“Our future is in efficient and ‘connected,’” said Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess as he introduced his company's battery-electric product future at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.

The VW I.D. Concept, with a claimed range of up to 373 mi (600 km) on a single charge, heralds a blitz of new electrified vehicles based on the company's new MEB modular platform dedicated to battery-electric models. A production version of the I.D. is planned for 2020, Diess said, with an autonomous version following by 2025. Diess compared the new BEV to the original VW Beetle, promising “it will be a real people's car” priced about the same as today's Golf.
