We have already mentioned several times that Volkswagen will once again have a very green exhibition in Geneva. And we have to repeat it now, with the introduction of the electric e-Golf , which you simply plug into the socket.
Electricity from the outlet charges the lithium-ion cells with a capacity of 26.5 kWh , which are located under the rear seats, which transfer their energy to the 115 hp electric motor . It then transfers the power to the road through the front wheels. Acceleration takes place in a respectable 11.8 seconds, the maximum speed is limited to 135 km/h. The range with fully charged batteries is 175 km , charging to such a level takes 20 minutes (fast charger) and 5 hours (classic home network).
But there's a little catch. The above dynamic data only applies to the Normal driving mode . If the driver selects Eco mode , the power is reduced to 95 hp and you will not go more than 120 km/h. If you want to save even more, you choose the Range mode , which turns off the air conditioning and reduces the maximum speed to 95 km/h. But you will probably drive more than the declared 175 km.
And how does the electric motor limit the normal use of the car? The trunk will shrink to 345 liters , the car will gain 250 kg and passers-by will quickly recognize you thanks to the new front bumper and the absence of exhausts. In the interior, a new panel of alarm clocks and a modified LCD monitor on the center console peek out at you.
