Estimates, not measurements: the WLTP figure scaled by the same temperature and road factors for every car (for example 65% for cold motorway driving, 115% for mild city driving). Your range depends on speed, wheels, load and heating. For a planned stop, use the charging simulator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Volkswagen e-Up! Range & Charging FAQ

What is the real-world highway and winter range of the Volkswagen e-Up!?

The official combined WLTP range for the Volkswagen e-Up! is 205 km (127 miles).

In cold winter conditions (-5°C / 23°F) at highway cruising speeds (120-130 km/h), expect a realistic highway range of approximately 148 km (92 miles) due to cold battery chemistry, cabin heating, and higher aerodynamic drag.

How long does it take to charge the Volkswagen e-Up! at home?

Charging the 32.3 kWh battery from 0% to 100% takes approximately 2.6 hours using a standard 11 kW 3-phase AC wallbox. On a single-phase 7.4 kW home charger, a full charge takes around 3.9 hours (typically overnight).

How fast is DC fast charging (10% to 80%)?

The Volkswagen e-Up! supports peak DC fast charging rates of up to 37 kW. Recharging from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC) requires approximately 51 minutes at a compatible ultra-rapid charging station.

How much does it cost to charge the Volkswagen e-Up!?

At an average European residential electricity tariff of €0.24/kWh, a complete 0-100% home charge costs approximately €7.75. At high-power public DC charging networks (~€0.65/kWh), a full recharge costs approximately €20.99.
