Now the European Union Intellectual Property Office has received trademark applications for the “e-Golf Classic,” “e-Karmann,” and “e-Kübel” all filed by VW.

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was a 2+2 sports coupe built between 1955–1974. There was even a convertible version. They have a small but passionate following. The first model had barely 20kW of power so an electric motor should do much better.
The e-Kubel suggests the Kübelwagen, a World War II military vehicle based on the beetle platform.
Kübelwagen is a contraction of Kübelsitzwagen, meaning ‘bucket-seat car’. It had no doors so bucket seats prevented passengers from falling out
