Why did VW stop making the e-Golf?
Why is Volkswagen discontinuing the Golf? Because the future is electric! With the EU banning sales of diesel and petrol cars from 2035, and Volkswagen’s own plans to be all-electric between 2033 and 2035, the shift to sustainable driving is essential. According to Autocar, Volkswagen will launch the ninth-generation Golf in 2028 with both EV and ICE powertrain options. However, previous reports suggest it’s being pushed back until closer to 2030. It will continue to be built at the Wolfsburg plant.
What is the real range of the VW e-Golf?
The official NEDC range of the e-Golf is 186 miles, although interestingly Volkswagen quotes a real-life range of 124 miles. This is interesting because Volkswagen appears to be under-selling the car by doing this, as we consistently achieved a real-world range of around 150 miles on a full charge. The VW e‑Golf is a compact, city‑friendly EV with EPA‑rated range between about 83 and 125 miles depending on model year. Limited new‑car sales and fast EV depreciation mean you can often find one well under the price of newer long‑range models, if you know what to look for in the battery and charging hardware.
Is e-Golf a good buy?
Mind you, the same is true of any electric car. Compared with them, the e-Golf isn’t the cheapest, but it does score over the alternatives with its high-quality interior, good refinement and smooth drive. If you want a family-friendly, zero-emission car, this is well worth a look. A used EV is a great option for anyone looking to sample the electric lifestyle at a reduced buy-in cost, as well as the EV-initiated who simply want a good deal.
What is the warranty on the e-golf battery?
All about the battery warranty Every Volkswagen all-electric vehicle, comes with a warranty for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles from point of first registration (whichever comes first), to ensure your battery retains 70% of its original capacity. This warranty is available from new and can be passed on to future owners. What is the life of EV battery? The lifespan of an EV battery typically ranges from 8 to 15 years, depending on factors like the battery’s capacity, usage, and environmental conditions.In fact, a recent study conducted by Cox Automotive showed that in 2022, 28% of those surveyed were concerned about the cost of a battery replacement. However, in most cases, EV batteries can be expected to last at least 10 years or 100,000 miles, and can last even longer with proper care.Electric vehicle batteries generally have a lifespan upwards of 10 years (or 100,000 miles). A hybrid vehicle battery lifespan tends to be about the same. However, this cannot be guaranteed, to minimise the cost of repairing or replacing, having coverage for most of a battery’s lifespan is a must.
