Climate change
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Volkswagen is developing a pure electric fleet as part of our vision to cut CO2 emissions and create a sustainable future.
Battery recycling
We have designed our batteries to have a very long life. When they are no longer required, we have sophisticated processes to reuse, remanufacture and safely recycle them.
Energy storage on four wheels
We are working on smart energy management so our vehicles charge when energy from renewable sources is plentiful and can even discharge energy back to help meet short supply.
Brake energy recuperation
When electric vehicles brake, the battery is recharged. This is just one way in which your ID.3 uses energy sustainably, to make it smarter and more efficient.

Raw material recovery through recycling: what happens to the ID. battery?
Electric mobility makes locally CO2-free driving possible. However, it only becomes more sustainable overall if it also relies on sustainable solutions in battery production.
