The Volkswagen ID. EVERY1 is an affordable EV for the masses

No, it isn't.
It might be, if Volkswagen actually come through on their promises, in 20whatever.

You can tell it's a concept that isn't in production because it has big wheels with thin tires and no tire-to-fender gap.
Concept images are just for hype.

Ok mr reviewer
Why don't you tell us less about WV's strategy a more about how the car is.
Does it spy on you?
What kind of EULA will I need to agree to?
Does it have car play/android auto?
Does it have a 4G antenna to connect to VW servers even if I don't enable the feature?
Does it have an app?
In what ways is VW going to try to get subscription money from me?
How much does servicing cost?
How much will a set of brake pads cost?
Does VW support 3rd party repair shops?
Does VW try to lockdown parts and forbid 3rd party repairs?
Can it be remotely disabled? By me, by VW, by law enforcement?
What happens when the battery needs replacing?Review what? It's a concept. This is basically an ad. lol

Sounds like a model name for American police cars.
VW lost the plot on product names years ago.
-
I love the style. Finally they're breaking their idiotic EV styling they came up with years ago. The ID.3 is just plain ugly.
Any car company can draw pretty cars. lol

I don't get thesr automakers, who is this made for, don't they see that tesla is killing it with their largr batteries. Why can't they put a 600miles battery with 2 motors for awd, get some fake noises/feels when changing gears, get some smaller rims with more rubber and put the best brake system for an 18" wheel - which I think is the Brembo Sensify. Keep the physical buttons for important features for easy access, add a huge lcd panel for navigation and include carplay/android auto wirelessly - done deal. Make it cost as much as a full blown tesla model s and call it a day - you just stole 90% of the market. Add quick charging system and then you just gotta start building better charging stations.
Wait tesla is killing them and if it wasn't for Musk going full adolf, he could have had the universal people's car.
EVs don’t need fancy brakes because they use regenerative braking.

But starting anew with a bad concept is still a bad start.

Very true.

There's that, but the problem is weight, with a 600mile range battery it's gonna be a heavy car, with small 18 inch tires and more rubber to make the ride softer you can't fit large piston brakes, so you need to make changes to improve the overall experience - think about a system that stops a small EV with the weight of a large SUV faster than a sports car. It would make for an amazing driving experience as EVs have great acceleration, just not the best weight balance, even though it's mostly kept to the floor for a lower point of gravity. Not to mention you would be saving lives in the case of an accident.

There are already affordable EVs in Europe, as an example the Dacia Spring which has the same 230km autonomy and even lower price (18-19.000€ retail final price to consumer in Portugal which has high taxes on new vehicles).
Not as snazzy looking though, that's what's really important! /s

Regenerative braking is great for slowing down gradually, but when you really need to stop quick, it's your brakes that will do most of the work.
I wouldn't trust any vehicle with front drums in a panic stop.

The wheels still scream "I'm an EV!" though, with that design that incorporates loads of flat area, but I'm glad the body design is moving away.
I can see why manufacturers wanted "EV style" - EVs were the new hotness and so the makers want to strongly telegraph the electric nature of the car in the design language. And I'm sure certain consumers also liked driving around in something that looks like an alien spaceship.
But that design gets old real quick. Personally I don't want crazy, I want classic shapes and a car that just looks like an ordinary car.

Lmfao I never made that connection

Exactly! It's choosing not to do so which makes some companies special!

I looked up the Dacia Spring and it says, that it's manufactured in China.
-
It's a concept car; none of those things are actually known or knowable yet.
Ehhh I think it is. You should pretty much expect all of those things from any new car.
Consumers have spoken and they don't care about privacy, reliability or repairability.

They should produce a Beetle EV.

The manufacturing county of the world is manufacturing this car?

Well this car is for people who don’t want to spend the kind of money you need to spend on a Tesla. This is supposed to be a cheap EV. Also the car you described exists. Porsche, Mercedes and Lotus are selling Model S competitors.
