Bischoff said VW will use the upcoming Geneva auto show to give early guidance on what the new EVs might look like.

Volkswagen is looking at Apple products for guidance on how to style its new generation of electric cars, its top designer said, as the automaker aims to turn profits on battery-powered vehicles when they launch in 2020.

For Europe's biggest automaker, adopting simplicity as the guiding principle for future styling of electric vehicles (EVs) marks a departure from the era before its 2015 "dieselgate" emissions scandal, when vehicle design conveyed the German group's engineering prowess and technological ambitions.
