Volkswagen has partnered with an EV conversion company named eClassics to help Volkswagen Beetle owners convert their cars to run on electric power. Essential parts like battery and powertrain will be supplied by Volkswagen itself borrowed from the automaker’s own E-up! which makes this an attractive and trustworthy upgrade.

If you charge the e-Beetle for an hour, it will be able to go up to 150 km before running out, thanks to the combined charging system for facilitating fast charging.

“We are already working together to prepare the platform for the Bus. An e-Porsche 356 could also be pursued in the future.”, said Schmall which hints at the future plans of the automaker.
