Der Volkswagen-Konzern geht in die Elektro-Offensive. Der Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid als Plug-in steht seit August bei den Händlern, den reinen Stromer e-up! im Kleinwagen-Segment gibt es ab Oktober zum Kampfpreis von 26.900 Euro in den VW-Autohäusern zu sehen. Und Anfang nächsten Jahres folgen der Audi A3 Sportback e-tron als Plug-in Hybrid und der Golf als reines Elektrofahrzeug, von dem es in 2014 zusätzlich ebenfalls eine Plug-in-Variante geben wird. Weitere Modelle werden folgen, um in jedem Segment einen Stromer oder einen Plug-in Hybrid anbieten zu können und das selbst gesteckte Ziel zu erreichen, bis 2018 der weltweit ökologisch führende Autokonzern zu sein. Dabei bleibt man im VW-Konzern realistisch. Trotz des Volks-Elektroautos e-up! werde der Anteil der reinen Stromer vorerst begrenzt sein. Bis 2018 hofft man aber auf einen Absatz von 300.000 Fahrzeugen mit Ladestecker.

Volkswagen lädt das Modellspektrum mit einem neuen extrem effizienten Elektrofahrzeug auf: dem neuen e-up!. Das Elektroauto debütiert auf der Internationalen Automobil-Ausstellung (IAA) in Frankfurt und steht bereits ab Oktober bei den VW-Händlern. Der Grundpreis einschließlich Batterie beträgt 26.900 Euro. Die Wolfsburger hoffen, dass ihr erster Stromer vielleicht nicht auf Anhieb, aber doch nach weiteren Verbesserrungen in der Lade-Infrastruktur zum ersten „Volks-Elektroauto“ wird. Mit dem e-up! startet ein Elektrofahrzeug der neuesten Generation, das dank innovativer Detaillösungen besonders sparsam mit der eingesetzten Energie umgeht. So verbraucht der e-up! lediglich 11,7 kWh/100 km. Bei einem durchschnittlichen Strompreis von 25,8 Cent (Deutschland, 2013) kosten 100 Kilometer Fahrt nur noch 3,02 Euro. Die wegweisende Effizienz des e-up! ist auf den für ein Auto dieser Größe sehr guten cw-Wert von 0,308, einen optimierten Rollwiderstand, die generell sparsamen Antriebskomponenten, das hochwirksame Rekuperationssystem und innovative Ausstattungsmodule wie eine besonders sparsam arbeitende Klimaautomatik zurückzuführen.
