VW's electric Jetta M6 offers near-290-mile range for under $12,000

Volkswagen is selling its Chinese-market Jetta M6 electric sedan for less than $12,000, with nearly 290 miles (about 460km) of CLTC-rated range. The low price for a long-range EV highlights how intense competition in China is pushing established carmakers to offer far more affordable electric models than they sell in Western markets.
