Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

We have the AWD version:
RWD: 282 hp, 413 lb-ft torque
4MOTION AWD: 335 hp, 413 lb-ft torque
AWD adds a front motor with 99 lb-ft of torque; the rear motor still produces 413 lb-ft.
0–100 km/h: about 6.4 sec for the AWD version.
So.. Ya it's pretty quick. No issues with the power st all.
Depending on how much you drive that window may be too small. You'll get like 1.4kWh of battery recovered per hour, which is roughly 5-8Km of range.
Our configurator (VW AU) must be a bit different; 4WD is only available on the “GTX” variant here, which is priced well over the eligibility threshold for all of our EV tax benefits. Even getting the LWB (without selected options) under that threshold required a bit of cajoling! 😅
