Someone at GM finally realized this and un-canceled the Bolt. Still waiting for VW to wake up and ship the ID3 in North America.

I don't think VW, or any German Car brand for that matter, really wants to sell small (electric) vehicles anymore.

VW desperately wants to cancel the Up! in Europe in favour of SUVs, BMW cancelled the i3 a long time ago and only introduced either EV land yachts or giant EV SUVs since then. Mercedes just launched a new Smart EV (which is actually a Geely) but it's not exactly small.
