The things you like are what I like about our Citigo. So its good to know those features have not been spoiled by electrification. The range and charging are adequate for most people I'd say, long range driving is not a strong point of any car this size (ICE or electric). Now if they could just get the price down :-) Thanks for the great reviews, I've enjoyed watching along.
@BatteryLife4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. I think the price is amazing. only 3.500€ more than the fossile version.
@mike.n.davies4 жыл бұрын
@@BatteryLife Unfortunately in the UK it is £6000 (€6800) more than fossil version. However, the car is doing well in the UK, the Skoda Citigo iV version has sold out of all 400 vehicles built for the UK, it is not even possible to order one. No more Skodas until the factory restarts production. So clearly lots of others agree with you about the price.

Good idea to use fossil car noise because elderly pedestrians (fossils) will instinctively recognise that there is a vehicle approaching. A rumbling V8 sound would be a fun option. 🚙

Very nice car for city traffic and short stretches on the highway. The only downside are the front seats. Standard camping chairs offer more comfort than these "boards with raised edges". But it drives really good, even in eco-mode.
@DanielHRuud4 жыл бұрын
I agree with you. A heatpump would improve the range quite a bit, but it would also probably cost too much. The biggest downside i would say is the charging speed on the fastchargers. If it was faster you could easily use this for longer trips aswell.

Battery Life We Connect has made me walk back to the car several times. And when I get back it’s both locked and charging It shows that the car is unlocked or and that it hasn’t charged at all. Very annoying. The cover of the charge port doesn’t close properly and feel like plastic. On there ICE cars it’s metal and closes firmly and stable.

Most of my use of the vw e-up 2020 will be medium to short journeys with the occasional long journey is it better to run the battery low before recharging or just drive to 50% then recharge I’ve worked out I will have to stop on 3 occasions and worry about the possibility of rapid gate,I’m hoping the weather will be cool enough to help out.
@jeanbrouwers3 жыл бұрын
drive to 50% and then charge is better then to drive it to 10% because of how the lithium battery works.
@AleksandarStefanovic3 жыл бұрын
In the city, keep it around 50%, because the battery suffers when almost full or almost empty, that way you increase the life of the battery (in the long term). When on journeys, aim to arrive at charging stations with as low state of charge as you're comfortable with, because the battery charges faster the emptier it is (thus saving you time on the journey).

I've learned that you can charge up to 100% on a home charger without battery damage. If you are using DC quick charger, do not allow more than 80%. Correct?
@BatteryLife4 жыл бұрын
No, 100% only if you are using it on long trips. Charging the car many times to 100% can damage the battery.
@electricwhirl51753 жыл бұрын
@@BatteryLife it may not damage the battery, but it's lot harder to "fill" all the cells in the battery, so for example charging to 80% will use 15kwh/100km, but charging to 100% may turn like 20kwh/100km, also it heats battery much more.

Ich hatte früher der up! als Verbrenner, 75 PS und Schaltgetriebe Baujahr 2017. Naja.. Ich war gar nicht so begeistert von das Auto, als Verbrenner eine echte Mistkarre, als Elektro vielleicht besser! - auf jeden fall ziemlich eng, vor allem Innen sehr schmal! und das Kofferaum ist ein Witz.. Die Sitze war auch nicht besonders gut, Ich bekam Rückenschmerzen nach 1 Stunde fahrzeit. Sitzposition auch nicht optimal. Der Linke A-Säule behindert das Sicht, sehr unangenehm im Stadtverkehr. Seit zwei Jahren fahre ich einen Renault ZOE, der ZOE ist deutlich besser! viel geräumiger, bequemer, bessere Sitze, grössere Kofferraum, mehr Ausstattung, bessere fahreigenschaften, wirkt moderner, und sieht meiner meinung besser aus.

Der, die, das ZOE - jenes aus 2012 (!) stammende E-Auto, welches letztes Jahr etwas aufgemöbelt wurde? Das weder mit seinen Fahrleistungen, seiner Reichweite, seinem Raumangebot, seiner Ausstattung etc. glänzt, dafür aber mit schlechter Ladeleistung und hohem Preis auffällt? Aha. Im BEV-Bereich ist unter dem Strich der, die, das ZOE in der Tat am ehesten noch vergleichbar mit dem e-up! - bei einem Preisunterschied von 21.975 Euro (die Konzernbrüder noch weniger) zu 21.900 Euro (für einen nackten LIFE R110 Z.E. 40) + 8.090 Euro für die Batterie ist der Renault aber nicht im Geringsten konkurrenzfähig. Abgesehen vom Heimatmarkt (und auch das nur aufgrund der überdurchschnittlich hohen Loyalität der Franzosen zu ihren heimischen Produkten) ist der, die, das ZOE die längste Zeit ein Bestseller gewesen.

But Renault is a lot more expensive and not the big hit if you have to sell it as a used car at least in Germany. Far higher depriciation and insurances, same for spare parts and maintenance. more a kind of a diva if its aging 3+ years. Once in a lifetime ... after 5 years a nightmare.

Heatpump is not that big help - far too expensive and far too less gain on range for 1000€ more. Forget about 1000€ for just 10 -20 km more range. It is not such high amount if the car has reached the climate. the e-up is not that great deal - compared to the e Golf and with a far far better interior, size, quality, package and extras on board. 5000€ more and you get a car with a total different value.
