Moi3-eu-vw [ 2025 ]

MOI3-EU-VW is not the end. The EU is already drafting MOI4 (expected 2028), which deals with generative AI in the cockpit. VW’s recent partnership with Cerence for a ChatGPT-based assistant is contingent on the assistant being "MOI4-ready."

Volkswagen has established a dedicated MOI Competence Center in Ingolstadt (shared with Audi). Their goal:

However, the cost has not been passed entirely to consumers. VW has warned that the average price of its EU-sold EVs may rise by €1,000 to €1,500 due to MOI3-mandated local sourcing. In response, the EU has offered a "Green Investment Subsidy" that rebates up to 20% of compliance costs—but only for models that exceed MOI3 standards by at least 10%.
