Audi A3 e-tron - Electric Vehicle Programme launches in US


Audi have dipped a tentative toe into the Electric Vehicle (EV) sector with a pilot programme in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Denver areas.


The test will involve Audi monitoring the cars' performance in each of the different locations.

Jeff Curry, e-mobility and sustainability strategy lead at Audi of America commented "The A3 e-tron pilot program serves as an important innovation platform for Audi to develop greater insight into electric vehicles and how American driving conditions affect use of the progressive technology in everyday life,”

Audi will also continue research into Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), Battery Electric (EV) and Range-extended Electric vehicles (EVER).

So, the A3 e-tron has a 26 KWH lithium-ion battery and a top speed and range of approx 90 MPH & 90 miles
