Overview

Volkswagen e-Up! 2016 overview

Official WLTP range is 133 km, with 16 kWh usable battery, DC up to 37 kW and typical 10-80% stops near 22 min (est.). Volkswagen e-Up! 2016 is an electric hatchback with FWD and 4 seats.

Real-world estimate (BEVDB model, est.): 94 km (cold highway) and 123 km (mild city). A 10-minute DC top-up (est.) adds 45 km. Energy use is 13.8 kWh/100 km.

Range and charging speed point to city and suburban use.

Real Range

City - Mild Weather	128 km
City - Cold Weather	97 km
Highway - Mild Weather	128 km
Highway - Cold Weather	103 km

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from WLTP data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

Energy Consumption

BEVDB model

Combined real range (estimate)	119 km
Combined Energy Use (estimate)	13.3 kWh/100 km

BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived; falls back to NEDC when WLTP is missing) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
