Volkswagen will present Frankfurt) at the Motor Show (IAA), which is held from September 10 to 22, two new electric vehicles: E-UP! and the e-golf.
Both emission-free vehicles will be marketed with four doors and a very attractive equipment, such as automatic air conditioning control and parking ventilation, radio-navery system, heated windshield, LED daytime lights and, in the E-Golf, LED front headlights.
The e-up! It consumes only 11.7 kWh of electricity at 100 km, the e-golf, 12.7 kWh. Given the price of electricity of 0.258 euros per kWh (in Germany, on July 31, 2013), driving 100 km with the E-UP! It only costs 3.02 euros, while with the E-Golf it approaches 3.30 euros.
Electric engines, gearboxes and e-up lithium batteries! and the E-Golf develop internally, and are manufactured in large Volkswagen component plants in Germany. The UP! and golf are manufactured with the same production systems as their counterparts with combustion engines.
E-Golf data
E-Golf, which is presented at a world premiere in Frankfurt, is propelled by an 115 hp electric motor that produces a maximum torque of 270 Nm and from starting. The results for this five -seater vehicle and front -wheel drive are an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 10.4 seconds and a maximum highway speed, electronically limited, 140 km/h.
E-UP data!
It also premieres worldwide at IAA E-UP! of four seats. Its electric motor produces 82 hp and transmits a pair of 210 Nm to the traction of the front axle from the start. It reaches 100 km/h in 12.4 seconds and has a maximum speed of 130 km/h.
Autonomy of the E-Up! and the e-golf
the e-up! It can travel 160 km with a battery charge (18.7 kWh), while the E-Golf, with its largest battery (24.2 kWh), has an autonomy of 190 km. In both models, two efficient driving modes ("echo" and "echo+") and four regenerative brake modes equally easy to activate ("d1", "d2", "d3" and "b") help expand autonomy to the maximum. And they are autonomies that make sense, since in Germany, for example, studies of the Ministry of Transportation, Public Works and Urbanism concluded that about 80% of drivers in Germany travel less than 50 km per day.
Fast charging
CCs load stations (direct current) faster reduce the time required to load the battery of an e-up! or an e-golf up to 80%.
