Features, photos and information of the electric car

The Volkswagen e-up It is the electric variant of the German urban, whose original launch took place 6 years ago. In its commitment to electric mobility, the German firm injects life through a price reduction and an increase in its autonomy, to turn it – finally – into a city prepared for large cities.

Do not look for aesthetic changes, because there are none. The renovation of Volkswagen e-up 2020 It is in its entrails: a battery pack that grows its capacity from 18.7 kWh to 32.3 kWh, to reach a range of up to 260 kilometers under everyday driving driving.

The engine responsible for driving e-up remains of 82 hp. Thanks to the low center of gravity and the immediate throttle response, Volkswagen promises fun driving. There is talk of an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 130 km / h.

The loading time It also improves. In direct current at 40 kW, the Volkswagen e-up recovers 80% of its battery in just one hour, at which time the brand suggests shopping or moving to the gym. From the mobile application you can start or stop charging remotely, in addition to controlling the air conditioning.

The reduction of Volkswagen e-up price leave it with a label of 21,975 euros before any incentive. In Germany, for example, the government discounts 2,000 euros and Volkswagen takes another 2,000 euros, leaving it at 17,975 euros – some 370,000 pesos at the current exchange rate.

Omitting the Twizy, the cheapest electric car in Mexico is the Nissan LEAF, with a tag of 700,000 pesos and 240 kilometers of autonomy. The Volkswagen e-up could offer autonomy slightly higher than a lower price, and although it would still be expensive, it would be a more accessible alternative for those who already rely on electric mobility. So far there are no plans to sell it in our country.
