That VW makes another claim

Beware of tweaked kWh numbers...

VW's new 'Think New' slogan means the new MEB (Modularer Elektrobaukasten) platform. German acronym for Modular Electric Model line-up. The platform is built around a battery pack in between its wheelbase. The target range is 600 km (373 miles). https://twitter.com/MR_AndrewBrady/s...568064/photo/1

Another yuuuge target, expecting 2-3 million VW Group EVs by the year 2025! The new 'E-Golf' will be ready at the end of 2019 as a 2020 year model. Will be teased at the 2016 Paris Auto Show on October 1.

The Golf-sized electric VW will launch at the Paris show later this month with a range of 250 miles on the NEDC cycle — the equivalent of 400km — around 90 miles more than typical in todays affordable electric cars. ‘A range of 400km is fine for normal life,’ says Senger

From an earlier article:

Quote:

... the car will have the exterior dimensions of a Golf but the same interior space as a Passat. Following the car's debut as a prototype at the Paris motor show, it should be launched officially in late 2018 or early 2019.

Comparable range and size to the Chevy Bolt but arriving later.
I wonder whether it will resemble the Golf shaped concept drawing or what of the Transporter like Budd-e will filter through.

If they built a 4 seat version of the XL1 with a electric drivetrain, that would be great.

Probably the cleanest (figuratively), most attractive and non-quirky EV design yet. VW, now put those diesels away and make great EVs.

Tesla-like clean nose and a latent smile. You guys can still plug in a boattail or even rig some 'plasma actuator' spoilers.

Those roof discs are probably perimeter sensors/equipment for autonomous autopilot driving/riding.

Diesels have their place.

The volt for example would get nearly double the city "fuel economy" with a diesel range extender.

Perhaps laws need to be modified to allow special use vehicles, box be damned.
XL1 is a great example of a car that should be pollution exempt
