Audi/VW has been dragging their feet bigtime on the EV movement and wasting a whole bunch of energy shoving money down the turbodiesel pipe.
In North America VW actually pulled their only hybrid from their lineup for 2017, in the middle of dieselgate when hundreds of thousands of TDI owners who bought their diesel for its fuel economy are looking for a replacement.
They have their e-tron line, and they _look_ nice but they are far inferior to other PHEVs, especially the Chevy Volt and pack only an 8kwh battery.
When I give up my TDI because of dieselgate next month or the month after VW has nothing to offer me.
