Yesterday morning, Volkswagen Norway opened orders for the new 2014 Golf electric vehicle. Within 3 and a half hours, over 1200 orders had been placed.

According to Volkswagen Norway’s Anita Svanes, “This is amazing! The demand has been tremendous and we already have noticed great interest from customers.” Due to the incredible demand, Volkswagen is considering increasing the production on the e-Golf.

Of the 72 Volkswagen dealerships in Norway, 65 of them have signed up to sell the golf.

The Volkswagen e-Golf will launch in the U.S. in Fall 2014.
