Car Manufacturer Volkwagen (VW) extends an invite for customer-centered proposals.
The German automaker Volkswagen has announced an extension of the sales discount for its electric ID models, giving customers more time to take advantage of the offer. The deadline for purchase or lease and delivery to qualify for the discount and federal credits has been extended to September 30, 2025 [1][3].
The extended deadline aligns with the expiration of the Clean Vehicle Credit, a federal incentive aimed at promoting the adoption of electric vehicles. However, it's worth noting that no specific ID models have been identified as excluded from the discount. Eligibility for federal tax credits depends on vehicle price caps and IRS qualification criteria that individual vehicles must meet [3].
The ID Buzz Pure is currently available from 399 euros per month, representing a 100 euro decrease from the last quarter. The ID.3 remains the cheapest model in the ID series. Meanwhile, the ID Buzz is not covered by the VW premium and is marketed via Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles [2].
Instead of a discount, there is a leasing offer for the ID Buzz. The ID models are currently the best-selling electric cars in Germany, with the ID.7 at the top of the sales chart, outperforming its competitors [4].
The success of the ID models can be attributed to Volkswagen's strategy in the competitive electric car market. Decreasing subsidies and increasing competition from China pose challenges, but Volkswagen is aiming to boost sales of electric vehicles [5].
The extension of the discount may be a response to the competitive electric car market. It's a surprise decision by Volkswagen, as many had expected the discount to end in March 2025. However, the extended discount does not affect the previously set deadline of June 2025 [6].
The discount offers up to 6,000 euros off on the ID models from Volkswagen. The VW ID.3 continues to have a high price discount of 3,500 euros. In combination with the already reduced list prices, the entry-level price of the ID 3 Pure falls to 29,830 euros [2].
It's recommended to check with Volkswagen dealers or the IRS list for exact model eligibility. This article was partly created with machine support and carefully checked by the editorial team before publication.

The extended sales discount for Volkswagen's ID models aligns with the expiration of the federal Clean Vehicle Credit, a testament to the company's commitment to promoting electric vehicles. Despite the ID Buzz not being covered by the VW premium, it's the current best-selling electric car in Germany, indicating that technology, finance, and the industry are vital components of Volkswagen's success in the electric car market.
