These facilities were designed and built when internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles ruled the road, and they are usually not equipped with enough electrical infrastructure to handle a lot of EV charging. When the dealership was exclusively selling ICE vehicles, it could rely on its gasoline storage facility to fuel its inventory.

The Golf Variant twïnDRIVE enables distances of up to 57 km (35 miles) on pure electrical power; an additional small internal combustion engine provides for a total range of about 900 km (559 miles). This also enables efficient driving with pure internal combustion energy transmission at high speeds in long-distance operation.
