Volkswagen to Debut Production e-up! and e-Golf in Frankfurt

e-up-e-Golf
In a dual world premiere, Volkswagen will be presenting two new electric cars at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show next month: the e-up! and e-Golf.

Both zero-emissions cars, the e-up! and e-Golf, offer everyday practicality, each has four doors, and they are attractively equipped.

Standard features: automatic climate control with parking heater and ventilation, radio-navigation system, windscreen heating, LED daytime running lights and, in the e-Golf, the Volkswagen brand’s first use of LED headlights.

The e-up! and e-Golf are also leaders in energy efficiency: the e-up! consumes just 11.7 kWh of electricity per 100 km – this makes it the new world champion in efficiency. The e-Golf, positioned two classes higher, attains an excellent value of 12.7 kWh. Given an electricity price of €0.258 per kWh (Germany, as of 31st July 2013), driving 100 km with the e-up! costs just €3.02, and with the e-Golf it is around €3.30.

Innovative drive technologies are core competencies at Volkswagen. Therefore, the e-motors, gearboxes and lithium-ion batteries of the e-up! and e-Golf are developed in-house, and they are manufactured in large Volkswagen component plants in Germany.

All Volkswagen are intuitive to operate, extremely practical in everyday use and sophisticated, and these traits have been fully transferred to the brand’s new e-vehicles. The e-up! and e-Golf are manufactured with the same high-volume production systems as their counterparts with combustion engines.

e-Golf data. The e-Golf, which is being presented in a world premiere in Frankfurt, is driven by a 85 kW / 11h HP electric motor. The motor produces its maximum drive torque of 270 Nm as soon as it starts off. The results: the front-wheel drive e-Golf reaches 100 km/h (0 – 62 mph) in 10.4 seconds. On a motorway, the speed of the five-seat front-wheel drive car is electronically limited to 140 km/h (87 mph).

e-up! data. Also making its debut in a world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor show is the four-seat e-up!. Its electric motor produces 60 kW / 80 HP. This motor transmits 210 Nm of torque to the driven front axle from a standstill. It completes the sprint to 100 km/h (0 – 62 mph) in 12.4 seconds. Top speed: 130 km/h (80.7 mph).

Driving ranges tailored for commuters. The e-up! can drive 160 km (99.4 miles) on one battery charge (18.7 kWh), while the e-Golf with its larger battery (24.2 kWh) has a range of 190 km (118 miles). In both models, two very efficient driving modes (“Eco”, “Eco+”) and four just as easy to activate regenerative braking modes (“D1”, “D2”, “D3” and “B”) help to extend maximum ranges. And they are driving ranges that make sense. In Germany, for example, studies by the Federal Ministry for Transport, Building and Urban Development found that around 80 percent of all car drivers in Germany drive fewer than 50 km (31 miles) daily.

Quick charging. The fastest CCS charging stations (direct current) shorten the time needed to charge the battery of an e-up! or an e-Golf to 80 per cent capacity to just around half an hour.[wzslider height=”400″ lightbox=”true”]
