Yes it is. In fact, the Volkswagen Golf is available with a choice of two plug-in variants - the eHybrid and the hot hatch-flavoured GTE. Both use 1.5-litre engine and a 19.7kWh battery. The result is that the eHybrid now boasts a very impressive electric range of 88 miles. The GTE, which is more powerful, can still do 82 miles. Charging speeds have been upgraded too: from 3.6kW to 11kW on AC and 40kW on a DC rapid charger.
