Volkswagen inadvertently posted a press release on its website a month early on Monday announcing a new name for its U.S. operations, 'VOLTSWAGEN OF AMERICA.' Company spokespersons confirmed the authenticity but have declined to comment on the release, supposed to launch on April 29 date. Expected to take effect in May 2021, it was to bring the brand future-forward totally into E-mobility. They will preserve the iconic and historic 'VW' emblem only but will use light blue color and light blue lighting to differentiate its EV-centric brand vehicles. 'Voltswagen of America' will be an operating unit within the Volkswagen Group of America and subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. Just in time, GM just discontinued the plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt in 2019 and its all-electric Chevy Bolt EV sales down when the tax credit phase completely ended.
