VW Eyes Halving Its EV Lineup by 2030, Reports Say
TL;DR
Volkswagen is reportedly planning to cut its global model lineup by as much as 50% by 2030 as part of cost‑cutting, with around 10 models allegedly being axed per Bild via Motor1, including the Jetta and Taos and potentially several Porsche and Audi models (Taycan, 718, Q5 Sportback, Q6 E‑Tron Sportback), along with Skoda Fabia and Cupra Raval. The move signals a shift toward a smaller slate of mass‑market EVs (ID. family) while phasing out older models, though VW has not officially confirmed the specifics.
