Volkswagen EV Portfolio

Volkswagen is an EV brand owned by Volkswagen Group and made in Germany. This model portfolio showcases the shift toward zero-emission mobility.

Vehicles are organized by model family. A model family is an OEM-defined product program sharing a common platform, architecture, and market positioning, from which multiple body styles, variants, and trims are derived.

Volkswagen EV Model Families

List of Volkswagen EV model families - only all-electric (BEV) models are listed:

Volkswagen EV Technology

Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof

E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute

OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable

Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.

Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots

About Volkswagen

Volkswagen is one of the world's most established automakers and a central pillar of the global transition to electric mobility. Headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, the company has redefined itself through its "Way to Zero" strategy, which commits to full carbon neutrality across its products and operations by 2050. Known for its engineering precision and mass production mastery, Volkswagen is now channeling those strengths into developing high-volume, high-quality electric vehicles designed to make sustainable transportation accessible to millions of people worldwide.

The company's electric transformation is anchored by its modular MEB platform, a scalable architecture engineered specifically for battery electric vehicles. This platform underpins a diverse range of models across Volkswagen Group brands including the ID series such as the ID 3, ID 4, ID 5, ID 7, and the ID Buzz which revives the spirit of the classic Microbus. These vehicles share core battery and drivetrain components while differing in size, design, and market positioning. The MEB platform supports both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations, rapid DC charging, and advanced digital connectivity, enabling Volkswagen to scale production efficiently across global regions.

Volkswagen is investing heavily in vertical integration of its EV supply chain, with major initiatives in battery manufacturing, software, and energy infrastructure. The company established PowerCo SE, its dedicated battery subsidiary, to oversee the development of unified cell technology and the construction of gigafactories in Germany, Spain, and Canada. These facilities are central to Volkswagen's plan to secure cost-effective, high-performance batteries while advancing circular recycling and renewable-powered production. Simultaneously, the company is expanding its software capabilities through Cariad, an internal division focused on operating systems, over-the-air updates, and automated driving technologies.

Global production of Volkswagen's electric models spans a wide industrial footprint including plants in Zwickau, Emden, and Chattanooga, each retooled for dedicated EV manufacturing. The company's charging and energy ecosystem, built in collaboration with partners such as Electrify America and Ionity, supports seamless long-distance travel and integration with home and grid energy systems. With strong brand recognition, decades of engineering expertise, and an extensive manufacturing base, Volkswagen is executing one of the most ambitious electrification strategies in the world, positioning itself as a global benchmark for large-scale sustainable mobility.
