Volkswagen has marked a major milestone in its shift to electromobility, delivering the 1.5 millionth vehicle from its all-electric ID. family.
The anniversary car, a black ID.7 Tourer Pro with a range of up to 606 kilometers, was handed over to a customer at the Volkswagen plant in Emden, in the presence of Lower Saxony’s Minister President Olaf Lies.
“1.5 million ID. models delivered, this clearly shows that Volkswagen is a pioneer in the field of electromobility,” said Martin Sander, Board Member for Sales, Marketing and After Sales. “Almost exactly five years ago, in September 2020, the first electric vehicles from Volkswagen’s all-electric ID. family were delivered.
“Volkswagen now tops the registration statistics in the electric segment not only in Germany but also in Europe. This confirms that our portfolio contains the vehicles our customers need. As a company, we are on the right path. Volkswagen remains a trailblazer in the ramp-up phase of electromobility.”
In the company of Kai Grünitz, Board Member responsible for Technical Development, Sander handed over the keys to a customer from Vechta in Lower Saxony. Minister President Lies added: “The ID.7 embodies the strength of Lower Saxony and is proof of the state’s ability to transform.” He noted that his official car during his tenure as Minister for Economic Affairs was an ID.7 built in Emden.
The Emden plant highlights Volkswagen’s transition to electric vehicle production, with over one billion euros invested to convert it into an exclusively electric facility.
Alongside Zwickau and the Gläserne Manufaktur Dresden, Emden is one of the few Volkswagen plants worldwide dedicated solely to electric vehicles. Additional ID. models are produced in Hanover, Chattanooga (USA), and Foshan, Changsha, and Anting in China.
The ID. family has expanded steadily since the launch of the ID.3 in 2020, followed by the ID.4 SUV in 2021, the ID.5 coupé, the ID. Buzz electric bus, and the more recent ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer launched in 2024. The ID.7 Tourer was the electric vehicle with the highest number of registrations in Germany in the first half of 2025.
Looking ahead, Volkswagen plans to launch new ID. models to broaden access to electric mobility.
The production version of the compact ID. 2all3, priced under €25,000, will debut in 2026, followed in 2027 by the entry-level ID. EVERY13, costing around €20,000.
Sander concluded: “The goal is clear: Volkswagen wants to make electromobility accessible to everybody – affordable, reliable and sustainable.”
