VW is recalling 1,710 electric cars, including taxi models
Volkswagen is recalling 1,710 electric cars in the Netherlands due to fire risk, with a temporary charging restriction of up to 80 percent.
Volkswagen is recalling 1,710 electric cars in the Netherlands due to a possible fire risk in the battery, reports TaxiPro. This includes the models ID.3, ID.4, ID.7 and ID.Buzz. Depending on the recall, the affected vehicles will be subject to a temporary charging restriction or a battery check.
The models mentioned are also used in taxi transport. A charging limitation of up to 80 percent means less range per full charge for taxi operators, which can have consequences for the planning of trips and charging moments during a service.
What does this mean for you?
VindTaxi drives a Nissan Ariya itself and is therefore not affected by this Volkswagen recall. Nothing will change for customers who join us: the services and journey planning remain unchanged.
