This is the latest model to be added to the Volkswagen line
up – it’s
a pure-electric Golf-sized hatchback that will turn heads no matter where it
goes. Although it is still in its early stages, the ID.3 is looking like it will
have a three-level line up, with the top level having a single charge of up to
342 miles. It will take the form of a single, rear-mounted electric motor,
which will only provide energy to the back wheels.
Another remarkable point about this new model is that it’s set to be the world’s first carbon-neutral vehicle when it launches, and it’s said that VW have invested a whopping £10billion euros into developing its fleet of electric vehicles to help ensure the company is completely carbon-neutral by 2050. During its lifetime, the ID.3 will emit a total of 44 tonnes of CO2, of which 65% is fuel consumption, while the production process and supply chain only account for around 15%.
Charging will come in two forms of AC charging – 7.2kW and 11kW, and there will also be DC charging available up to 125kw via a CCS connection, which is the maximum that can be achieved with the car’s 400-volt electrical system. This should therefore also result in an 80% charge in 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the battery you select.
Pre-booking for the first models opens in May, so if you’d like to be one of the first to get your hands on this distinctive and forward-thinking model, make sure you set the date in your diary for Wednesday 8th May 2019.
