[image https://media.caradvice.com.au/image/private/c_fill,q_auto,f_auto,w_1024,ar_16:9/c29oflq1lapmjn2ccogk.jpg ] Details about the Volkswagen ID hatch, the first electric car based on the MEB platform, are beginning to leak out ahead of the opening of pre-orders on May 8, European time. Volkswagen is getting ready to launch its full-blown assault on the electric car market, but it appears profit won't be easy to come by until around 2025. Based on the 2016 Volkswagen ID concept [ https://www.caradvice.com.au/485246/volkswagen-i-d-concept-revealed-in-paris-production-version-due-in-2020/ ], the final name for the Golf-size tall hatch is unknown, but rumours indicate it could be ID Neo or ID3. According to the latest edition of Auto Motor und Sport (via Automobile Propre [ https://www.automobile-propre.com/volkswagen-i-d-neo-la-version-48-kwh-a-24-000-euros-bonus-deduit/ ]), there will be three versions of the Volkswagen ID. The base variant will have a 48kWh battery pack and a WLTP range rating of 330 kilometres. This model will be priced from €29,900 ($47,170) in Germany. Government incentives in France will reduce the price to a more reasonable €23,900 ($37,400). An entry-level Golf, by comparison, starts from €19,520 ($30,800). Like some other electric car manufacturers, the base model will not be available from the start. Instead, Volkswagen will offer a Launch Edition with a 62kWh battery and a claimed range of 450km. Pricing for this model is expected to kick off from €35,000 ($55,200) before government incentives. Lastly, there will also be a range-topping model with roughly 600km of driving range. The magazine says Volkswagen expects to lose about €3000 ($4730) on every ID hatch sold, with profitability forecast to begin around 2025.
