Question 1

What battery warranty does a used Volkswagen ID.3 have?

Accepted Answer

Volkswagen covers the ID models' high-voltage battery for eight years, with a mileage limit, against its capacity falling below 70%. The cover runs from first registration, so check the date on the V5C.

Question 2

Is a used Volkswagen e-Golf worth buying?

Accepted Answer

It suits short commutes: it drives like any Golf, but its range is far shorter than an ID.3's and it charges more slowly. The 2017 update brought a bigger battery, so a later car goes noticeably further.

Question 3

How much road tax does a used electric Volkswagen pay?

Accepted Answer

An electric VW first registered from April 2017 to March 2025 pays £200 a year and never the supplement, and one registered before April 2017 pays £20. A car registered from April 2025 also pays the supplement in years two to six if its list price was over £50,000.

Question 4

Which new electric Volkswagens can you buy in the UK?

Accepted Answer

The ID. Polo with 116 to 211 PS, the ID.3 from 170 to 326 PS, the ID.4 and ID.5 SUVs, the ID.7 saloon and Tourer, the ID. Buzz and an electric Transporter. Batteries run from 37 kWh in the ID. Polo to 86 kWh in the ID.7 and ID. Buzz.
