VW ID Concept - All New EV
Hi,
VW is going to be showing an all new EV concept car they are calling the ID Concept:
VW shows renderings of ID electric-car concept for Paris Motor Show
It is ~15cm shorter than the Golf, but has a significantly longer wheelbase. They are saying 400-600km range for different battery packs - which is ~248-372 miles. Production is 2020 - which sounds realistic.

4 years out? How hard can it be to swap EV-drive train for ICE-drive train? Especially when the 'body' already exists in production?

How would that work, on an EV? The car has no emissions.

They already produce that car. It is called the E-Golf and goes 108 miles on a charge.
The ID is a clean sheet of paper design specifically designed to be electric. |

Since it is VW, it will be priced at $40k US more or less. My guess, $42k US. But, then again, considering that it has a range of more than 300 miles US, It really has no competition, except, perhaps a modified Tesla. So, maybe were are looking at $50k US or so. Snazzy car anyway. No range anxiety with this auto! Well, they won't be coming off lease until 2022 or so, plenty of time to save up.
