Volkswagen ID.3 is a compact EV, the successor to the e-Golf, and the first of VW’s model range based on the MEB platform dedicated to electric cars. Three in the name is the segment designation, with 1 reserved for the A segment, and 2 for the B or supermini segment. I also heard a marketing spin that the ID.3 is VW’s first breakthrough model after the Beetle and the Golf, because it starts the era of mass e-mobility.
Why not simply new e-Golf, e-Tiguan, e-Polo? Because in order to make the e-Golf happen, the engineers had to stuff all the electric bits and bobs into a car designed for an internal combustion engine. You can swap the engine and the fuel tank for an electric motor and some batteries, but that’s not an optimum solution. It’s better to design a new layout on a new platform, and build on that.
It would be difficult to add more batteries to the e-Golf. Denser batteries - yes, but not bigger. In case of the MEB, there’s space between the front and the rear axle to add or remove some batteries depending on the range the client needs. And you can add AWD as well.
