VW has officially started production of the ID.3, its first electric car on the new MEB platform, and it marks the start of the conversion of its massive Zwickau factory from gasoline-powered car production to EV production.
The German automaker unveiled the ID.3, a small electric hatchback, in September earlier this year.
It is offered in different variants, with between 300 and 500 km of range starting at “under $33,000 (€30,000).”
Today, VW announced the official start of production of the ID.3 at its Zwickau plant in Germany.
Now VW plans to ramp up the plant to produce 100,000 ID.3 as soon as next year, and the number of electric vehicles built in Zwickau will increase to 330,000 units in 2021.
