# Volkswagen setzt Entwicklung des elektrischen ID Golf aus

> Volkswagen hat die Entwicklung des elektrischen ID Golf aus finanziellen Gründen eingestellt, im Rahmen einer Kürzung der Ausgaben für künftige Modelle, wobei ein Start weiterhin für den Beginn der 2030er Jahre angekündigt ist. Der Hersteller präzisiert zudem die bestätigten Informationen zu seinem zukünftigen kleinen Elektroauto zum Preis von 20.000 Euro und grenzt offizielle Ankündigungen von Spekulationen ab.
