Is Volkswagen about to offer electric conversions of its classic cars?

Iconic classic Volkswagen models appear set to become available with the option of converted electric powertrains, if new trademarks filed in Europe are a guide. The classic model names Beetle, Golf, Kubel and, Karmann were all filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office in late June, this time with the prefix “e-”. It is possible some of these names are being reserved for modern interpretations of the classic cars, rather than electrified original examples.
