Make small, affordable EVs. Range is a non-issue.
How is range a non issue?
The absolute majority of trips are short, combined with EV infrastructure getting better every day and still has lots of room to grow.
That’s true, but when people pay a fuck ton of money to buy a car, the expectation is that it will be able to handle longer trips as well. Sure, your every day may be to the supermarket and back, but you also want to load up the skis and go to the local mountain on the weekend, or to the beach in summer, meaning many hours driving in potentially very hot or cold weather - which affects the battery.
Doesn’t matter how good the EV infrastructure is, imho a car needs good range otherwise you might as well use public transport or ride a bike.
There’s overcapacity for cars in the world because the Chinese are fighting an internal price war due to overcapacity…, while at the same time no one has money to buy more expensive cars.
There is also just lower demand for cars.
Great to hear. The ID7 may be the game changer for VW after all
I think you might have misunderstood the headline.
Depends on the price. 120? Lol no
55? Aight
German electric car driver here.
VW has a bad reputation regarding EVs. Their butchered woke of their models so much, they went up in flames.
Other EVs seem to go better. BMW dominates the market for German EV I think
Just for context
