Volkswagen launches its first all-electric SUV, the ID.4

For decades, Volkswagen was known for putting millions of people into
affordable wheels. The name literally means "the people's car."

But the people got burned a little back in 2015, when VW was busted
for cheating on emissions systems on its diesel-powered cars.

Now, a new chapter in the brand's history. Part mea culpa, and part
inevitability - a new line of all-electric cars, starting with the
ID.4 compact SUV.

Like other EVs, it's quiet, quick, and doesn't produce emissions.
It's also stylish, and caught a lot of attention on the road.

Climb into the 1st Edition model, and it's like stepping into a
rolling Apple store with abundant white surfaces promising an
experience of technology.

And the ID.4 delivers there, with not just safety tech aplenty, but
connectivity - from the app that manages the car's systems, to 4G
broadband that lets you hear your favorite internet radio stations.

Its range is about 250 miles, and when the battery gets low, the
electric Volkswagen accepts high-speed charging. You can use one of
the new Electrify America chargers popping up in places - VW had to
pay for them as part of its emissions settlement with the government.
Charge up the ID.4's battery while you grab coffee or groceries in
about 30 minutes.

All of Volkswagen's new line of electric vehicles will have names
beginning with ID, like this one, and including one that still a ways
out, but has been getting tons of buzz, from the get-go.

And that's literally its name - ID Buzz. Yep, it'll be a people
carrier in the spirit of the old Volkswagen microbus. But you'll have
to be patient; it's still two years away. There are already buyers
lined up waiting for it, even though the price and final design
haven't even been revealed.

As for the ID.4, it starts at about $40,000, though incentives bring
it closer to the $30,000-$35,000 range. Other electric ID models will
follow, perhaps some at lower prices.
