1. Volkswagen plans to release a range of compact, good looking, and affordable EVs, including the ID2 and the electric Golf GTI.
2. The ID2 is set to redefine the core values of the Volkswagen brand for the 21st century, just like the original Golf did almost 50 years ago.
3. The ID2 will use a new EV platform that is lighter, more affordable, and more flexible than the current MEB architecture.
4. The ID2's battery pack will be under the floor and between the axles, reducing the amount of copper wire needed.
5. MEB 21 promises to be a game-changer because it mimics the packaging location of a front-drive ICE powertrain.
6. The ID2 will have a large load space at the rear, including a huge underfloor compartment.
7. MEB 21 can be built in factories that currently make internal combustion engine Volkswagens with relatively little extra investment.
8. MEB 21 will also support performance Volkswagen EVs, such as the all-wheel drive ID2 GTX and the GTI version of the Golf-sized car.
9. The ID2 is intended to be Volkswagen's halo car in terms of its design and performance, with a target price of under $26,000.
10. MEB 21 won't replace MEB, but it will meaningfully improve MEB's performance and functionality.
