Assuming these plugin hybrids are making a profit, then I suppose you then have to think about the business model of Tesla.
So a Passat Estate GTE might be about £40k with a 9KWh battery and a 30 mile range. Remove the petrol engine and gearbox etc and spend the money on batteries for the electric motor. Then you're in Tesla Model 3 territory. Except the Passat can only do about 80mph on battery power.
An e-Golf is about £32k. A Golf GTE is about the same.
