The California app will incorporate suitable charging stations along the route to facilitate travel planning. and the ID. The California Cruise will be able to operate as a mobile power source with a continuous power of 2 kW and a peak of 3.6 kW.
Volkswagen has not yet revealed what the autonomy of this new electric car will be. What he confirmed is that the first deliveries are scheduled for early 2027, when a new stage for California will officially begin.
