There were ten vehicles that were charged with batteries that are American-German manufactured from GAIA with cathode type nickel cobalt aluminium dioxide while the other ten were charged with lithium-ion batteries made from the nickel manganese cobalt(NMC) cathodes. These were the product of the Korean-German joint venture SB LiMotive. The engines are supported with the electric heating system when there is a low temperature. On the fully charged battery, the Golf Variant twinDRIVE is capable of sharing the pure electrical energy used for driving.
