“The first ever ID.4 EV in the country was delivered to our store on Monday! From the Port of Baltimore all the way to Catonsville, come along for the ride.”

The ID.4 deliveries were finally coming as the first group of customers received notifications about the expected delivery in March.

The market launch was originally planned for late December 2020, but then delayed by about a quarter, as the company was busy producing and delivering as many EVs as possible in Europe (to lower its annual average CO2 emission of new cars).

Considering the high interest in the ID.4, the company can safely assume that ID.4 should be among the top-selling electric cars. This is aside from Tesla, which is in a different league compared to other BEVs in terms of volume.

While the first cars were produced in Zwickau, Germany, at some point in the future Volkswagen intends to start local production of the ID.4 at the Chattanooga plant in Tennessee. The original plan was 2022, but with the most recent situation with SK Innovation it’s not known for sure.
