New EV Crossover Designed to Meet the Needs of Budget Shoppers

While automakers like Tesla and BMW seem to be catering to customers from a higher tax bracket, Volkswagen AG (OTC: VWAGY) is committed to making electric vehicles that can be afforded by the average consumer.

Electric cars represent the next frontier of vehicular travel. They run on clean energy, have zero emissions, and are generally easy on the environment. Most developed countries plan to phase out internal combustion-engined vehicles in exchange for electric vehicles over the next decade, but one major hurdle they face is price.
