  1. Fully electric is the only sensible solution. Hybrid is the worst of both worlds.

  2. It doesn’t. Mass has only a small effect, especially when cruising on the highway.

  4.  @Sbinott0  That’s probably the showroom model. I see them on the road regularly and in 2023 alone VW sold more than 35k units.

  5. Of course not. The idea was to make it fully electric from the beginning. That is what makes it so special.

  6. How on earth could expect such a range?!

  7. Not in cost per mile, driving comfort, noise and CO2 emissions.

  8. This van was supposed to be electric. That is what makes it so unique. The T7 hybrid has been on the market for years in Europe.

  9. Weight is not a big factor when it comes to range and no, a smaller electric motor would not give it more range.

  10. You regularly drive more than 200 miles without stopping?

  11. Lol how to say you never tried an EV without saying you never tried an EV.

  13. The whole point of this van is that it is electric.

  14. No they can’t because of weight and cost. The range it has is plenty.

  15. Hybrids were cool 10 - 20 years ago

  16.  @bulancez  I don’t see a problem in having a 30 minute break after 200 miles of driving. Much rather than hauling around a combustion engine.

  17. The whole purpose of this van is that it is electric. In Europe VW sells the T7 van with hybrid drivetrain.

  19. There is no family that drives more than 200 miles without taking a break.

  20. There is nothing forced and they are not dead on arrival. Try one for yourself.

  21. You can go camping with it. It makes no sense to develop a hybrid vehicle in 2024.

  22.  @davidlogan3874  Have you ever driven an EV?

  23.  @davidlogan3874  Not even close. Weight only has a small effect on range, especially when cruising on the highway.

  24.  @davidlogan3874  Pulling a trailer is incomparable to putting some people and luggage in it. The difference will be small, even in de mountains.

  25.  @davidlogan3874  Of course, that is up to you. But you are just using the wrong reasons.

  26. You can easily road trip in this.

  27. It's not really an issue as it charges quite fast.
