Looks as if VW is finally trying different stuff in the US to try and increase market share. I hope this endeavor is well executed.

I got a feeling this will be a "urban off road mall crawler" Not for serious off roading.... I just cannot see this thing fording 4ft of water... and with no snorkel.

Most EV's charge when you go down hill. On a trail, slinging mud, or rock crawling, I do not see a EV out there.

Fossil fuels will come to an end. This picture is a part of a challenging transition and will eventually be replaced by an EV tow truck giving the stranded vehicle a 25 mile charge in less than 5 minutes.

Tires, plastics, fabrics, wiring, paint, lubricants, and other materials used directly or indirectly to manufacture electric vehicles are made from ... what exactly?

Petroleum will continue to be used as the base ingredient for those items, but as a fuel is being phased out. At least that's what almost every manufacturer is telling us their plans are.

Shame it’s not coming to the UK. They could build a dealer network Tesla style get rid of the middle man.
