VW ID.Buzz in the USA is very popular: high demand is surprising VW
from Constantin Hoffmann to Nov 11, 2024
The sale of the Elektro Bullis VW ID.Buzz will start shortly in the USA, and enthusiasm is already enormous. Find out why the E-van fascinates the Americans.
High demand before the start of sales
Volkswagen is experiencing a surprisingly high demand for the electro-van id.buzz in the United States. Although the sale has not yet officially started, retailers report numerous interested parties who are willing to make deposits to be among the first owners. Volkswagen US chief Pablo Di Si confirms: "I often hear from Americans who want to make sure they get one of the first copies."
Worries about possible usury prices
The enthusiasm for the ID.Buzz is so great that VW executives are concerned that dealers could request excessive prices. Despite an already high entry price of $ 61,545 (approx. 56,700 euros), the immense demand could lead to additional surcharges. Volkswagen appeals to the dealers to focus on long -term customer loyalty instead of short -term profits.
Production should be significantly increased
In order to do justice to the demand, Volkswagen plans to produce between 120,000 and 150,000 units of the ID.Buzz in the work of VW custody vehicles. From there, the vehicles are to be shipped all over the world. Di Si is confident: "There will be high demand in the first 18 to 24 months."
Differences to the European market
While the ID.Buzz is expected in the USA, the sale in Europe is rather slow. Despite its attractive retro optics, many Europeans find the electric bulli too expensive. In addition, the interior design disappoints some buyers due to the use of cheap materials.
Positive prospects for electromobility in the USA
The increasing demand for the ID.Buzz reflects the growing trust of the Americans into electromobility. Thanks to an increasingly available charging infrastructure, more and more people are opting for electric vehicles. Volkswagen hopes to continue this trend and are planning to offer the Limousine VW ID.7 in the USA next year. In addition, the company relies on the currently falling interest, the effect of which should be noticeable in the coming months.
Conclusion
The VW ID.Buzz hits the nerve of the times in the USA. The combination of retro design and modern electrical engineering inspires the Americans. Volkswagen faces the challenge of using the high demand and at the same time ensuring fair prices. It remains exciting to observe how the market for the electric bulli is developing.
