My bad. Expected delivery is in a year? I actually hope so but cannot see it. Manufacturing a brand new product isn't straight forward, look at the issues Tesla had with the model 3, yet had been producing the Model X for a while.Are we talking about the same thing. Everywhere says.
Has been undergoing testing for months.
- Online deposits from 8th May
- September is first reveal of final production ready car.
- Expected delivery date March 2020
Cost will match a Diesel Golf for the entry level. The car is essentially ready to go once winter testing is complete.
Mid range was expected to be 250 mile range but testing proved to be 280 mile.
With VWs recent foul play with emissions and mpg I would expect they will be careful not to over estimate these details. Here’s hoping.

Your comparing apples and bananas.Oh look a flying pig....
£80k Audi eTron which still isn't been delivered to customers has an EPA range of 200 miles, so a VAG hatchback with 280 miles of range for £20k seems just a tad unlikely.
Your comparing apples and bananas.
Also
It’s been 4-5 years since the i3 came out with 60 mile range.
I can see a similar situation to the hard drive in PCs
Year 2005 - 200GB drives
5 years later 1-2 TB drives
We we all be shocked what’s just round the corner now big companies are throwing money in.
It is a little bit different to hard drives however.Your comparing apples and bananas.

Not really. There getting clever now the science bods are looking at it more closely. Same happened with HD storage. Multi layer platters. Double sided. All simple ideas.It is a little bit different to hard drives however.

The ID uses new type of batteries but not Lithium-air batteries. They are the next big jump it seems.
It is an improved Lithium-ion battery with increased nickel content:
The ID. Battery from Volkswagen
ARRRRRRRRRRRGH! MY EYES!!!!!
I've been off work with the flu with time on my hands and took a quick look.
The VW eUP has a range of 66 miles and has a list price of £23k. Even with subsidy that is nearly £20k.
“In September 2016, Volkswagen presented the first I.D. study at the Paris Salon. 24 months later, the all-electric Volkswagen is approaching production readiness at high speed. With scalable ranges at the level of today's petrol engines and the price level of current diesel, the ID. has the potential to initiate the breakthrough for environmentally friendly electric mobility and thus a new drive era.”Exactly, and yet the PR material will have you believe in a few months VW will sell you an ID with 4 times the range and for less money....
