On June 2nd, Volkswagen ID.Buzz was reported to have issues with its power battery, which occurred shortly after the start of production.

After only 25 days, Volkswagen admitted that the power battery of ID.Buzz had low performance and shorter range due to the module failure of a new supplier.

According to Volkswagen, this supplier has not been disclosed or used by other products. Therefore, other MEB models of Volkswagen have no problems.

Till now, Volkswagen has only produced about 500 units of ID.Buzz for internal testing and has not yet delivered them to customers, which means that the quality issue of the battery could be resolved internally.

The battery modules of Volkswagen’s MEB platform are standardized, and the new battery supplier tested on ID.Buzz is likely to be used on other MEB models in the future after being tested.

In early July, Volkswagen announced that the battery module issue of ID.Buzz has been resolved, and production in the Hannover factory in Germany has resumed.

The one-week production pause has reduced the output capacity of ID.Buzz by about 200 units. Currently, the Hannover factory produces 45 units per day, which will increase to 180 units in the future. Despite the unexpected shutdown, Volkswagen officially stated that ID.Buzz would be delivered in October.

As for the Chinese market, Volkswagen Import has recently introduced the Multivan T7 and the 8th-generation Golf R to China, which may be sold through parallel imports. In the future, ID.Buzz may also come to China in the same way.🔗Source: insideevs
