A nearly €40,000 Volkswagen Polo needs a pretty good explanation. That’s roughly how much you would have to pay to get yourself an ID. Polo like the one I drove for a day during the Eurocharge by Schaeffler EV grand tour, a cross-Europe electric car road trip. And sure, the ID. Polo is pricey, but while driving it, I found myself searching for excuses to justify it.
This little hatchback feels so effortless that judging it by its size alone seems a bit unfair. It really made me question whether going larger meant you were buying a better car or simply more car.
