Volkswagen (VW) confident of achieving genuine EV scale
Revamped VW e-Golf to be available for sale towards end of 2016 or early 2017
Volkswagen (VW) has expressed confidence that it can overtake its competitors in developing electric vehicle (EV) technology. "The MEB platform toolkit gives us the perfect opportunity to gain scale by using the platform solution in as many ways as possible... If we can achieve scale then all sorts of things will become open to us, from reduced costs to faster R&D," VW's technical development head Frank Welsch was quoted as saying by Autocar. Welsch also disclosed that a revamped VW e-Golf will be available for sale towards the end of the year or early next year. The revamped vehicle will feature an electric range of 186 miles, up from the 118 miles the current model offers.
