Volkswagen’s New Electric Vehicle

With the issues of climate change and massive amounts of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere, Volkswagen decided to make an inexpensive electric car that many people can own. Starting at approximately $30,000 (O’Kane, theverge.com), this car is meant to be a transition into the future of non-gasoline vehicles.

There are also other benefits to this vehicle compared to other cars with a gasoline engine. O’Kane states that, “By removing the internal combustion engine…the automaker is able to extend the cabin forward, thus freeing up previously inaccessible space to the company’s designers” (O’Kane, theverge.com). This means that there is more room in the vehicle itself for the passengers.

With competitors such as Tesla, Volkswagen may have a difficult time selling this vehicle to a wide range of people around the globe. In my opinion, with the cheaper price as well, Volkswagen may have a serious competitor for other companies’ electric vehicles.
