VW has finally decided to embrace EVs. They will reveal their e-Golf (and Europe only e-Up) in the Frankfurt auto show.
The specs are eerily similar - 24.2 kWh battery, 118 mile NEDC range (Leaf is 120) and 0-60 for some 10.4 sec. VW even makes their own motors and battery.
Apparently no space compromise, unlike Focus EV - even though e-Golf shares the platform with the fossil fueled cars.
Will the e-Golf finally offer some all-state competition to Leaf ?
