    Western manufacturers keep seeing electric cars and electric bikes as specialist, luxury items. They are ignoring the obvious, that electric vehicles are the future of transport for everyone and they need to have models that fit all price ranges, including budget models.

    Ironic given the origins of Volkswagen, literally “people’s car”.

      If you mean “electric bikes”, I agree. We don’t need that many cars to function as a society. I am living in Germany, and never had a car - by choice.
