VW seems to think the efficiencies of scale for EV production will catch up real fast to ICE vehicles. They think as soon as next year (and almost definitely by 2021) their EV cars will be cheaper than their equivalent ICE models.

There is going to be a really interesting tipping point in the very near future where the simplicity of electric drive trains is going to outcompete the very complicated supply chains of ICE engine parts. I've got a feeling VW is correct.
