One of the most frequently asked questions about the new Audi e-tron models available at Audi Birmingham regards how this new EV will handle a long road trip. And while there will surely be adjustments you’ll have to make to your typical road trip routine, it is still very easy to take a long road trip in a new Audi e-tron.
Range and Charging
Obviously, charging your Audi e-tron battery will never be as fast as just filling up at a gas station. However, if you consider the number of meal, bathroom, and sleep stops you’ll make on a typical 2,000-mile road trip, you can work a majority of the charging time into your schedule without much delay. Rather than hitting a drive thru and restroom separately, find a restaurant near a charging station for a sit-down meal instead. You’ll enjoy stretching your legs and shaking off some fatigue while your e-tron recharges, and in less than an hour you’ll be ready to hit the road for another 220 miles of driving.
Power and Practicality
Just like with your combustion engine, the overall range of your EV is affected by your driving habits. That said, the 355-horsepower and 414 pound-feet of torque offered by the twin-electric motors means you should be operating at a fairly modest level of power while simply cruising down the highway. In addition, the 2021 Audi e-tron can tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped, just keep in mind that this will reduce your overall range, especially if you’re stuck in stop and go traffic.
