Why pick the VW ID.4 instead of a Tesla Model 3, which is a much more common electric car to own? Fast chargers for it are much more common and charge 0-80% in about 20 minutes.

- awillen 4y agoSure, but we're talking about general adoption of EVs here, so it's more appropriate to use the much more highly adopted example than one that's relatively uncommon.
- orangepurple 4y agoThe VWs will be mass adopted in Europe when production ramps up and protectionist policies which punish Tesla will be implemented when VW is threatened. It's business as usual in Europe. That's why I use VW as an example. It's what Europeans will drive when they go hard on electric. When it comes to cars VW is "Europe, Inc." and resistance is futile. I jest. Many European megacorporations also offer electric cars as a job perk because personal car ownership is heavily taxed in many countries. The megacorps will choose home market manufacturers run by their friends preferentially.
