From Battery Life.
Description:
Today I’m testing the Volkswagen e-Caravelle on the German Autobahn at a constant 130 km/h.
This 8-seater electric company car comes with a 64 kWh battery, rear-wheel drive (160 kW), winter tires, and cold winter conditions around 1–3°C.
I wanted to know one thing:
👉 How far can the e-Caravelle really drive at 130 km/h?
In this video you’ll see:
Real-world Autobahn range at 130 km/h
Consumption in winter conditions
Comfort, noise level, and driving impressions
Charging behavior and final range result
Why the newer model with the 71 kWh battery matters
Charging on the road was done using &Charge (Andcharge) — rate chargers, earn kilometers, and convert them into charging credit.
