- shereadsthenews 7y agoAnd it has been in production for years. I think they sold only 1400 of them in 2018.
- batbomb 7y agoIf they only sold 1400 of them, then more than 10% of them must drive on the 280 every day.
- greglindahl 7y agoIt's a "compliance car" intended to meet California EV sales minimums. So yes, you see more of them on 280 than you might expect from the total US sales.
- izacus 7y agoCleanTechnica reports that VW sold 10.000 eGolfs in EU in 2018 Q1 + Q2, so that claim of "1400" sounds very very wrong. According to Wiki they sold 30k vehicles at minimum before 2018. Nowhere near Tesla 3 numbers, but claiming that it only sold 1400 vehicles is just wrong.
- shereadsthenews 7y agoThey sold approximately 4000 in each of the three years prior to 2018, in the USA. I didn't say they sold 1400 through 2018, I said 1400 in 2018. These numbers come from InsideEVs.
- magicalhippo 7y agoLast year they sold about 7200 to Norway alone[1]. They apparently had low production capacity but is ramping up and expects to sell over 10k in Norway this year.
