Thus, the car company turns the event into a photo op, and a way to announce that the battery-powered car is officially on sale. Volkswagen, weeks away from offering the 2015 E-Golf to customers, is putting a new spin on selecting the first buyer of its first electric car by offering it to the highest bidder in a charity auction. Volkswagen of America and Global Green USA today announced the launch of the E-Golf auction. Proceeds will benefit Global Green USA, a national environmental non-profit. The auction is already live at: Charitybuzz.com/vwegolf. For nearly two years, Volkswagen executives have expressed interest in becoming a leader in vehicle electrification. The E-Golf represents the first tangible step that backs VW’s intent with a vehicle available for sale. “We’re excited to mark the launch of our first all-electric car with an auction that raises funds and awareness for Global Green USA’s groundbreaking work to bring smart, sustainable solutions to communities nationwide,” said Michael Horn, president and CEO, Volkswagen Group of America. The all-new, 2015 Volkswagen E-Golf goes on sale in November, starting at $36,265 (including destination and delivery) for the fully equipped SEL Premium model. The SEL is the E-Golf's single trim option. The battery-powered version of the Volkswagen Golf will join a relatively crowded field of small battery-powered cars. It stacks up against the Nissan LEAF, Ford Focus Electric, and Kia Soul EV. The Golf is an ultra-popular platform that combines comfort, practicality, refinement and the simple tasteful lines—inside and out. The E-Golf features a 24.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and an electric motor producing 115 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. The electric VW is expected to sprint from 0-62 mph in just over 10 seconds. That beats the LEAF by about a second. Top speed is governed to 87 miles per hour. The size of the E-Golf’s battery pack is right in line with similar EVs, so expect about 75 to 85 miles of range on a full charge. Bids will be accepted at Charitybuzz.com/vwegolf until 3:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 29.

It features a 115-horsepower electric motor fed by a 24.2kWh lithium-ion battery pack that VW says should let the car travel between 70-90 miles on a single charge. Developing an impressive 199 lb-ft of torque, it also promises to give the new e-Golf "brisk" acceleration.
