If I ever wanted a Kia Soul that screwed a golf cart, I'd probalby be all over that.

Let's just assume that I thought that Honda Element wannabe, why would I trust VW to make an electric motor for anything? They can't even make power windows that function for long.

Not sure why that damn thing is squinting either.

What a POS that is. At least the water bug look vaguely like a bug.

Also, how many times have they announced the "New Bus" in the last 20 years? It seems like it is a yearly thing.

Do you think EV manufacturers are taking advantage of the fact that gasoline propelled vehicle prices are out of sight? Let's see, if gasoline is $5.00/gallon and you drive 100,000 miles getting 25 mpg, the cost of fuel will be $20,000. We'll just price our EV $10,000 higher and it will look to the consumer like he's getting a deal.

As long as it has a tow hitch for towing a diesel generator so you can get to the store and back without having to be towed to the nearest charging station.
No thanks
