That's kind of a curious statement. I see them making announcements about things they "plan" to do in 2-5 years, but outwardly it looks like they are still just ICE car companies that are at most dabbling in the space hoping the whole thing blows over. BMW seems to be taking it the most seriously, but really the i3 is just a LEAF-class entry with a few attempts at advancing the technology.lorenfb said:You have access to Audi/BMW/MB key product plans, right? They are not like Tesla with product announcements.
I can tell you this, I have no interest in another EV that can't make regional road trips, and consider a few chargers here and there at dealers that may be behind closed gates after hours a totally unacceptable solution. I'll limp along with el cheapo gas cars until I can get a Tesla for that reason alone.
Maybe five years from now Audi/BMW/MB will unleash a torrent of compelling EVs produced in massive volumes and collaborate to build out a comprehensive CCS network of stations in convenient road trip locations and totally squash Tesla. Personally I'd give that about the same odds as Nokia rising from the ashes and squashing Apple.
