Is Electric VW E-Up The Beetle of the 21st century.
As the decade HEW is therefore the question is what the next big automotive technology, one would think hybrid well right VW and Mercedes cars still consider the electric fuel cell are where it's at.
The electric car is due to a showroom near you, we can really confirm because VW manufacturer s of the people's car will have a 2013 VW even dubbing the E-Up the Beetle of the 21st century assertion that high can it be true.
Volkswagen has unveiled the car at the IAA auto show is a new version of a concept car from the German automaker's been teasing for a while now up but in this case, the car's been given an eco-friendly electric drive 100 review it's statistics are quite impressive an electric motor that delivers 60 kW peak power and 40 kW at a continuous speed and delivers a 210 Nm of right torque from zero revolutions that doesn t much, compared to 350 Nm the electric motor Prius, but it is enough to give the car a 0 to 100 km h speed of about 11 seconds, and 0 to 50 km Transmission am the most interest range for drivers of the city only 3 five seconds he is also head to 135 km h near 84 mph is more than able to roar on the Autobahn or motorway, whether VW is a dubbing specialist in town.
Of course, electric cars are defined as much by their battery technology as their engines, and the E-Up has a lithium-ion unit of 18 kWh, 240 kg represents nearly a quarter of the weight of the whole car this unit gives the car a range of 80 miles of 130 kilometers, which would limit how you to drive on the highway, but an additional charge of one hour fill er up 80 So when rest-stops feature points of electric charging it'll allow more long trips range Plugged into a household outlet of 230V, it'll completely fill in 5 hours, which means you can use the cheap rate electricity, resulting in a cost claimed 2 100 km about 3 to 80 miles.
What to say about the design of the car Well, it's weird, but UP has always been, and electric cars, I'm not thinking about you, Mr. Aptera seem to be a trend toward Kooky, any so its seating arrangement is called 3 1 which means that the driver normal seat, front passenger seat s is actually put a little forward, and there is room for two to sit on the rear seat behind it the seat behind the driver works, but it is really only for the storage space.
But can the E-Up to the high claim up to be VW Beetle for a new century The original Volks-wagen requirement was to have a car that could carry two adults and three children at 100 km h and this, cheaply Its design finished being quite unusual, so famous in fact that light in the E-up could really be the 21st century Beetle and check the adorable design details where the VW logo on the hood swivels to reveal charger plug the potential design right worship he also won t we long to whether the E-Up is also affordable to buy because it is run VW will really start pushing these things out of line Production in 2013.
