  "account": "Volkswagen has received over 30,000 orders for its fully electric ID. Polo, exceeding initial expectations, particularly in Germany. The car has been available for ordering since late April and is being produced at the company's Martorell plant in Spain. Due to high demand, customers are currently experiencing longer delivery times, but pre-configured vehicles can be purchased immediately from VW dealers. Over 100,000 pre-orders have been placed for the ID. Polo and its sister models, with VW aiming to tap into the electric entry-level segment with these vehicles.",
  "summary": "The ID. Polo is one of VW's hopes for the future. Along with three other models, it is supposed to conquer the segment of affordable electric cars. At the start, interest is high - with consequences for the delivery time.",
