With e-mobility from Volkswagen. http://emobility.volkswagen.com/ In the noise of the city, you hardly notice that the fully electric e-up! 1) makes virtually no noise. That's why we've given this urban runabout and its super quiet electric motor a voice to be proud of, complete with clueless passers-by, hidden speakers, and a very special passenger ... 1) e-up! Electricity consumption in kWh/100 km: 11.7 (combined) CO2 emissions in g/km: 0 Efficiency category: A+ ... ] The biggest problem with electric cars is that they don't sound that great. That's why Volkswagen fitted the up! with loudspeakers and Fatih Sahin. That's one way to make it better. Here's the thing: you hear a V8 or a glorious sounding V12, and you turn around. Hell, you turn around even if you get fooled by a Honda with some oversized tube at the back! I know, I've been there too.
