Volkswagen (OTC: VWAGY) was featured in a recent article on The Verge that discussed the automaker’s unveiling of its ID 4. The ID 4 is the first electric vehicle (“EV”) built on Volkswagen’s mass-manufactured modular electric vehicle platform (“MEB”) to be sold in the United States and described as “arguably the most important car to be released by VW in years.” According to the publication, the ID 4 will compete directly with Tesla Inc.’s (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model Y but is really taking aim at a market segment currently dominated by gas-powered vehicles, namely the compact SUV market. The article reads, “There are plenty of affordable EVs for sale today . . . But none of those vehicles are SUVs, the most popular vehicle type in the U.S. VW says the ID 4 has more potential to accelerate the mass adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. than any EV released to date — though if that doesn’t work out, the automaker will probably be satisfied with just selling a bunch of them. Currently, EVs make up around 3% of total car sales in the U.S., though that number is expected to rise as prices come down.”
