Among Volkswagen's most talked about EV vehicles, the 2023 ID.4 is getting a price increase. Volkswagen already has a series of EV vehicles like that of Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and even an ID.7 that just launched. The ID.4 is the second model of the Volkswagen ID. series.
According to Electrek, the website that got hold of an official email sent out by Volkswagen to ID.4 reservation holders detailing a series of changes that will be made for all ID.4s assembled after January 4, including a price hike, battery supplier changes, and an end to the reservation system as VW predicts ample availability at dealerships.
For starters, all 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 SUVs assembled on January 4 or later will get a $1,500 price hike, meaning that the base ID.4 Standard now starts at $38,995 (excluding a $1,295 destination charge). Vehicles assembled prior to that date will retain the old MSRP. While Volkswagen won't update its website until January 4, it sent reservation holders a list with the new MSRPs for all trim levels.

VW already increased prices on the 2023 ID.4 by about $1,500 across the board back in August. But good news is VW is estimating an increase in the availability of the vehicles. Part of the reason for this increased availability is because of a change in battery suppliers. Previous ID.4 model years used LG batteries, though the 2023 model was going to switch to SK batteries
VW is also contracting for battery supply from both SK Innovation and LG Chem, specifically for RWD vehicles with the larger 82kWh “Pro” pack. From now on, any given RWD 82kWh ID.4 may have a battery from either LG or SK. AWD cars and 62kWh “Standard” and “S'' trims will have SK-supplied batteries.
VW says that you can find out who supplied the battery for your vehicle by looking at the Monroney label affixed to every car or by logging into your My ID.4 Reservation account. There is also an FAQ there with additional answers.
The VW letter said the automaker would end the ID.4 reservation system on January 4 now that it expects enough production for dealers to begin receiving inventory units in the near future. However the existing reservation accounts will stay unchanged.
