From Battery Life.
Description
Why do I always drive Volkswagen EVs? In this video, I explain my honest reasons — from my first VW ID.3 back in 2020 to my current ID.7 and the upcoming ID.2 (ID. Polo).
It’s not about being a fanboy — it’s about comfort, driving feel, value, and supporting local manufacturing. I’ll take you through my EV journey, what impressed me most about the MEB platform, and why I think VW still offers one of the best driving experiences in its price range.
💡 In this video you’ll learn:
Why I bought the VW ID.3 as my first EV
How the ID.7 changed everything
Why I prefer VW over Tesla and others
What makes me excited about the ID.2 / ID. Polo
My thoughts on comfort, software, and affordability
