What is the name of the all-electric Volkswagen Golf?

The all-electric Volkswagen Golf is called the e-Golf. It is a battery-electric version of the Golf rather than a hybrid, so it uses an electric motor and battery pack instead of a petrol or diesel engine.

Volkswagen developed the production e-Golf from the Golf Mk7. The car was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, and German sales began on 14 February 2014. It retained the familiar Golf hatchback shape and everyday practicality while adding a single-speed electric drivetrain.

The e-Golf is sometimes confused with the Golf GTE. The GTE is a plug-in hybrid that combines a petrol engine with an electric motor; the e-Golf has no combustion engine. Volkswagen ended e-Golf production in December 2020 as its dedicated ID electric-car family, including the ID.3, took over that role.
