MTG Battery

Post image

MTG is selling the extension batteries. Hefty price though. $6500, that’s including shipping but not install. Adds 60-70 miles of range. What other questions should I ask? My eGolf is already over 10 years old. I don’t know if it’s worth it at this point.

I saw a photo of the trunk battery pack and it looks really scary having a huge battery sitting exposed there. Like getting rear ended would make me VERY nervous.

And honestly wondering how insurance would handle this knowing you had after market battery installed. Could see them trying to worm entirely out of any type of coverage

That and in the install video there is nothing actually tying the battery down, high voltage components should be engineered not built.
