Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is VW e-Up! 36.8 kWh

The VW e-Up! 36.8 kWh is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 62 kW (83 hp) of power and 155 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 11.7 seconds (ranked â„–482 out of 572 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 81 mph.

Real-world range of VW e-Up! 36.8 kWh

VW e-Up! 36.8 kWh achieves a real-world range of 125–153 miles, placing it at №479 among 572 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

VW e-Up! 36.8 kWh charge port type?

The VW e-Up! 36.8 kWh in the USA comes with a CCS Type 1 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 7.2 kW, resulting in approximately 28 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 37 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use our Charging calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.
