ID.Buzz reaches 10,000 pre-orders without even being in the dealership

ID.Buzzthe home electric van Volksvagen that the company has unveiled to the public in recent months and will be delivered starting in autumn, has collected over 10,000 orders to date by consumers in European nations.

This is a somewhat unexpected resultgiven the characteristics and novelty of this product, but which should not be surprising: this type of car has always attracted the interest of a certain type of consumer and the peculiarity of ID.Buzz of being completely electric makes it even more interesting ,

At the base the MEB platformcommon to the other Volkswagen cars of the ID family, with a 82kWh capacity battery packand an approximately 200 horsepower engine that provides drive to the rear wheels.

Interesting to report how most of the purchase orders come from Norwaya small nation in population but which in recent years has become the home of fully electric cars with a much higher market diffusion than any other world market.

There were 3,400 pre-orders in Norwayfollowed by 2,500 orders from Germanycome on 1,100 of Holland and come on 1,000 of Belgium. All this without ID.Buzz being available in dealerships for a test drive, or even just to be able to see it for yourself. Sales are currently limited to some European countries: in France, United Kingdom and Italy, for example, ID.Buzz cannot be ordered yet.

A volume of requests of this type implies that very easily the entire production planned by Volkswagen for 2022 will be sold before the end of the year. In the company’s plans, the estimates were for a construction of around 15,000 cars for the current year. For 2023, estimates are of 60,000 cars, with sales expected to rise to 130,000 per year when the range will also be offered to North American consumers in 2024.
