VW is planning to sell 20% of their vehicles as pure electrics by 2020. Here is one from their Porsche brand:

I'm just hoping for a good electric or plug-in hybrid 4WD/AWD SUV or
crossover before I need a new car. That Porsche is pretty, but I don't
think it's going to cut it on my roads (or even my driveway)!


SUVs are coming. Tesla has one in the works. VW has some 20 models, this is just one, there are others in SUV sizes.


Yeah, I know it won't be too long. But I have 300,000 miles on my
current vehicle. It's not going to keep on forever.


Then move to Denver, where everything is (or can be) within walking distance for you.
