VW has initiated a remarkable transformation in the wake of the Dieselgate scandal. Shaken to the core by the emissions cheating scandal of its own making, the world’s largest carmaker has embraced electric mobility more vigorously than any other major auto company under its latest CEO, Herbert Diess. VW’s first fully electric car aimed at the mass market will be presented at the Frankfurt car show in September, according to Cleanenergywire.

Deliveries will start in 2020, and initial sales will provide a first hint of whether the company’s massive bet on battery-electric mobility will pay off. Some critics remain unconvinced, however, and warn that VW’s actions do not yet match its sustainability commitments.
