What have you heard ? My lease expires in 6 months and I have nothing 100% electric lined up...
VW doesn't even have a 2018 E-golf here, the bolt has range but is ugly, the Nissan is ugly, the I8 is ugly, the Audi is gonna be 75K minimum... If anyone did something like an E-GTi I'd be in as a beater. Right now my best propect is a Jag E-pace and they are also too pricey for a beater.
Profit: I don't know.. I assume that a group like VW that shares platforms might be able to line up economies of scale Tesla cannot touch, and panel gaps that don't let sunlight in. Batteries though, might be expensive no matter what... I'm genuinely puzzled it's taking this long when Tesla proved the viability of the cars in 2012, I would think at 35-45K 250 w/miles and "that acceleration", there would be a big market...
