The money may have already been spent, but it still remains to be seen if VW is serious about EVs (I'm not saying they aren't). They are scrambling to get into the good graces of public perception and meet government requirements. Take their EA chargers for instance, they aren't particularly concerned with locating them in ideal spots, with making sure they work, assessing fair charging fees, etc. It's obvious they are begrudgingly dragged into the market rather than excited to pioneer it.
