The New Volkswagen e-Up joins the EVEC

  • 28th February 202028th February 2020
  • by evexperience

Three new 2020 Volkswagen e-ups join the EV Experience Centre test drive fleet, available now on both short, and long term experiences!

Last revised in 2017 with a real-world range of around 60 miles, the 2020 model doubles this to a real-world 125 miles. For those of you who enjoy your numbers, the e-Up! now carries a 36kWh (32kWh usable) battery, giving it a WLTP tested range of 162 miles.

It achieves an output of 82hp, with an impressive rapid level of performance, leaning the car closer to its GTI counterpart than many would expect. 

The new e-up! and other similar models from Volkswagen Auto Group’s other manufacturing arms now represent one of the best entry-level electric vehicles in the market if you are targeting exclusively low costs, starting out at just inside £20k. 

Starting from today, one e-up will become a permanent short term test drive car, while the others will be available for long term experiences, starting out at £50 for 4-day experiences, moving up to £75 for 7-days, subject to our usual terms and conditions!

We hope to see you up! here soon, for your Electric Vehicle Experience.

It’s BMW takeover week

It’s BMW takeover week, come and visit the centre to get up and close with the BMW i3, BMW 330e and the phenomenon that is the BMW i8 Roadster. The BMW takeover runs from Monday 10th February 2020 until Sunday 16th February 2020.

BMW has made new strides into electrification, with nearly half of their catalogue now available in Plug-In Hybrid form, with the BMW 330, 530, 730, 225x, X1, X3 and X5 available as 20-30 mile plug in hybrids, there are options at every tier of BMW’s extensive portfolio. 

Moving from the mainstream into the extreme, the BMW i8 has been re-invented as a 2-seater drop-top roadster. With a souped-up 1.5L in the rear, coupled with its a front-mounted electric motor, the two team-up to produce 374HP, which when shovelled into its 1.5-tonne frame produces a 0-60 time of 4.6 seconds. 

Rounding out the takeover at our faithful BMW i3, the 120Ah (43kWh to us normal folk) brings the i3 to a real-world range of 150 miles. The BMW i3 remains one of our favourite cars to showcase to visitors, with its space-age design, and extremes of performance and regeneration, it showcases what it means to go electric in an unmistakable manner.

Having been a segment front-runner over the last half-decade, we are excited to see what the next instalment will bring from BMWi, as the battle for the best electric hatch is only getting fiercer.

The BMW takeover runs from 10/02/20 on to 16/02/20, showcasing the BMW i3, i3s, 330e, and the i8 Roadster, most of whom you won’t normally see within our showroom. So come on down, and Plug Into Something Bold, with BMW & EVEC. Experience electric for yourself, with our free 20-minute test drives in the BMW i3.
