Just watched a review of the iD4 by Jason of Engineering Explained and while the car review was of interest, one thing really caught my attention - may well be common knowledge but it was new to me. Anyhoo, as part of their reparations for Dieselgate, VW had to spend $2bn building an America-wide charging network for the use of all. It's not free to all, but it's there and is getting to be almost as big as the Tesla Supercharger network apparently.
It is free charging for the first 3 years of the VW ownership - more details in the video.
But to my point....why haven't we got VW doing something similar here as well?? As in, fronting some serious cash to build up the charging network as penance for their heinous crime? All we seem to get are scumbag ambulance chasing blame-game lawyers getting rich on the back of yet another class-action case, son of PPI.
I love the fact that VW have even got the front to challenge the case in the UK despite being found guilty elsewhere in the world and already shelled out in excess of £26bn
