Volkswagen are doing well in electric motorsport:

- Audi is already in Formula E: https://www.audi.com/en/experience-audi/audi-sport/audi-raci...

Volkswagen is investing a lot in electrics. They're doing it to clean up their image from the diesel emissions scandal, to meet the new emissions standards being set by the EU and others, and to avoid being locked out of markets which have already set timetables for banning ICE cars (like Norway and the city of Paris).

Please, you're acting like an employee of their marketing department. Your rabid enthusiasm is not interesting. They're a car company that wants to be successful, not a sports team. Still, good luck to them—and maybe I might even consider an electric VW in the future—but it'll be a while before their reputation is repaired.

(And thankfully their EVs won't have their junky and jerky DSG transmissions...so that's another plus.)

Nope. I'm just across the issues and the state of play more than you are.
