After seeing the low prices of the transporter, thought I'd join the group, not much love on there for them, seems to be a lot of problems (what group doesn't though) a few snippets.....
40 miles range, 58 mph top speed, once it gets to 20 miles or 50% soc it scales back power, random cutting out of power resulting in no steering,no option to extend any warranties.
Seems to be a few getting rid with big losses and VW not able or interested in fixing issues
