Audi e-tron vehicles are fully electric cars and SUVs. While they offer the same sleek style and exciting performance as their gas powered counterparts, these EVs exclusively run on battery power and electric motors. That means you won't have to worry about gas prices anymore.
How many Audi e-tron vehicles are there?
The Audi e-tron series includes a variety of SUVS, Sportbacks, and performance inspired sedans. To appeal to the tastes of lots of different drivers, these EVs are featured in several different models and styles. Currently, the Audi e-tron lineup includes the following vehicles:
- Audi Q8 e-tron
- Audi Q8 Sportback e-tron
- Audi Q4 e-tron
- Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron
- Audi e-tron GT
While every Audi e-tron vehicle can travel far on a single charge, the overall driving range varies from vehicle to vehicle. Additionally, things like how you drive, the outside temperature, and driving conditions can affect your battery, just like they would your fuel consumption in a gas powered vehicle. Overall, Audi e-tron vehicles should be able to get several hundred miles before needing to recharge.
How long do Audi e-tron vehicles take to charge?
The amount of time it takes to charge an Audi e-tron vehicle also varies depending on what you drive. However, the biggest factors in charging time are how low your battery power is and what kind of charging cable/level you're using.
What cables and plugs are compatible with Audi e-tron?Audi e-tron vehicles give you the choice between three charging levels. Level 1 is a 120-volt outlet, which you can find in any home or garage. Since they're the lowest voltage option, Level 1 charging typically takes the longest.
Level 2 charging is the most common choice for EVs. These 240-volt cables can charge an Audi e-tron battery in about 7.5 hours. This makes them a convenient option for commuters who want to plug their car in, let it charge overnight, and hit the road again in the morning.
The fastest charging option is Level 3, or DC Fast Charging. These public stations are ideal for long drives or charging quickly while you're on the road. Ordinarily they can boost a vehicle's battery power by up to 80% in about a half hour.
What is Regenerative Braking?
Regenerative Braking converts the kinetic energy from reducing the vehicle's speed into battery power. While it can't recharge your battery to 100%, it can maximize your battery power and increase the Audi e-tron's driving range.
