  • Let's Give Volkswagen ID. Buzz A Chance — Exports to USA Resume - CleanTechnica

    The Volkswagen ID. Buzz faced a challenging launch in the US market, with disappointing sales partly due to timing and external factors. Deliveries began at the end of 2024, coinciding with uncertainty over the US EV tax credit and the looming threat of tariffs proposed by former President Trump. These issues, combined with a recall related to the rear seats being too wide and thus unsafe for three passengers as per US safety regulators, forced Volkswagen to halt exports of the model to the US while redesigning the seats. This recall significantly delayed the vehicle’s market entry and sales momentum. Recently, Volkswagen has resumed shipping the ID. Buzz to the US, aiming to accelerate sales before the September 30 deadline for the $7,500 EV tax credit, which is a critical incentive for buyers. However, challenges remain, including ongoing tariff uncertainties, production and delivery constraints, and limited marketing efforts. Despite these hurdles, there is cautious optimism that Volkswagen will push hard to move as many units as possible in the short
