Volkswagen ID 8

[NY_Rob]

Any word on the price for the ID.8?

Car and Driver is saying $45-$55K depending on trim level, but who knows at this point.

No... they are projecting closer to 5m/kWh...

365mi range/ 77-kilowatt-hour battery pack = 4.74m/kWh

I would be amazed if it got 230mi range (3m/kWh efficiency).

Even though the press release mentions Model X and Rivian, based on the 77kWh battery, the vehicle is most likely the same size or smaller than a Model Y rather than X/Rivian sized.

If it is Y sized, 365 mi is not out of line with what to expect from 77kWh in markets with easier range standards. But by EPA standards it will be <300 even if it is a smaller vehicle.
