美國(guó)東部時(shí)間10月26日，據(jù)electrek報(bào)道，大眾汽車(Volkswagen Group)提出了可能是迄今為止最雄心勃勃的主張:到2020年他們將擁有與特斯拉一樣好的電動(dòng)汽車，并且價(jià)格是特斯拉的一半。

大眾汽車CEO Herbert Diess最近表示：“我們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)很強(qiáng)大，我們向電動(dòng)汽車投了300億，我們已經(jīng)在Zwickau有了一座工廠，還準(zhǔn)備在上海建一座電動(dòng)汽車工廠。2020年，我們會(huì)推出很棒的電動(dòng)汽車，它像特斯拉汽車一樣強(qiáng)，但是價(jià)格便宜一半。”

在汽車行業(yè)中，主機(jī)廠商很少公開(kāi)承認(rèn)要對(duì)標(biāo)哪家公司。但大眾在電動(dòng)汽車領(lǐng)域顯然一直在追趕特斯拉。

去年，Diess說(shuō)，他把特斯拉視為他們的主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手;

當(dāng)談到一款“可以像特斯拉那樣做任何事情”、“價(jià)格減半”的電動(dòng)汽車時(shí)，Diess透露可能會(huì)引用I.D. （大眾汽車品牌未來(lái)I.D.家族）概念，這款車將被命名為“Neo”因?yàn)檫@是他們計(jì)劃在2020年發(fā)布的首款新電動(dòng)汽車。（大眾I.D家族第一款量產(chǎn)上市的車型I.D.Neo。也是大眾在排放門之后盡快實(shí)現(xiàn)對(duì)消費(fèi)者承諾的一款純電動(dòng)車型，投入巨大。）

甚至在2016年推出這一概念車之前，大眾汽車就宣布將在電動(dòng)范圍內(nèi)通過(guò)曲解nedc級(jí)別（“New European Driving Cycle”，是歐洲的續(xù)航測(cè)試標(biāo)準(zhǔn)）的Model 3車型，擊敗Model 3和Model X。

多年來(lái)，大眾一直在鼓吹I.D.，想用它打敗特斯拉，但是關(guān)于I.D.汽車的性能及其它細(xì)節(jié)，我們一無(wú)所知。大眾也沒(méi)有透露I.D.的價(jià)格，但是據(jù)說(shuō)要2.8萬(wàn)美元。比Model 3便宜，還不到它價(jià)格的一半。

這款車預(yù)計(jì)將于2020年登陸歐洲和中國(guó)，之后將登陸北美。

以下為英文原文：

The Volkswagen Group has made several ambitious claims about its effort to go electric since it was hit by the Dieselgate scandal.

Now they make arguably their most ambitious claim yet: that they’ll have electric vehicles as good as Tesla’s for half the price by 2020.

VW boss Herbert Diess made the comment on the ZDF program “Maybrit Illner” when talking about the automaker’s electrification effort (translated from German):

“Here we come very strong now. We have invested 30 billion in electromobility, we have already rededicated a plant in Zwickau, and we are building an electric vehicle plant in Shanghai. We will come in 2020 with vehicles that can do anything like Tesla and are cheaper by half.”

It’s rare in the auto industry that automakers will acknowledge other automakers by name publicly like that, but Volkswagen has been clearly going after Tesla in its electrification effort.

Last year, Diess said that ‘ he sees Tesla as their main competitor;’.

When talking about an EV that “can do anything like Tesla” and “is half the price”, Diess is presumably referencing the I.D. Concept, which is expected to be called ‘Neo’ (pictured above), since it’s the first new EV they plan to release in 2020.

Before even unveiling the concept in 2016, VW announced that it would beat the Model 3 and Model X in electric range by misrepresenting the NEDC-rated range of the Model 3. In a presentation, it pinned the two vehicles against each other even though they are both unreleased yet and they are planned to be released years apart.

As for the price, VW hasn’t confirmed it yet, but they have been talking about 25,000 euros (~$28,000), which is less expensive than the Model 3, but not half the price.

The vehicle is expected to hit Europe and China in 2020 and come to North America later.
