VW has officially announced they will not build an electric Beetle now or anytime.
According to a Motortrend interview with Herbert Diess
, CEO of Volkswagen Group, the direct answer to whether or not the company plans an electric Beetle is “No. You have to do something emotional, but I think we can't cover the historic lineup of Volkswagen with electric cars, and we shouldn't.”And it's not just the electric Beetle Volkswagen's putting the kibosh on - the Bug itself is history at the end of this year.
Despite the lack of road respect, the new Bug excelled on its clever and solid design and a relatively cheap price. It was also a boon to the big and tall; an extra-extra-large pal bought one two years ago and still swears by its ease of entrance and exit. The crux of this bombshell news comes on the heels of the Geneva motor show, where Diess revealed the imminent arrival of an electric Volkswagen microbus in collab0ration with e.Go Mobile, a German startup building VW's “I.D. Buggy.”Fans of the Beetle can console themselves knowing that this year marks the debut of Volkswagen's I test drive and review cars, trucks, motorcycles and all manner of machines, anywhere they are - USA, Europe, Asia, The Bronx.
