Volkswagen reportedly readying 300-mile EV prototype to take on Tesla

If you thought the Tesla Model 3's 200-mile-range was impressive, wait until you hear what Volkswagen has in store.

The company has been hurting a bit since dieselgate broke last year. The world's largest automaker might be down, but it's not out. That's because it has a veritable arsenal of exciting new vehicles in the pipeline. Perhaps none more so than VW's forthcoming long-range EV.

While we knew the German carmaker was working on a 300-plus-mile electric car, we didn't quite know when we might actually see it, or learn about any of its features. However, today we have a better idea.
