VW ID.Buzz Details, Expansion of Tesla’s Supercharger Network, and Updates from Vinfast and Sony: Highlights in Today’s Automotive News
Tesla is planning to expand its Supercharger network despite having recently let go of many employees who were instrumental in this growth. Vinfast introduces a fresh entertainment interface by Sony. Meanwhile, Volkswagen provides more clarity on the U.S. sales strategy for its ID.Buzz vans, although pricing remains undisclosed. Stay tuned for more at Green Car Reports.
Volkswagen has announced the standard features and trim options for its 2025 VW ID.Buzz electric vans destined for the U.S. market. However, details on pricing and EPA range estimates will likely be released closer to the delivery date of these models. The American version will include a variety of colors and interior options for the extended three-row ID.Buzz models.
Tesla plans to expand its Supercharger network significantly in 2024, adding thousands of new charging stations, according to CEO Elon Musk. This expansion is planned despite recent layoffs that eliminated most of the team responsible for the network. Musk stated on X that the company will invest more than $500 million in the Supercharger network this year alone, not including operating expenses.
Sony’s latest car entertainment application made its global premiere in the Vinfast VF 8 electric SUV, as revealed by the Vietnamese car manufacturer on Friday. Initially, Vinfast will provide this new service, named Ridevu, free of charge, featuring a collection of movies and streaming capabilities for other devices in the vehicle. This interface offers a sneak peek into what to expect from Sony’s forthcoming Afeela electric vehicle, developed in collaboration with Honda.
