Tesla gets the nod from VW for 'proving electric cars are here to stay'
Volkswagen is arguably the legacy automaker most committed to electric vehicles and this week, it gave a rare nod to a competitor, Tesla, for “‘proving electric cars are here to stay.”
Scott Keogh, the chief executive officer of Volkswagen AG in the US, made the comment at the National Automobile Dealers Association, a crowd that hasn’t been extremely supportive of electric vehicles or Tesla specifically.
Studies have shown that electric car adoption has been slowed down by ‘dismissive and deceptive’ car dealer practices and dealer lobbying groups have often attempted to block Tesla from selling its vehicles directly to customers.
But Keogh has been hammering this electric vehicle message to dealers for quite some times now.

I'm seeing both Audi and Volvo commercials featuring cars that can be plugged in.
