These transformations are in charge of Volkswagen Group Components and eClassics. As we already mentioned, they have used the batteries and motor of the e-Up! to electrify this Vocho, with these components ensures a maximum speed of 150 km / h and the delivery of 81 hp. It can reach 80 km / h in about 8 seconds.
Your battery is from 36.8 kWh so it offers a estimated autonomy of 200 km, this set has fast charging so it can reach 150 km of autonomy in one hour. Thomas Schmall, a member of the Board of Directors of Volkswagen Group Components, said Volkswagen offers a safe, quality and with original parts to allow classic Beetle owners to convert their cars to electric models.
