VW opens preorders for the ID.3, its first long-range electric car

The ID.3 will be the first car built on the Volkswagen Group’s “modular electric toolkit” or “MEB” — a technological platform for EVs that includes the battery pack and motor. Volkswagen Group plans to use the modular MEB platform to power a wide variety of electric cars for basically every brand under its roof, from VW to Audi to Porsche. Volkswagen’s modular EV platform is supposed to power millions of cars — and help the company move on from Dieselgate

The MEB platform is meant to be the foundation for the Volkswagen Group’s target of making 22 million electric cars in the next decade.
