Volkswagen have reported they are close to releasing a new battery they consider to be a “quantum leap for the electric car”. With its 185 mile range, it is cheaper, smaller and more powerful. The company has also announced plans to build an all-electric version of their popular Golf compact car in Germany. It does however face competition from the Chevrolet Bolt and the Tesla Model S both of which are aiming to trump 185 mile range so stating it a 'quantum leap' does appear a slight overstatement.
