Volkswagen Golf Goes Electric, Phases Out Combustion Engines.

The eighth generation Volkswagen Golf will be the last to have an internal combustion engine, with the gas-powered version set to end after its update next year. VW is looking to electrify all of its core models and plans to keep iconic names like Golf, Tiguan, and GTI, but transfer them to the electric world. The Golf's electric ninth generation will come toward the end of the decade, as the brand attempts to become fully electric by 2033. Volkswagen's new SSP electric architecture will be able to support a wider variety of cars, such as larger SUVs, and classic Volkswagen nameplates could carry on to EVs.
