Volkswagen said on Friday it has delivered its 1.5 millionth all-electric ID. vehicle, a milestone it says proves demand for its EV lineup remains strong despite slowing global sales.

The landmark car, a black ID.7 Tourer Pro with a range of up to 606 km (377 miles), was handed over to a customer at Volkswagen’s Emden plant in Lower Saxony. The facility, converted at a cost of more than €1 billion, now builds only electric cars.

“1.5 million ID. models delivered, this clearly shows that Volkswagen is a pioneer in electromobility,” said Martin Sander, VW’s board member for sales. “Our portfolio contains the vehicles our customers need. As a company, we are on the right path.”

Lower Saxony’s Minister President Olaf Lies, who attended the ceremony, called the car “proof of the state’s ability to transform.”

The ID. family, launched in 2020, includes the compact ID.3, SUV ID.4, coupe ID.5, electric bus ID. Buzz, and the newer ID.7 sedan and ID.7 Tourer. The Tourer became Germany’s top-selling EV in the first half of 2025.

Volkswagen said new models will push prices lower, including the compact ID.2all under €25,000 due in 2026, and the entry-level ID. Every1 around €20,000 in 2027. But Sander urged governments to do more to encourage private buyers, noting that most EV sales in Europe still go to commercial fleets. “A clear message and specific incentives are needed to boost demand,” he said.

Volkswagen’s EV push faces challenges. The ID.7, despite success in Europe, was not launched in the U.S. after the company cited weak market conditions. In Germany, it starts at €54,105 ($63,155), while the Tourer variant is priced from €54,905 ($64,090).

Still, VW said electric cars remain a core part of its long-term strategy. “The goal is clear,” Sander said. “Volkswagen wants to make electromobility accessible to everybody – affordable, reliable and sustainable.”
