Part 4/12:
Volkswagen has committed to launching a truly affordable electric car by 2026. However, skepticism remains, given the company's earlier statements. For instance, Volkswagen's strategy head Michael Yost has forecasted that an electric vehicle priced below €20,000 would debut by 2023 or 2024. Yet, the current concept being discussed is notably more expensive and still in development, raising questions about whether mass-market affordability will be achieved as soon as envisioned.
