VW's top U.S. executive, the possible pickup could have a hybrid of plug-in hybrid powertrain, but that it would definitely be one or the other.

In affected vehicles, software may cause a sudden loss of power while driving, due to a reset battery management control or deactivated inverter.

The Canadian province of Ontario is reportedly in the running for a battery plant, while an EV smaller than the ID.4 may have already been given the green light.

The updated version, dubbed MEB+, will incorporate charging and battery updates, plus an electrical architecture designed to support more advanced driver-assist tech.

2023 Volkswagen ID.4 prices are getting hiked $1,500 in early 2023, bringing the price of a base ID.4 Standard over the $40,000 mark.

Unlike Tesla or Polestar, this won't be an over-the-air update that can be done in an owner's driveway; it will require a dealership visit and the replacement of the 12-volt battery.

Building its own plant for the electric trucks is now the least likely option, according to the report, which indicates an about-face versus earlier this year, when VW was reportedly shopping for new factory sites.

A new Golf EV and Tiguan EV are reportedly being considered now that the brand's flagship electric car is being delayed to 2030.
