VW Acknowledges High Cost of ID. Buzz, New Platform May Cut Prices

Volkswagen’s chief executive has openly admitted that the electric ID. Buzz bus is too expensive to build. In a recent InsideEVs interview, he said a new platform could help bring the price down. While the company has not yet disclosed details of the platform, the implication is that a redesigned architecture could reduce manufacturing costs and make the electric bus more competitive in the market. The move reflects VW’s broader push to expand its electric vehicle lineup, though it remains unclear when or how the cost savings will be realized.
