Volkswagen Feels Tesla Model 3 Will Be Too Expensive –

• insideevs.com by Eric Loveday

At the upcoming Paris Motor Show, Volkswagen claims that it will reveal a prototype of a long-range electric car that will eventually be sold for approximately the price of a conventional, gas-powered Golf.

That would put the price in the mid-$20,000 range, which Volkswagen points out is significantly lower than the Tesla Model 3's targetd price of $35,000.

According to VW, the planned electric car will have a 300-mile range (likely NEDC, so more like 200ish miles in the real world/EPA) and it will be able to charge in 15 minutes or so.

The car will reportedly be Golf-based, which likely means that it'll ride on the same MEB platform as the next-generation Golf, but the similarities may end there.
