The Volkswagen e-Golf is an interesting piece of electric vehicle history. It was only manufactured during the seventh generation of the iconic Golf nameplate, before any of the ID-badged EVs came to life, making it an almost 10-year-old car.
It also came with a rather small, 24.4-kilowatt-hour (gross) battery pack (a bigger version was introduced in 2017) that enabled an EPA range of just 83 miles, which was only of any real use around town. But after several years of use that include thousands of discharge cycles and hundreds of thousands of miles, can the e-Golf stand its ground as a modern, cost-effective urban runabout?
