Volkswagen to go electric in Frankfurt
The German automaker will bring two electric models to the 2013 Frankfurt motor show on 10 September. Unlike Nissan, which built its Leaf EV on a dedicated platform, the e-Up and e-Golf share architecture with their respective internal-combustion counterparts. Volkswagen estimates that with the e-Golf’s 24.2-kilowatt-hour battery pack – virtually the same size as that in the Leaf – the hatchback will travel 118mi, while the e-Up’s 18.8kWh pack is pegged at 99mi. The company has not yet divulged pricing or export markets for the cars. (Photo: Volkswagen Group)
