It looks like it's not just the Samba that's getting electrified. Volkswagen has filed trademark applications in Europe for electric sounding names of some of their classic models.

VW could have a lot of fun designing an electric Beetle like the did with the ID.Buzz.

I think an electric Karmann Ghia would be a HUGE hit! Lots of people are waiting for this kind of future/retro concept to come to life!

A new electric Karmann Ghia or Beetle would be huge for VW if they keep the retro styling. Though these trademarks could be for electric conversions like the e-samba, which is also pretty cool for VW to do.
