    It was just charging infrastructure and reasonable range designs that were needed all along?! Who could’ve seen that coming.

    The prices are just off the walls these days though. I want a california but will not spend 85k on it. Same with the ID7 tourer.

    “Gains in South America and Europe more than compensated for the expected declines in China and North America,” said Marco Schubert, member of the extended VW Group Management Board.

    In Germany, Volkswagen is a market leader with almost every second new electric car registered in Germany in the first half of the year from the company.

          That little front windows is adorable. It’s really cool how much innovation EVs brought but its yet to be widely available :(

            So I lived out of something like this for a bit:

            and what I love about that era of micro vans is the visibility. I feel like cannoo reall’got’ what it was that made those vans so special, and it’s that when you are travelling, you can see everything and it feels like you are really on tour.

            I was really bummed they went out of business.

      Then get an eqv / eVito? Or an e-spacetourer / e-traveller?
