Note point 5:
> 5./ Allow VW some flexibility in the execution and timing of this plan by allowing it to be implemented via zero emission vehicle credits.
Which, together with the rest of the requests actually means:
> Force VW to pay a lot of money to an existing EV manuctarurer.
- kuschku 11y agoWhich, together with the rest, means: > Force VW to pay Tesla, instead of producing its own vehicles. (VW is already killing its "efficient Diesel" program, and instead focusing on EVs)
- _ph_ 11y agoI have seen nothing tangible so far that shows that VW is backing off Diesel cars - perhaps they cancelled their marketing campaign in the US. I would very much like them to focus on EVs, but whether they do remains to be seen. (A very good indicator for that would be that they start building charging infrastructure and introduce some vehicles with more than 100 miles range...)

- _ph_ 11y agoBeing from Germany and a Volkswagen owner, I believe it, when they show some real actions, not only declare to focus on EVs. I would be very happy if they do - my next car is electric for sure - but they got to show first.
