VW reveals electric concept

Volkswagen has signaled its commitment to the electric car market with a new concept model.

The new ID electric car concept has a 373-mile range and can even drive itself. VW has based the car on its new Modular Electric Drive (MEB) architecture.

Measuring the same size as a Golf and with a five-door hatchback, but there is where the similarities ends.

Fitted with a retracting steering wheel and an automated driving function called ID Pilot means deliveries can be made – without the need to even get in the vehicle.

Volkswagen believe the car will be put into production from 2020, with its full autonomous capabilities available from 2025.
