Volkswagen has pieced together the last, 50,401st, electric Golf. The brand-new ID.3 will be coming to replace it in production in just a few weeks’ time.
It took the German automaker nearly three and a half years to produce fifty thousand battery-powered Golfs. The Dresden industrial complex had originally been little more than an expo center for digital tech and EVs. It was only converted into an e-Golf production facility in the spring of 2017.
The e-Golf packs a 100-kW (136-PS / 134-hp) electric motor and a battery sufficient for 200 kilometers (124 miles) of uninterrupted driving. The new Volkswagen ID.3 is its direct successor that offers plenty of improvements over the original.
