As Volkswagen works to look toward the future, following its hurting diesel deceit, electrical cars and plug-in vehicles will be front and center in its product publicity.
The German automaker has already hinted at its future electrical cars with a handful of concepts, but its very first high-volume electrical cars won’t arrive until 2019.
What do we know about Volkswagen’s five upcoming electrical cars? We break it down below.
Above all, the overarching strategy for Volkswagen is less focused on the United States than on China, the world’s largest car market and arguably the one with the most aggressive electric-car plans.
A leaked product roadmap detailing VW’s five electrical cars shows an emphasis on the Chinese market, with three of the five confirmed for that country.
Those are the I.D. Cross, I.D. Lounge, and the I.D. AEROe—note Volkswagen has not previewed the Lounge or AEROe yet.

Volkswagen’s very first I.D. electric-car concept, which simply wears the “I.D.” name, also won’t reach the U.S. market. VW plans to sell the electrified Golf-sized hatchback only in Europe, where five-door compact hatches are most popular.
Circling back to the I.D. Lounge and I.D. AEROe, both nameplates have been confirmed for the United States even tho’ they haven’t yet been exposed.
From the photo, the I.D. Lounge may be a larger crossover, while the I.D. AEROe could be a sporty hatchback of sorts.
Volkswagen may eventually add an electrical sedan to its I.D. range as well.
But, where does the reborn Microbus stand in all of this? It’s not clear yet.
The product roadmap confirms the I.D. Whirr will find its way to production, but the markets it will be sold in remain “to be determined.”

It seems more than likely the electrical Microbus will make its way to the U.S. since VW has shown numerous conceptual variations of the vehicle over the years.
Should the I.D. Whirr be confirmed for the U.S., that will make for three electrified Volkswagens.
But the emphasis remains on China; even however both China and the U.S. may receive three electrical cars, the timetable prioritizes foreign markets.
China and Europe will be graced with VW’s electrified vehicles much earlier than the U.S., according to the leaked product roadmap, and VW itself has said its very first high-volume electrified car must arrive by two thousand twenty with China stiffly in mind.
U.S. products arrive much later in the I.D. lineup’s life, with the I.D. Hum coming in two thousand twenty two at the earliest.
The broader scope paints an even greater electrified future for China; VW wants to have eight electrified cars on the market by 2025.

These goals won’t be met without a fair share of hurdles, however.
At the moment, battery supplies will not meet every automakers’ ambitious goals and VW believes major investments in fresh gigafactories will be needed.
It may be fair to say the Volkswagen brand itself will not rely strongly on electrical cars in the U.S. in the near future.
However, when looking at Audi’s future plans, Volkswagen Group’s luxury marque may carry the torch as an electrified car leader instead.
