The Volkswagen XL1 plug-in diesel-electric hybrid is available only in Europe and its 5.5 kWh lithium-ion battery delivers an all-electric range of 50 km (31 mi),[2] has a fuel economy of 0.9 l/100 km (260 mpg‑US; 310 mpg‑imp) under the NEDC cycle and produces emissions of 21 g/km of CO2.[5] The XL1 was released to retail customers in Germany in June 2014.[2]
