Finally, some happy days in the Volkswagen group. The electric batch is once gaining real momentum. Multiple trademarks through the vast car group report a significant increase in EV sales. During the month of June, global delivery operations for pure electric cars increased by 47 % to 465,500 units. This mutation increased from the EV share of total delivery processes from 7 % to 11 %.
It is not just one company that pulls weight. The Volkswagen Basic brand witnessed 14.3 % sales climbing to 192,600 units.

the ID.4 And ID.5 was the best -selling EVS for the group to June, with a sales combined with 84,900 units. More well -prices ID. When approaching the platform, the Audi Q4 E-Tron and its Sportback siblings generated 44,600 sales.
The best VW part? The most affordable EVS has not been launched yet. In 2026, ID.2 will reach a start price of about 25,000 euros ($ 29,300) in Germany, followed in 2027 with a cheaper definition. According to the usual VW strategy, many derivatives that wear different slogans of sister brands will join the squad.
With more budget -friendly EVS on the road and The ninth generation, the electric golf only Before 2030, the future appears promising for the VW group. It also helps to continue the fall of Tesla at a rate that warns of danger. However, the competition extends beyond Elon Musk; Stelantis and Renault are also expanding their EV offers quickly for a possible ban on new ice cars in Europe since 2035. Chinese car manufacturers have increased their presence throughout Europe and beyond, making it difficult for VW to maintain sales momentum.
Meanwhile, the strong EV performance in the VW group in the first half of the year increased 1.3 % in the total delivery operations, reaching 4.41 million cars.

But selling more cars alone will not fit everything. VW reduces costs strongly, including more than 35,000 job discounts in Germany by 2030. local production capacity will be reduced by 734,000 units, partly by transferring golf production to Mexico. The future of the Osnabrück factory is not yet certain T-roc is convertible He was stopped in mid -2017. Volkswagen will also stop producing cars in Dresden by the end of this year. These are just a few pieces of the sweeping restructuring plan in late last year.
While increasing EV sales give VW some breathing room, it also highlights a continuous problem: profitability. The company recently recognized Make real money on electric cars is still difficult. Originally, the cost -targeting of the cost with ICE vehicles this year has now pushed this landmark until 2026. Once the EV cost code is cracked, its electrical attack is likely to accelerate further. Meanwhile, the pressure is rising to avoid fines for the huge European Union fleet emissions, and perhaps in billions, so paying EVS is more difficult is more than just a good job; It is an organizational necessity.
