Volkswagen said pre-orders for the ID.3 electric hatchback surpassed 10 units in just 000 hours.
The German automaker opened pre-orders for the ID.3 on Wednesday, which requires the customer to pay a deposit of 1000 euros.
Volkswagen has announced that the entry-level electric car will cost less than 30 euros and will be delivered to Europe in mid-2020.
Volkswagen ID.3 will be officially presented in September this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The car was named ID.3 due to the fact that Volkswagen considers the new product as the third major milestone in the history of the company, after such models as the Golf and Beetle.
In fact, customers currently pre-book the purchase, and they will be able to formally pre-order the ID.3 after the Frankfurt auto show. Pre-orders will become mandatory in April 2020, and those customers who change their mind about buying an electric car before that date will be able to receive a full refund of the deposit.
Volkswagen plans to produce three versions of the ID.3 electric car with battery capacities of 45, 58 and 77 kWh and a range of 200, 261 and 342 miles (in the WLTP cycle) respectively (322, 420 and 550 km).
Note that the ID.3 1ST model with a battery capacity of 58 kWh and a power reserve of 420 km can currently be reserved, the cost of which is 40 euros. Model ID.3 1ST will be released in a limited edition of 30 thousand pieces.
