Volkswagen's first entry into the modern electric car market is the e-Up!. Based on their city Up platform, the e-Up! is a fully electric vehicle capable of carrying four adults (although possibly more suited to two adults and two children) in a way that is both practical and immensely enjoyable.
The e-Up! costs £19,250 including the UK Government £5000 grant. But what does this get you? On paper you may be forgiven for thinking the e-Up! isn't that impressive. The 0 - 62mph time is 12.4 seconds, it's top speed is 80mph and its range is only 93 miles on the NEDC test cycle. But this is a car full of surprises. It feels nippy - more than that even. It leaps off the line as if it read your mind rather than waiting for your foot to actually move. It's low centre of gravity (provided by the batteries slung on the underside of the car) and the corner located wheels combine to make this car take even the most extreme corners like it is on rails.

Wheels in each corner... Revolutionary!
So sad that we won't be allowed to get this car in the US.
Will it be available as a Skoda CitiGo, as I just prefer it's looks ?? !!
I also think VW missed a trick and could've rotated the fuel filler cap ninety degrees anti/counter-clockwise and then it would flip up and protect the plug from rain etc !!!
Nice car for Early Adopters, but for everyday folk it will be better in a couple of model generations and cheaper. As battery technology improves and charging stations proliferate !!!.
Hurry up Graphene !!!
Sounds like a neat little car to bad its not coming the the US.
As eleccy cars become more mainstream they will become the same cost premium a diesel is over petrol cars. At the moment the low numbers inhibit cost reductions.
I read and hear this a lot; the E-up is brilliant but too expensive.
C'mon, VW, take a hit on the first gen, bring it down to £15k - these would fly off the forecourts at that price!
Totally agree with you on the price. Looks an awesome car but it's way way too expensive.
The E-UP is similar in spec to my partners HIGH UP. She paid £10300 for this.
Ok take away the engine/gearbox/exhaust/clutch. Etc etc and take a wild stab in the dark that these components cost £2000.
So the "shell" effectively for an E-UP should be around the £8000. But their asking £24000???
So what your saying Volkswagen is that the EV drivetrain and your smaller 18kwh battery costs £16000?
Come on Volkswagen your taking the mickey.
As Nikki says if they sold the car for £15000 they will sell like hotcakes!
***** I agree, but the incentive is 25% of the cost of the car upto a maximum of £5000.
Even if they priced the car at £20,000, this would mean that the buyer would still have the full £5000 incentive making the OTR price £15,000.
Correct me if I'm wrong?

***** Just curious, what about the home charging efficiency from, say, a standard
220 V, 3 kW socket (for example, the Zoe is notoriously very inefficient in that) ?
And does the car have the heat pump for heating/cooling? What about its behavior in colder climates ?

You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from INPLIX .
Car takes too long to charge at only 3,3kw, Zoe is much better finished, has a longer range and unlike the VW is not just a city car. And Zoe has a Chameleon charger that will charghe at many different levels.
