Unless the R8 e-tron has access to a charging network that is as good as, or better than Tesla’s Supercharger network, then how will Audi be able to show up Tesla? Everyone that knows anything about electric cars will know that Audi hasn’t been able to show up Tesla unless they offer access to a similar network at their launch date. Without having access to such a network this e-tron will just be a really fancy commuter car/toy.
I never said they were doing a good job at it, just that they were trying. :biggrin: I suspect it will probably have DC charging through either the combo charger or CHademo. Given the stats, price, circumstances around the car is being built, and that fact that they're going to be only produced on request, the whole thing screams publicity car to me. While the electric car nuts will know that their DC charging isn't nearly up to the Tesla standard, the average journalist don't know the difference and they're the real target for this car.
