Volkswagen offers a growing range of fully electric ID. models, incorporating the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7, ID7. Tourer and ID. Buzz. The line‑up will continue to expand as new models are introduced.

Yes – selected Volkswagen EVs qualify for a government grant that offers £1,500 off certain battery‑electric vehicles that meet pricing and environmental criteria. Several Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4 and ID.5 models are eligible when the final purchase price is below £42,000, with the discount automatically applied at the point of order.
Also, Volkswagen EVs can still benefit from low Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates for company car drivers, as well as potential savings on road tax and local charges, depending on current regulations.
Absolutely. Volkswagen EVs produce zero exhaust emissions, helping reduce local air pollution. Their efficient electric motors and regenerative braking also make them cleaner to run than traditional petrol or diesel vehicles.
A wallbox isn’t included as standard, but we can help you arrange a home charger installation through trusted partners. This ensures safe, reliable and efficient charging from day one.
Volkswagen offers a choice of battery capacities across the ID. collection, allowing you to prioritise affordability, range or performance. These typically range from 52 kWh to 86 kWh, with larger battery capacities providing longer distances between charges.
Charging times vary by model and charger type. A home wallbox typically takes several hours to fully charge your vehicle, while rapid public chargers can add a substantial amount of range in around 30 minutes.
Most Volkswagen EVs offer a real‑world range comfortably suited to daily driving, with many models capable of 200 to 350-plus miles on a single charge. This makes longer journeys simple, especially with the UK’s expanding public charging network.
