VW ditches electric-only strategy

PHEV's make the most sense. Benefit from EV mode in town and fuel mode on the highways long distance. Recuperate energy when braking. Thereby reducing emissions by 50% +. Isn't that the goal?
 
I miss the good old days of diesel hatchbacks.

I saw the notification that you had quoted my post and thought I was going to have to endure you trying to wreck German cars like you are doing to Chinese cars :oops: I am pleasantly surprised that you have a mild fetish for soot monsters like I do.

Oh I love diesel, if it were up to me every car would have a diesel engine as an option. You must be confusing me with Greta.

Here is the reality: you need one small technological breakthrough, and one economic one and EVs are redundant.
1) Industrialisation of CO2 to liquid fuel.

2) Widespread adoption and standardisation of nuclear energy to power the process.

This effectively turns every single ICE currently on the road into a nuclear-powered vehicle that is carbon neutral and has the same performance, range and reliability we currently have.
