Volkswagen up! e-up! 2013

[Diego Mamelli]

The e-Up! is the all-electric version of Volkswagen’s Up! city car.It is powered by a 60 kW electric motor and, not having any kind of gearbox, operates with almost no drivetrain noise at all. The maximum torque of 210 Nm is available at anytime and the car will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 14 seconds, reaching a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph). The electric motor is powered by a 18.7 kWh lithium-ion batter pack integrated in the floor, which can be recharged using both AC or DC method. Taking into account the versatility and the 150 km (93 miles) range, the e-Up! is ideal for city driving and for commuting purposes.

NOTICE
The 18.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack will be enough for a 150 km (93.2 mile) range and can be charged to an 80 percent level in 30 minutes.

This would be a good competitor for the BMW I3.
