Rarely can the future be seen and felt as directly as at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt, where Volkswagen has, according to many, taken a crucial step. The Volkswagen ID.3 is on the market, and the price is so close to conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines that it is able to convince many people who thought the idea of an electric car was just too much. Its basic price will be lower than 30,000 euros. With various incentives and subsidies, it can go even lower. Into a field where an electric car is a completely logical choice.
Volkswagen ID.3 behaves appropriately for the brand when it is launched on the market - that is, it throws down the gauntlet to the public and other competitors, including Tesla, and puts virtual bar, which will need to be achieved. With reach also up to 550 kilometers nullifies the various arguments that an electric car is not completely usable on a daily basis - with you will be able to drive to them without any problems a trip to the sea. The historical milestone is set mainly with the price. Customers will literally be able to choose between electricity and "gasoline". A choice with many trump cards electric vehicles it won't be difficult.

VISION and the king of sandy beaches ID. BUGGY. That's how it is at the car show IAA 2019 the present flows into the future. This is the beginning of a new era for the brand Volkswagen and automotive mobility.
