The e-tron marks the dawning of a new era for Audi. The brand with the four rings is being transformed from a classic automotive manufacturer into a premium mobility systems supplier. The Audi e-tron Charging Service will be part of a broad-based offering for charging and provides Europe-wide access to the public charging infrastructure. Audi’s proprietary charging card brings together over 72,000 charging points operated by 220 providers, for unlimited, trouble-free electric mobility.

The driver of the new Audi e-tron can select the degree of energy recovery in three stages using paddles on the steering wheel. In the lowest setting, the Audi e-tron coasts with no additional drag torque when the driver releases the accelerator pedal. The Audi e-tron continues to roll forward. No electricity flows to or from the electric motor while the vehicle is moving. In level 1 (balanced – minimal deceleration) and level 2 (strong – high deceleration), the electric motors generate regenerative brake torque and produce electricity. The electric SUV reduces the speed noticeably – the driver can decelerate and accelerate using just the accelerator pedal. This creates the one-pedal feeling. There is no need to use the brake pedal in this case.
The myAudi app provides for convenient operation with smartphone from the couch. With it, customers can also plan, remotely control and monitor charging processes and the pre-entry climate control of the Audi e-tron. They can set a departure time, for example, so that the electric SUV is charged and/or heated/cooled at the desired time.
The 2019 Audi e-tron will feature Amazon Alexa. With Alexa Built-in, you can ask to play music, listen to audiobooks, hear the news, check the weather, control smart home devices, get directions, find parking, and more—all while you keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road.
