Volkswagen decided to go very big into electromobility. For this purpose, they developed the platform MEB, Modularer Elektrifizierungsbaukasten (modular electrifying construction kit). This is a construction kit for electric vehicles, which shall be the future base for many different models, among them several models of the ID.-family.
