How Audi Intends to Make EV Charging Easier

With diesel engines in the doghouse in Europe in general—and within the Volkswagen Group in particular—electric vehicles are about to go front and center on the Continent. For its part, Audi will start its electrification push in earnest with the e-tron Quattro, an all-electric SUV sized and priced roughly between the Q5 and Q7 models; it debuted as a prototype last month at the Geneva auto show. It will hit our shores in early 2019 and will be the first of three Audi electric models by 2020, with several more expected by 2025.Anticipating this onslaught of electric models and understanding that the transition to electric propulsion involves more than the vehicle itself, Audi, along with its electric partners, has put some thought into making electric charging easier and more accessible. The company invited us to Germany to show us what it is planning.
