What was a rumor solely yesterday has been confirmed at the moment. Volkswagen of America has formally introduced it’s altering its title to Voltswagen of America. That is proper. It swapped the Ok for a T, although this may apply to its EVs solely. Why is that this taking place? As a result of VW desires to declare its long-term dedication to e-mobility with new battery-electric fashions just like the VW ID.4, which have simply arrived in US dealerships. Volts are the derived items for electrical potential between two factors. Volks, in fact, interprets to ‘individuals’ in German.

“The thought of a ‘individuals’s automotive’ is the very cloth of our being,” stated president and CEO of VW North America Scott Keogh.

UPDATE: This case turned out to be an elaborate April Idiot’s Day joke by Volkswagen. CarBuzz, in addition to many different respected information shops, had been fooled into pondering it was legit. The title won’t be altering. An article explaining what occurred is forthcoming.
