Volkswagen Electric Technology

The race toward electrification is on — but at Volkswagen Popular, we’ve already taken the lead. From the pioneering e-Golf to today’s ID.4 and ID.Buzz, Volkswagen has transformed electric mobility into a true engineering revolution.

Electrification isn’t just a passing trend; it’s a movement redefining how we drive, recharge, and experience the road. Volkswagen stands at the forefront of this change with:

• a fully electric platform designed from the ground up;

• a smooth, quiet, and intelligent driving experience;

• and a clear commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050, as part of our Way to Zero vision.

What makes Volkswagen different

Engineering built for Canadian conditions

Unlike many automakers, Volkswagen didn’t adapt an existing gas platform — it built a brand-new one, engineered exclusively for electric vehicles.

The result: perfect weight distribution, exceptional stability, and impressive efficiency — even when winter takes hold.

The heat pump: more range, less energy

At the heart of this efficiency lies Volkswagen’s heat pump technology.
By recovering heat generated by the vehicle’s components, the system warms the cabin without draining the battery.

In Canada’s demanding climate, that means preserved range and consistent comfort. Less energy consumed, more kilometres driven — a real-world advantage that makes a difference every day.

The MEB platform: the foundation of the ID. family

Every model in the ID. lineup is built on Volkswagen’s modular electric drive matrix (MEB).
This dedicated structure lowers the centre of gravity, improves handling, and maximizes interior space.

Every element — from the battery to the motor — has been optimized for balance, performance, and reliability, delivering the unmistakable feel of German engineering.

Fast charging and intelligent energy management

Thanks to DC fast-charging, ID. models can charge from 10 % to 80 % in about 30 minutes.
A smart thermal management system keeps the battery at the right temperature, ensuring faster charging and extending its lifespan.

Volkswagen is also part of the expanding Electrify Canada network — making long-distance travel easier and more convenient across the country.

Software that evolves with you

Every ID. vehicle is equipped with Over-the-Air updates, meaning your Volkswagen keeps improving over time.

Performance, features, and security systems are continually refined, ensuring your car stays as advanced as the day you bought it — and beyond.

Volkswagen’s flagship electric models

Volkswagen ID.4

The Volkswagen ID.4 represents the perfect balance of range, design, and versatility.
With up to 450 km of range, available all-wheel drive, and a spacious interior, it’s the electric SUV designed for Canadian life.

A low centre of gravity and instant torque redefine what driving pleasure feels like.
