The Audi e-tron boasts an innovative battery design engineered for repeatable performance, longevity, and highest levels of safety, accompanied by the highest technological infotainment and driver assistance systems.

A 95 kilowatt hour battery pack provides the electric range that makes the e-tron capable of meeting the majority of everyday driving needs, and is designed to handle repeated accelerations and highway cruising speeds, and built to provide reliable performance and drivability. With the e-tron, Audi introduces a new generation of quattro drive as standard: electric all-wheel drive.

This new system enables the electric SUV to achieve optimum traction in a variety of weather conditions and on challenging road surfaces. Engineered for both AC and DC charging via the widespread SAE Combined Charging System (CCS), the Audi e-tron – in an industry first to-date – debuts a DC fast charging capability of up to 150 kW available at select high-speed public charging stations, which can deliver up-to an 80 percent charge in approximately 30 minutes.

Audi and Amazon will deliver a first-ever in-home electric vehicle setup through Amazon Home Services for the e-tron, which offers an available installation of a 240 volt charging system in the customer’s home garage or other location, including 1,000 kWh of charge powered by Electrify America.
