# Volkswagen setzt die Entwicklung des elektrischen ID Golf aus

> Volkswagen hat die Entwicklung des elektrischen ID Golf aus finanziellen Gründen unterbrochen, im Zusammenhang mit der Kürzung der Ausgaben für zukünftige Modelle; der Marktstart bleibt für Anfang der 2030er Jahre geplant. Der Hersteller hat zudem den Stand seines Projekts für einen kleinen Elektro-Stadtwagen für etwa 20.000 Euro präzisiert und dabei bestätigte Elemente von Preisspekulationen unterschieden. Diese Informationen gelten für alle Märkte, wobei die bereitgestellten Unterereignisse auf Deutschland ausgerichtet sind. Die italienische und amerikanische Berichterstattung zeigt in den verfügbaren Elementen keine nationalen Unterschiede auf.
