Even though most developed governments have introduced federal tax relief to make EVs more affordable, they are still too high priced for a large chunk of the population. 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. Volkswagen’s generation of affordable EVs, denoted by names starting with “ID”, allows customers who traditionally wouldn’t have been able to afford an…

Electric vehicles are poised to take over internal combustion-engine vehicles over the next decade in a bid to cut our reliance on carbon-based energy and reduce our impact on the planet.
