2 Golfs, this Beetle and a Jetta get the snip. This charge port was even worse because the fender was plastic so had to mount on inner fender support with multiple compound curves. Git 'r done.
Fabricator's nightmare of no space, no time, and curves in sheet metal to hang the charging port box. No problem.
The VW people from Germany liked them and took them all over LA to show off.
Planes, trains and automobiles minus the planes. VERY large batteries.
If you charge it, it will go. Quick charger system gives 80% charge in 30 minutes in small EV instead of 8 hrs. Component layout was fun.
