Volkswagen e-Beetle
A donor Volkswagen Type 1303 Super Beetle convertible was updated by replacing the original petrol drivetrain with the electric motor, transmission, and battery used in the e-Up.[2] The e-Up drivetrain is rated at an output of 81 hp (60 kW; 82 PS) and 210 N⋅m (155 lb⋅ft) as installed in the e-Beetle, which is equipped with a 36.8 kWh lithium-ion battery for a range of 200 km (124 mi).[1] A larger battery, 45 kWh, and an uprated motor, 101 hp (75 kW; 102 PS), are available at extra cost.[1] The chassis for the e-Beetle is marketed at a retail price of €39900 alone, or €99900 for a complete converted vehicle that is ready to drive.In March 2020, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles showed the e-BULLI, a conversion of a 1966 T1 Samba Bus performed by eClassics using the same e-Up drivetrain as the e-Beetle,[4] distinct from prior electrified Volkswagen small concept vans such as the Bulli (2011), BUDD-e (2016), and ID.BUZZ (2017).
