Green Overdrive: VW’s Electric Golf! [Video]

This week Katie Fehrenbacher goes for a spin in VW's all-electric car the Blue-e-motion Golf.

Volkswagen won't launch their EV until late 2013, or 2014. VW say they intend to wait for the next generation A7 Golf platform so they can make the necessary changes to the vehicle's floor plan to accommodate the 'T' shaped battery pack they intend to use.

The Blue-e-motion also has four driving modes that drivers can use to change how aggressive, or not, the regenerative braking of the car is.
