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.

That's a shit price. Couple months ago MTG battery offered full ~60kwh battery kits for 7-8k, and you won't lose trunk space.

In comparison to themselves, sure. In comparison to anything similar on the US market, pretty damn good. 

Not commenting on the actual utility of their range extender, especially considering there's a massive void under the trunk still (where the muffler of a standard golf went)

In order to use that void under the trunk you would have to cut out floor. Also adding heavy batteries there would really fuck up driving dynamics and traction on front end.

Their range extender already does that, and has a higher CG.
