Volkswagen announced on Monday a cheaper version of its ID.4 electric vehicle is coming soon.
The cheaper ID.4 will have a smaller 62 kWh battery, 24% smaller than the 82 kWh battery found in the current vehicle with 275 miles of EPA range.

The cheaper ID.4 may be priced below $40,000 USD and a base price in the mid-$30,000 USD range looks to be possible.
