Vehicle model
e.GO Gamme e.GO - électrique/hybride
e.GO was an exclusively electric brand: it never offered a hybrid or combustion-engine vehicle. This category therefore brings together its entire zero-emission lineup, including the e.GO Life city car and then the e.wave X, presented in 2022 as a substantially revised evolution. The e.wave X received a 30.4 kWh battery advertised as swappable, giving a WLTP range of about 253 km, with an output of around 86 kW. This new generation was meant to broaden usage beyond very short trips, but series production never truly got underway before the 2024 bankruptcy. No e.GO electric model was ever distributed in North America. For Quebec, these light electric vehicles benefit from low-rolling-resistance winter tires, in order to combine mandatory winter safety with preserved range.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
A 100% electric lineup (no hybrid or combustion powertrain): lithium-ion batteries from 14.5 to 30.4 kWh, an electric motor of 60 to 86 kW, an aluminum chassis and a thermoplastic body; the e.wave X introduced a battery presented as swappable.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Citadines électriques compactes, les e.GO chaussaient de petites roues : l'e.GO Life était montée d'origine en 195/65 R15 ou en 205/50 R17, soit des jantes de 15 et 17 pouces, des formats fréquents sur les petites voitures urbaines. Ces dimensions modestes facilitent le choix de pneus d'hiver, indispensables au Québec où la loi impose des pneus hiver en saison froide. Pour ce type de véhicule électrique léger, on privilégie des pneus à faible résistance au roulement afin de préserver l'autonomie. Les modèles e.GO restant très rares en Amérique du Nord, il convient de confirmer l'entraxe (bolt pattern), l'indice de charge et la dimension exacte sur le véhicule avant tout achat de pneus ou de jantes.
