VW e-Golf will get 30% range boost thanks to improved batteries

Volkswagen will give the e-Golf nearly 30 percent more range thanks to an upcoming improvement from the German automaker’s batteries. Volkmar Tanneberger, the company’s head of electronic development, says the battery cells in the e-Golf will grow to 37 amp hours from 28 amp hours currently, and this jump allows for the improvement without any physical changes to the battery design.
