Volkswagen's plan to bounce back? 30 electric cars in 10 years
And speaking of the XL1, VW could design a gasoline burning, steel (or aluminum) version, and an all electric version, and sell it for an affordable price.
So, maybe this is the thing that salvages Edison2? VW is certainly more likely to work with Oliver Kuttner now, than they were last year.

Yes, I fully agree with this. VW will have to make a change and it may involve some of the lightweight concepts like the E2 in wheel suspension system. Looking forward to seeing what they do at this point (both VW and E2).
