Chatter

Just an odd 'demand' from Green Party's Habeck....he says VW ought to be able to build a electric car for 20,000 euros....then quoting him: “Your name is Volkswagen, not a luxury car.”

I thought over this.  I've sat in two E-cars (the Mini and E-Tron).....both were priced up in the 45k to 60k range. This was back in the 2019/2020 period.

The only rational way to get to a low-tech 20k Euro E-car?  Dump the options....basic radio.....no  AC.....no heated seats....and so on.

Would the 20k VW E-car interest me?  No.  I'm still not sold on the grid or cost factor of electricity.
