The company is selling off remaining electric vehicles

Volkswagen currently offers only two electric models in the US and relies heavily on vehicles from inventory. Production of the US version of the ID.4 at the Chattanooga plant was halted in April to free up capacity for gasoline SUV production. Imports of the ID. Buzz were also stopped, and the available minivans are 2025 models.

Volkswagen cut the price of the ID.4 by up to $12,500 to reduce dealer inventories. At the same time, the ID. Buzz has a starting price of $61,545, while the model's maximum range is 234 miles. The publication notes that the updated ID. Tiguan electric crossover, which will replace the ID.4, is expected to enter the US market next year. The ID. Buzz is scheduled to return as a 2028 model with an NACS charging port, updated software, and different body colors.
