The original Golf is a cult car which many global owners may be able to keep driving in an electric future thanks to a new electrification program by VW. Picture: SUPPLIED
American website Motor Authority says the company, which has partnered with eClassics, German converters who have previously electrified an original VW Beetle convertible and a 1966 split-window Kombi, has filed new trademarks with European Union Intellectual Property Office for"e-Golf Classic","e-Karmann" and"‘e-Kubel".
Using VW's MEB platform for the conversions ensures that sourcing parts will be convenient for owners, as there will be commonality with VW's new ID range of EVs, according to the company. The potential electrification of the original Mk1 Golf would be of great interest to its many fans who’d like nothing more than to continue driving this desirable and rare legend in future.
