VW Head of Development Ulrich Eichhorn at a press event:"If it were the other way around with the technologies, it would be hard to imagine an engineer successfully proposing that combustion engines replace electric cars. Imagine if that person said: 'Instead of having torque from the start like an electric car, it has to be ramped up first'""And imagine if he then explained that it's a device where thousands of small explosions take place every minute due to the use of a toxic and highly flammable liquid that has to be stored inside the vehicle"Eichhorn also pointed out that the fuel for combustion engines comes almost exclusively from crisis regions. If a developer were to propose such a drive technology today, "what do you think his boss would say to him?"
