Volkswagen Unveils Concept for €20,000 Electric Car, Launch Expected in 2027

The ID. Every1 aims to make EVs more affordable, but faces competition as rivals already offer budget-friendly models.

Volkswagen has revealed the ID. Every1, a concept for an affordable electric vehicle priced at approximately €20,000, with production planned to start in 2027.
The ID. Every1 is positioned as the successor to the discontinued VW E-Up and will target the entry-level EV market, aiming to broaden accessibility to electric mobility.
The car will be based on a modified version of VW's Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) platform and will be produced in Europe, likely in Portugal, due to cost constraints.
Volkswagen faces strong competition from Chinese and European manufacturers, some of whom already offer EVs under €20,000 or plan to launch similar models before 2027.
High initial costs remain a barrier to EV adoption, with surveys showing nearly half of consumers find current electric vehicle prices prohibitive, underscoring the importance of affordable options like the ID. Every1.
