EVERYTHING ABOUT CAR

An Autocar op-ed says the ID.3 may be too late, but what about massive production numbers? In September 2019, we published an article comparing the VW ID.3 with the Renault K-ZE  to check which one would be the EV for the masses. At that point, we still did not realize something an article at  Autocar  reminded us of: the electric  Volkswagen  is neither the cheapest nor the more efficient EV on the market. It also does not lead in terms of technology. How, then, will VW make it become the electric Beetle? The answer to that is scale.

And we must admit, the video does look like tremendous fun.
