Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche Shave off Costs of Developing EVs by Nearly a Third
"Using common platforms and aggregates from current products, the VW Group has reduced development costs by 30% across its planned electric vehicle portfolio. Audi is looking to price EVs at par with the models its offers with a turbodiesel engine. VW is looking to introduce the Golf-size EV model I.D. in Europe for under €30,000. Volkswagen has deployed a shared platform strategy for years on across its global line-up. This is how VW remains in the black even after incurring penalties over US$30 billion post-dieselgate. Tesla, with its limited and exclusive EV model range, doesn’t have such cost-sharing options." - Vinay Piparsania
