Volkswagen continues its stand up the EV revolution ladder. In 2023, Volkswagen’s full electrical car (BEV) gross sales rose 21.1% in comparison with 2022. Total, Volkswagen gross sales had been up 6.7%, so you may see that BEV gross sales grew rather more strongly than non-BEV gross sales. (Word that we’re speaking in regards to the Volkswagen model right here, not Volkswagen Group.)
In quantity phrases, Volkswagen reached 394,000 BEV gross sales in 2023, in comparison with 4.87 million complete gross sales. That signifies that 8.1% of the model’s gross sales had been BEV gross sales.
“The supply figures present that we’re heading in the right direction as a model and that our vehicles are nicely obtained by our prospects,” Volkswagen Board Member for Gross sales Imelda Labbé mentioned.
When it comes to the place Volkswagen collected essentially the most BEV gross sales (presumably, so as), the corporate’s high markets had been China, Germany, the US, the UK, Sweden, France, Norway, and Belgium. “In Germany, for instance, about 30,000 ID.4 fashions had been delivered (+ 62.9 per cent). Volkswagen’s first absolutely electrical ‘world automobile’ was additionally nicely obtained within the US: about 38,000 examples of the ID.4 had been delivered to prospects right here, which corresponds to a rise of 84.2 per cent in comparison with 2022. The ID.3 all-electric compact automobile was significantly in style in China: greater than 75,000 had been delivered in 2023 there — a over 200 per cent improve in comparison with the earlier 12 months.”

I’m excited to see what’s going to come back for Volkswagen in 2024 with these fashions, which I assume will proceed to develop in reputation. Nonetheless, Volkswagen can even be bringing extra electrical firepower 12 months after 12 months for the following a number of years. Volkswagen notes that the ID.4 and ID.5 simply acquired new working techniques and new drive techniques. Moreover, “The brand new ID.7 Tourer, the property model of the all-electric high mannequin ID.7, can even launch this 12 months.” The ID.7 is an excellent car. Any new model of it must be great as nicely. I’m desirous to see what it consists of, apart from the mannequin’s progressive anti-dooring tech and different options giving it a 5-star security score.

Apparently, Volkswagen is so enthusiastic about one other mannequin, one which doesn’t even come out till 2026, that the corporate highlighted it on the finish of its information launch about 2023 gross sales. That mannequin is “a completely electrical SUV within the high-volume A-segment.”
Will Volkswagen be capable of attain half one million BEV gross sales in 2024? How a lot will the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7, and ID.Buzz contribute to gross sales in 2024? Additionally, the place will a smaller ID.2/ID.2all mannequin place when it lastly joins the celebration?
Will BEVs attain 10% of Volkswagen model gross sales, and even get shut to fifteen%? Will Volkswagen brings its BEVs to a number of new markets in South America, Asia, Africa, and elsewhere? There are a whole lot of massive questions on the desk for the German auto big. Provided that Volkswagen is main the pack in terms of BEV gross sales from legacy automakers, I, for one, am tremendous excited to see how Volkswagen’s EV transition evolves in 2024 and 2025.
