The electric vehicle (EV) landscape shifted significantly on March 15, 2021, and put Tesla on notice: be afraid, be very afraid. Why? Here comes Volkswagen, hard on its heels and giving buyers a solid reason to google “VW dealer near me” to get connected to the automaker that’s coming in hot with cutting-edge EV technology. […]
The first-ever Volkswagen all-electric compact crossover SUV carries an odd name, sounding more like a software iteration than a brand new model.
