1996 Volkswagen Beetle Retro Electric E-Cap for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1996 Volkswagen Beetle Retro Electric E-Cap is a used car showing 25,990 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in White with a Grey interior.

E-Cap GmbH converted this late Beetle to fully electric drive in 2015 while keeping its original look. The dealer quotes 60 kW, a 16 kWh battery, a top speed of 120 km/h, a range of about 100 km and a charging time of five hours.

A major service followed in 2021. With no exhaust emissions, the car can enter city low-emission zones without restriction, and it came to Gallery Aaldering as a trade-in.

The car started life as a Mexican-built Beetle from the Puebla plant, where Volkswagen kept making the model until 30 July 2003, closing a 65-year run of 21,529,464 cars. The original rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-four is gone: E-Cap replaced it with an electric motor and battery pack, while the body, suspension and cabin keep the classic Beetle character.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
