VW's electric Golf will penetrate U.S. market in 2013

Volkswagen announced that its electric Golf Blue E-motion concept will become actuality. At the forthcoming 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show, the carmaker will show off the concept electric car it has been testing in Europe.

However unless you're driving the vehicle or peeking under the hood, get ready to be underwhelmed--the Golf Blue E-motion is identical to the present gasoline-powered Golf.

Like many EVs, the Golf Blue E-motion offers three driving modes to boundary energy consumption and extends range. Recharging the e-Golf takes approximately 6 to 7 hours, according to a VW spokesperson.

With a full battery, the Golf Blue E-motion offers a range of 90-100 miles, like to the upcoming Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i-Miev, but the manufacturer imagines the range capacity to raise by the time it hits the U.S. market in late 2013. The manufacturer will start a testing program in the U.S., although no information has been released.
