Volkswagen PDF of mileage for future e-Golf

[marta]

Currently, the vehicles are using 25 Ah cells, but VW provides an outlook up to 36 Ah.

As it turns out, increasing the battery pack in e-Golf by 44% (by using more energy dense cells) from 24.2 kWh to 34.9 kWh would increase NEDC range to 265 km or 165 miles.

Because NEDC is optimistic and typically real-world range is significantly lower than NEDC, to have a true 150 mile e-Golf there would be need to be at least 40 kWh (65% increase).
