- VW Boss Martin Winterkorn recently stated, “VW is researching a super-battery in Silicon Valley in California, that is cheaper, smaller and more powerful. An electric Volkswagen that can travel 300km (186 miles) on electricity is in sight. It will be a quantum leap for the electric car.”
- If the next e-Golf has a driving range around 186 miles, that will be about 100 miles longer than today’s model, which should help make it even more appealing.
- Volkswagen hasn’t announced when the new battery technology will be available.
