In this episode of the VWD Talk Podcast, we sit down with Chris from @batterylife to discuss the full spectrum of Volkswagen’s electric future. Chris shares his honest long-term review of the ID.7 after two years of ownership—is it really the “pinnacle” of the MEB platform?
We also geek out over the upcoming VW ID.Polo (formerly ID.2). From the return of physical buttons and four window switches (finally!) to the new “retro” design and front-wheel-drive platform, we cover everything you need to know about VW’s €25k entry-level EV.
Topics Covered: * Chris’s 2-year experience with the VW ID.7 (Efficiency & Comfort) * Why the ID.7 beats the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and Mini Cooper E * Deep dive into the ID.Polo: New battery tech, Android Automotive, and the return of buttons * The “Retro” design philosophy: Is it just an electric Polo/Golf?
