VW's promising, mid-size electric sedan won't make it stateside as VW focuses its EV strategy efforts elsewhere.

Volkswagen pointed to a 'challenging EV climate' as the reason why its electric sedan will no longer come to the U.S. and Canada.

Plans to bring the Volkswagen ID.7 midsize sedan to the North American market, including the U.S. and Canada, have just been permanently canceled by Wolfsburg.

The ID.7 was originally slated to go on sale in the U.S. at some point in 2024, but VW announced an indefinite delay in May of last year. There was no targeted on-sale date provided last year, which makes its complete cancellation less surprising now.

The electric family sedan's tumultuous launch process ultimately ends with VW deciding not to sell it on this side of the pond.
