About VW e-Golf 36 kWh

The VW e-Golf 36 kWh is an all-electric front-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2017 replacing the older VW e-Golf 24 kWh. VW stopped making the 36 kWh in 2021.

The VW e-Golf 36 kWh has a 35.8 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 207 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 15.5 kWh per 100 km (or 155 Wh/km) — ranked №498 out of 586 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is VW e-Golf 36 kWh

The VW e-Golf 36 kWh achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 9.6 seconds (placing it at №445 among 586 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 150 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 100 kW (134 hp) and a torque of 290 Nm.

Real-world range of VW e-Golf 36 kWh

VW e-Golf 36 kWh achieves a real-world range of 186–228 km, placing it at №498 among 586 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

VW e-Golf 36 kWh charge port type?

The VW e-Golf 36 kWh in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 7.2 kW, resulting in approximately 42 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 40 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use our Charging calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.
