Volkswagen e-Up
The Volkswagen e-Up is an all-electric car manufactured by the German automaker Volkswagen. It is a small, four-door hatchback that is based on the gasoline-powered Up model but with an electric powertrain instead of an internal combustion engine.
The e-Up has a 36.8 kWh battery pack that provides an estimated range of up to 205 km on a single charge, according to the WLTP test cycle. The electric motor produces 82 horsepower and 210 Nm of torque, which allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 11.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 130 km/h.
The e-Up can be charged using a standard household outlet, but it also supports faster charging using a public charging station or a dedicated wall box. It takes about 5 hours to charge the battery using a 7.2 kW AC charger, and just 30 minutes to charge the battery to 80% using a 40 kW DC fast charger.
Overall, the Volkswagen e-Up is a practical and efficient electric car that is ideal for city driving and short commutes. It offers a comfortable ride, good handling, and a decent amount of interior space considering its compact size.

Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)
A public charging station is required to use the highest possible charging rate. The EVSE/charging station’s charging capacity affects how long it takes to fully charge the battery. The table below shows all possible options for fully charging the Volkswagen e-Up.
In Europe, plugging an electric car into an outlet is often as easy as plugging it into a household outlet, but there are differences from country to country. The table below shows the different ways to charge the Volkswagen e-Up, but in some countries some chargers may not be available.
Type 2 ( IEC 62196)
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 16h45m | 12 km/h |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.6 kW | 10h45m | 19 km/h |

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
If you want to enjoy driving an electric car, one of the most important features to consider is the number of miles per hour the car can travel while charged. This is called the “range” of the car. All electric cars have a certain range, even if they are 100% charged. This is because they do not have an internal combustion engine to lean on if you need to drive a long distance.
Max. Power: The maximum power provided by the charging point
Avg. Power: The average power provided by the charging point during a session of 10% to 80%.
Time: the time it takes to charge from 10% to 80%
Speed: the average charging rate during the session of 10% to 80%
