About the premiere single-seater of a savings from VW at the IAA, we had already reported, the details are now known. VW Nils is the somewhat quaint name of the study, with the Volkswagen travels to Frankfurt. The single-seater is yet another electric midget of the group next to the Urban Concept Audi. The Nils in VW-seater open-wheel design is intended to serve as a research vehicle. Three meters long, 1.4 meters wide and only 1.2 meters of electricity, will be entered via double doors.

VW calls its aluminum construction for an empty weight of 460 pounds. The power is delivered by an electric motor with 25 kW maximum powers that can be demanded but only for short sprints. In normal operation of the e-motor with 15 kW on the road. The range should be 65 kilometers, which is limited Nils as a pure city car. When 5.3 kWh power storage works comprehensive lithium-ion battery, charging time at the outlet: about two hours. For city driving the speed limit drops from the VW Nils quite abundant: up to 130 km / h it can be run – for commuters from the countryside with a good argument.
