Volkswagen has a two act performance prepared for the Frankfurt Auto Show, once the media days begin on September 10-11.
The two cars are
Nike NFL Shop electric-powered and 100-percent emission free. First up, the VW e-Golf has a 113-horsepower electric motor coupled to its 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.

Maximum range is 118 miles,
Nike Football Jerseys, which places the e-Golf near the top of the affordable EV class.
VW estimates the e-Golf will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in roughly 10 seconds. Again,
Ducks Football Jerseys, that’s about equal to most of its competition. So is the car's maximum speed of 86 mph.

That’s fine for the U.S. market,
Soccer Jerseys, though you could be a sitting duck in an e-Golf on the German autobahn.
The smaller and cheaper e-Up! is slightly down on the range and performance figures posted by its big brother. The same sprint to 60 mph takes about 12.4 seconds,
Kids Jersey, while total driving range drops to 99 miles.

The smaller e-Up! sub-compact (shown in the foreground) has much less of a chance at coming to the U.S. - though we wish VW
NFL Gear For Men would reconsider bringing the Up! (in EV or gas-powered format) to our shores.

Both cars come with driving modes (Eco and Eco+) to maximize range,
Quebec Nordiques Jersey, along with four modes for regenerative braking systems that feed power back to the batteries.
VW says that the fastest recharge time for either model is only 30 minutes for an 80-percent charge. Expect to budget a more typical 6-8 hours when not plugged into an ideal charging arrangement.

Will either model be sold in the U.S.? Don’t bet on the sub-compact e-Up! making it here,
Toddler NFL Jerseys, since VW doesn’t even sell the standard gas or diesel-powered variant on these shores.
The e-Golf stands a much better shot,
Chicago Blackhawks Jersey, if only because VW is presently EV-free in the U.S. and the car is already a known commodity here.

Following typical VW planning,
Canucks Jersey, expect the e-Golf to go on sale in Europe sometime next year ? but sales in the U.S. (if they do happen) probably won’t be until early-2015.
We'd
Nike NFL Uniforms peg the U.S. price of the e-Golf between $30,
Oregon Football Jersey,000 and $35,
NHL Apparel,000 (before factoring in tax incentives).
