Question:
Hi Will this unit fit the full electric eGolf which has high voltage battery pack mounted under front and rear seats and transmission tunnel. Aim to use it for mounting a tow-bar cycle carrier supported onto tailgate top edge Thanks

Unfortunately there is not a trailer hitch receiver compatible with your 2018 VW eGolf model from any of our manufacturers. The Electric version is a different fit that they haven't completely figured out at this time. That will limit you to a trunk mounted rack which will limit your options slightly, but there are some really good options available that will fit your vehicle.
To carry your bikes, I recommend the Malone Hanger 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139. This will fit well and by design will protect your spoiler. It also has the integrated lock that will allow you the security that some other racks don't offer as an integrated option.
You may also be interested in an adapter bar like # 64005 for any bike frames that don't have a top frame rail for level transport as well as the Softride Soft Hook-and-Loop Tie Downs for Bike Racks # SR54FR to keep the front wheel in line with the frame when transporting.
