> GM seems to get it. Chevrolet is shipping Chevy Bolts to dealers right now.
All the German car makers are also shipping electric versions of their cars, just no one wants an electric Golf or up!.
> They have all that investment in the technology of making precision power machinery. But electric motors just aren't that complicated mechanically. Their edge over China disappears.
This is something that can be combined with a lot of other tech – there’s so much technology that can be precision-produced.
Speak for yourself. I have 28k miles on my e-Golf and I think it's a great car!
The problem is most people are shocked SHOCKED, when I tell that it's fully electric. They've never heard of such a thing until I told them because VW doesn't actually want people to buy the e-Golf, not the other way around. I still have yet to see an extensive tv or billboard campaign for the e-Golf. It's a compliance car and VW is only selling it because they have to.
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my perfectly capable and affordable electric car.
