[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The VW ID.4 is on the way here and has gotten mostly good reviews, especially for people who don't currently drive EVs. Also Audi's e-Tron Q4, based on the same platform, will be out later this year.[/quote]

I was the previous poster who drove the porsche and didn't like it.  Haven't driven the VW but the charging network for the VW is the same as for the porsche.  Apparently they were required to install the network as part of the diesel emission scandal settlement.  I can't imagine that VW will continue to push that forward if it was part of a settlement.  We could only find one nearby (AA county) when looking while test driving.  [/quote]

There's one at the Walmart on Georgia Avenue, plus one in Arlington and one in Tysons. Full map here: https://www.electrifyamerica.com/locate-charger/?search=20007

They had to create the company that runs that network as a result of the settlement, but it's a separate business now and will make money from people charging (the VWs get three years of free use of that network, but not sure if the Audi and Porsche using the same platform will, and they're open to other EV drivers, too). So I wouldn't be too worried that they're going to drop it just because it was originally part of the settlement.

The charging network is really only likely to be an issue on road trips, anyway, though -- most people with EVs get charging stations at home so they can charge there. [/quote]
