Audi Range Behaviour

Adopting an economical driving style will have the biggest positive influence on your range.

The chemical make-up of Audi e-tron model batteries means that it’s at its most efficient when outdoor temperatures are between 20°C and 30°C.

Freezing Temps of around 0 to 5°C: Average loss around 22-28%, but can be 10-20% for some, and as high as 30-40% in extreme cold.

Most auxiliary systems in a car require electrical power from the battery, with heating and air conditioning consuming the most energy on an electric vehicle – up to 30%.

Like a conventional combustion-powered car, the type of driving you’re doing, such as motorway or city driving, will affect its energy consumption - and therefore its range.

Precondition while plugged in:

Cooling or heating the car from the my Audi app while it’s being charged can improve the range significantly and minimise battery drain.

Use heated seats/steering wheel:

These direct heating methods use much less energy than heating the entire cabin through air vents.

Use Cruise Control:

Maintain a steady speed on motorways for better efficiency.

Maximize recuperation:

Let the car slow down naturally to recover energy, use B mode on the drive selector in city driving where possible. An electric Audi car can harvest the kinetic energy generated by braking and coasting, then converts it to an electric charge that’s channelled back to the battery.

Choose ‘Efficiency’ mode
Audi e-tron cars have an economical driving mode which helps maximise your range. ‘Efficiency’ mode changes settings that will help extend your range.
