The all-too-familiar Volkswagen Golf is the latest model to get the electrification treatment. Using the Golf 7.5 as a base, Volkswagen has managed to create a vehicle that near-seamlessly slots into our daily regimes without requiring too much fuss from us, the end-user.
A 35.8 kWh Li-ion battery system powers a 100 kW and 290 Nm electric motor to provide a range of between 170 km and 230 km on a single charge. Charge times can take anywhere from 12 hrs when using a 3 kW charge source to as little as 40-minutes (0-80%) with a high-output 50 kW fast-charging solution.
The Volkswagen e-Golf forms the first part of VWSAs three-phase approach to an electrified future in South Africa.
