This is our look back at the Week In Reverse—right here at Green Car Reports—for the week ending June 20, 2018.

We also learned that Volkswagen plans to spread its upcoming DC fast-charge network north of the border in a new initiative called Electrify Canada. 
Thursday, we reported on an effort by the German government to claw back incentives that Tesla owners received when they bought Model Ses. The debate hinges around what the base price for the car was and what equipment was standard when those buyers purchased their cars.
We also covered the latest cost breakdown of the Tesla Model 3, which showed the car may be even more profitable than earlier reports showed. 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Catalina Island, CA, Sep 2017
