New names for Volkswagen's electric models

For some time now, Volkswagen has needed to face reality to understand one fundamental thing: the world does not want cars that resemble firmware updates. The era of the ID, with its references to models like the ID.3 or the ID.4, is soon coming to an end, and it's high time to put an end to this masquerade. Even before Deutsche Bahn decides to rename its trains "snail speed," VW is preparing to sweep away this alien-like nomenclature in favor of names that recall a bit of the automotive culture that allowed them to become what they are today. After all, who can seriously get excited about a Voltaïk or an E-Globe?

End of the ID: a return to the roots

In an interview with the magazine Auto und Wirtschaft, Martin Sander, a prominent member of VW's board, triumphantly proclaimed that future electric models will no longer bear these deplorable alphanumeric names. The Germans have finally decided to regain common sense and give electric cars names that have real meaning. Goodbye to the ID.2 and ID. EVERY1, and hello to true appellations. Who would have thought we would live long enough to see the end of an era where cars fancied themselves battle robots from a B-movie?

The new heroes of the road

When we worry about the future of electric cars, it is more than time to humanize them. Names like Électra or Ampéris could resonate like a sweet reminder that these vehicles are made to be driven by ordinary people, not engineers from Mars. After all, everyday cars should have names that evoke emotions, a story. Why not names that inspire trust? NovaVolt, Zephyra, or even Orion E, these appellations infuse a certain majesty to a lineup that had, let’s face it, taken a rather dull turn.

And what about the stylistic innovations that go hand in hand with these new labels? Volkswagen has a golden opportunity to refresh its image by shedding the somewhat cheap label of ID, which sounds like a disco band. It's nice to be at the forefront of electrification, but when emotion and history are sacrificed on the altar of modernity, one can only grit their teeth.

A necessary turning point for electric identity

Inevitably, one finds oneself wondering which names are truly worthy of carrying the flame of the electric future. Perhaps the first VW electric to bear a more evocative name, originally scheduled for 2026, will mark the rebirth of the great manufacturer. Car enthusiasts nostalgically remember iconic models like the Fiesta and the Golf, and it is this nostalgia that can inject a bit of spice into the electric lineup.

One might assume that these changes are just details, but in 2025, as consciousness shifts towards more mindful and ethical driving - the famous eco-driving - the choice of names will play a fundamental role. In other words, cars must now communicate a story and value, and not just be part of a boring list of alphanumerics. Who will remember these code names? No one, unless they are marked by the sadness of oblivion.

In conclusion, Volkswagen's revival, under the soothing patronage of names like LumiVolt or Voltige, could be the breath of fresh air the automotive world needed. After all, everyone deserves a car whose name does not resemble a beta version. After seeing the deadlock the brand found itself in, we have every right to applaud this salvatory change which, who knows, could reinvent the image of this German icon for generations to come.
