The success of low cost electric models Dacia Spring and Renault Zoe could not go unnoticed. Thus, the officials of the Wolfsburg brand are seriously considering the possibility of giving a “restart” to the production of their car on batteries.
VW e-Up! and Dacia Spring are almost identical under the body. Both zero-emission vehicles have an 83 hp electric motor. The battery is in both cases 32.3 kWh and offers a range of up to 260 kilometers.
The German magazine Automobilwoche, quoted by Autonews, writes that some dealers are already making lists for potential customers of u-Up !.
Electric car rental company Nextmove has stated that e-Up! in the equipment “Style Plus” is about to return with a list price of about 26,500 euros. The final price would be around 17,000 euros after the application of the government incentives offered in Germany.
On the Romanian market, Volkswagen e-Up! is again available for orders. Prices start at 25,595 euros.
Nextmove warned its customers via a Twitter post that “the offer will be epic and a quick response is critical.”
With e-Up !, Volkswagen could fill the gap in its range of electric vehicles. That is, only until 2025, when the future model is planned to make its debut on small class batteries.
