An adventurous tale of electric motoring

Do you want to hear a tale of adventure, tragedy, heroism, derring-do and sheer naked excitement? Well let me tell you about the new Volkswagen eGolf and a story which involves all of the above.

The eGolf is the all-electric version of the multi-award winning Volkswagen which has, for decades, been all things to all men and women and which has been the foundation upon which the German manufacturer has conquered all before it for such a long time.

Like all electric cars — so many of which are now appearing before our eyes — the eGolf is the same as any other Golf in terms of practicality, space, fit and finish and all the other traits which has made the car such a winner. But, and this is a very big ‘but’, it has a very limited range.
