Volkswagen whistleblower says he was fired for refusing to delete Dieselgate data

When Volkswagen’s Dieselgate fiasco went public late last year, the brand’s offices around the world were hit with a mix of shock, embarrassment, anger, and panic. Few people really know what went on behind closed doors, but now one former employee says he was instructed to delete data related to the emissions scandal, and when he refused, he was fired for it.

The Courthouse News Service reports that Daniel Donovan, a seven-year veteran of the company, is now suing his former employer for wrongful discharge. The suit claims Donovan became aware that VW’s IT department was deleting Dieselgate-related documents days after the EPA’s notice of violation of September 18, 2015. Troubled over the legal sanctions the automaker could face for obstruction of justice, he reported his findings to his supervisor. A short time later, he was out of a job.

“Donovan also asserts that he was fired because [Volkswagen Group of America] believed that Donovan was about to report the spoliation of evidence and obstruction of justice to the EPA and/or the United States Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or some other public body,” the complaint reads. Donovan is currently seeking exemplary damages in Oakland County Circuit Court.

The sixth-month anniversary of Dieselgate is just days away, but the repercussions of the event are just getting started. The brand has completely reshuffled its management structure, and is in the midst of moving away from diesel completely in favor of electrified projects like the BUDD-e concept, which recently received a greenlight for production. Volkswagen is expected to face billions in fines.

Most recently, Volkswagen Group of America President and CEO Michael Horn has stepped down. Horn first joined the Volkswagen team in 1990 and became President of Volkswagen Group of America in 2014. He will be replaced on an interim basis by Hinrich Woebcken.

Kia EV4: everything we know so far

Kia EV4 Front

Kia is continuing to expand its electric car lineup. The EV6 and EV9 have both been out for some time now, and the company is in the middle of rolling out the EV3 in Europe, with a North American release expected next year. After that, it's likely the company will turn to the EV5. But what about after that? Well, that could be where the Kia EV4 comes in.

Kia announced a concept version of the EV4 at its EV Day in 2023, showing off a futuristic-looking hatchback that's seemingly a little smaller than the EV6, but keeps many design elements. Since then, Kia has confirmed very few details about it, though we have seen it shown off at other automotive events. Here's everything we know about the Kia EV4 so far.
Kia EV4 design
The Kia EV4, or at least the concept version of it, is smaller than the EV6, and much smaller than the EV9. It's actually closer in size to a sedan than anything else, though with its open trunk, it could be considered a hatchback. Regardless, it certainly blurs the line between the two. So much so, that in recent months we've actually seen a full hatchback version of the EV4 being tested -- and it's possible that Kia is pivoting the design of the EV4 entirely to be a hatch, or will be releasing both hatchback and sedan versions.
