> it’s due to start production in two years

The specs are great for 2025. Let’s wait for 2027 when BYD has a better performing model for much less.

I am all vouching for VW’s electric efforts. I drove the ID Buzz which is great. I just wonder if they could sell competitively without tariffs in the EU.

They already sell the eUp, which in my country costs €18k after government incentives. It has a range of 260km.

This looks like it is just a replacement for that in the "ID" range.

I think the id.2 (25k before incentives, out next year) is supposed to be the replacement for that.
The e-Up isn't sold anymore since EOY 2023.
No, of course they can't. You can't beat extremely cheap labor, government subsidized lithium, and devalued currency without tariffs.
