Volkswagen has updated the Grand California based on the Crafter, introducing an Off-grid package. It includes two lithium iron phosphate batteries of 40 Ah each and solar panels rated at 104 W (version 600) or 174 W (version 680). Usable capacity increases by nearly 40% compared to the standard 92 Ah AGM battery — from 46 to 64 Ah. The lithium batteries last up to five times longer, are protected against deep discharge, and handle a charging current of up to 200 A. In ECO mode, the system prioritises solar charging; panels also charge while driving. The battery upgrade costs €833, the full Off-grid package starts at €1,719.55 (version 600) and €2,326.45 (version 680).
