Is There a New Volkswagen EV in the Works?

Volkswagen has a second electric SUV in the works for the US, which will come off the heels of the ID. 4’s production. VW’s Chattanooga plant may erect the future EV after the automaker decided to construct a compact electric SUV that would be a little more petite than the ID.4. Although it has yet to be said which platform the new electric vehicle would feature, the reimagined MEB+ framework is a clear winner. 

Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant harbors a few tricks up its sleeve, mainly because the automaker is considering a battery cell plant in Canada’s Ontario province. As a result, the Tennessee-oriented plant is much closer to Canada than the German automaker’s Mexico plant, which ultimately translates to a more direct transport route. 

The automaker’s subsidiary battery company, Volkswagen PowerCo, has initiated some steps toward finding the perfect location for its first battery cell factory, with Canada, Ontario, listed as a possibility. Nonetheless, VW declared that it would invest in material mines in the country. In addition, the German automaker’s battery material partner, Umicore, plans to construct its first factory in North America to assemble its cathode and precursor materials for electric vehicle batteries in the Canadian province of Ontario. 

Let’s get back to the future VW compact SUV EV, and it needs to be clarified what model the ID. maker is considering. Yet, the US may steal the European markets Volkswagen ID.3 SUV, which was initially teased stateside by the CEO Thomas Schäfer in October 2022. Schäfer proclaimed that Volkswagen Group would reveal ten new electric vehicles to enthusiasts by 2026, and one EV would be the ID.3 hatchback.
