You can buy a VW e-golf since at least 2015. It's a great car, but by no means a Tesla competitor. It retails for close to $30k, I got mine for under $20k after the federal rebate.

IIRC, VW only really got into the electric car game as a condition of their emissions cheating settlement. FWIW.

GM and Ford made EVs in the 90's to satisfy California. It didn't do them much good on the technology front.

GM made an electric car. People liked it. For whatever reason GM decided to stop selling them and crushed all the cars. Mainly because the laws changed saying they didn't have to lower emissions.Also gas was super cheap. There is a great doc called who killed the electic car.
