NEW VW EV: Volkswagen to launch £17,000 MEB-Lite!
Volkswagen is shaking up the EV market in the affordability stakes! They’re planning to release a Polo-sized offering to the market using a smaller version of the MEB platform, dubbed MEB-Lite. What’s the new VW EV about?
An Attractive Proposition Indeed…
Well, for those that appreciate German quality but seek greater affordability and eco-friendly credentials for their future motoring! This bold move is spearheading entry-level electric vehicles for all! From money-savvy individuals looking to maximise those salary sacrifice schemes to business owners committed to greener motoring. As a bonus, the addition of this new model can also help businesses capitalise on some government fleet incentives too!
What will the New VW EV look like?
The majority of EVs now take saloon or family car form, but this more compact model will better serve the needs of individuals and smaller families. It’s great for those looking to tap into the benefits of electric motoring for the first time; at least without the significant investment of market-leading brands such as Tesla.
Volkswagen is world-renowned and respected for its reliability. They’re looking to attract business decision-makers and individuals with this unique combination of time-honoured reliability and the latest technology. Featuring a smaller-sized battery, ideal for powering the Polo-sized supermini. This model is purpose-built for city life with a stiff aluminium case and steel frame. It still stays true to the nimble nature of the fossil-fuelled powered Polo, which remains one of the UK’s best selling small cars to date.
The low purchase price of the MEB-Lite I.D models (now released or in production infancy) helps smaller businesses access an affordable fleet of electric cars. Not only this, but it will also provide other well-known brands with a benchmark should they wish to compete for a slice of the affordable-EV-supermini-pie.
Volkswagen’s MEB-Lite battery and I.D models can only be a good thing for a market that has so far been saturated by larger saloons with bigger price tags. Now, with reliability and affordability taking centre stage as we continue into 2021, this could see a new era of entry-level EVs taking to our roads in record numbers and make greener motoring more accessible to all.
