Anyone ordering a new Volkswagen electric vehicle between now and March 3 this year will receive a £1,000 saving.

The £1k saving is available to anyone ordering a new ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.7, ID.7 Tourer or ID. Buzz, and applies whether they are paying cash or using finance from Volkswagen Financial Services.

People choosing to buy an electric Volkswagen with a personal contract plan (PCP) from Volkswagen Financial Services currently receive generous deposit contributions. These range from £1,700 for an ID.7 or ID.7 Tourer to £8,900 for an ID.5 – so customers ordering a new ID.5 on a PCP by 3 March, for example, save themselves almost £10,000 in total.

David Hanna, Head of Network Sales at Volkswagen UK, said: “We are really excited to offer this £1,000 saving to customers. We know lots of people are thinking hard about swapping their petrol and diesel cars for an electric alternative. We hope this offer helps to dispel any concerns they might have about affordability and persuades them that an award-winning electric Volkswagen is the best possible choice.”

Customers ordering any of Volkswagen’s fully electric ID. models can choose between a free Ohme car charger for their homes or £500 of We Charge credit for use at public charge points.

There’s also a money-saving tariff add-on and free charging offer from OVO, Volkswagen UK’s official energy partner. OVO’s Charge Anytime can be added to any of its tariffs and lets people charge their electric cars at home for just 7p per KwH at any time, day or night. Alongside this, OVO is offering credit worth up to 10,000 free miles to anyone ordering a new electric VW by March 31, plus credit worth up to 1,000 free miles on their contract anniversaries for three years.

Full terms and conditions for all current Volkswagen offers are available online and from any Volkswagen UK Retailer.
