VW Canada is also planning a major hike to EV prices with the V6. My dealer estimates CDN$ 10,000 - $15,000 (!). The dealers are dismayed (to understate). As for the current EV, MSRP is $39,256 (5-speed) and $40,306 (auto). Furnace is compulsory option ;-{ Additional becnh is $670 Adding Freight and PDI, air conditioning tax, gas guzzler tax, and 15% (!) sales taxes (Ontario), the manual will run $46,500. Note to American readers - the Canadian dollar is kinda weak. Dan Herbert Your dollar is worth approx $1.40 here.
