A couple of weeks ago, Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA)
was pleased to announce that their first ever all-electric vehicle to hit
American markets was rated the most fuel-efficient vehicle in the EV compact
car segment! This car marks the first zero-emissions, fully electric version of
the 2015 Volkswagen Golf. It is a key component of the Volkswagen brand’s Think Blue
campaign and approach to sustainability and efficiency. Keep reading to learn
more!
The 2015 VW e-Golf earned a rating from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) at 126/105 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent), city and
highway. The EPA also gave it a range of 83 miles. Compared to other compact electric
vehicles, these numbers make it the best in the class! It combines all of
benefits and practicality of an electric vehicle with the fun-to-drive formula that
gasoline-powered 2015 VW Golf models bring. The 2015 VW e-Golf comes equipped with
a compact electric motor and lithium-ion battery.
It comes with an 7.2 kW onboard charger as standard
equipment that allows the battery to be charged in one of three ways: the
installation of the optional 240-volt wallbox that can charge the vehicle in
less than four hours, a charging cable that can be plugged into any standard
110/120-volt electrical socket and charge in about 20 hours, and the standard
Combined Charging System (CCS) that allows the car to use the SAE DC fast
charging infrastructure that charges the battery to 80 percent in 30 minutes.
