E-Tron efficiency numbers

Audi e-tron first drive review: a solid SUV that happens to be electric

at 515 kWh/mi seems like they missed the mark on this, 95kwh battery and only about 200 mi. range?

Audi e-tron first drive review: a solid SUV that happens to be electric

at 515 kWh/mi seems like they missed the mark on this, 95kwh battery and only about 200 mi. range?

I wonder what those numbers would be if that had driven 55-65 mph instead of:
."..mostly driving at 120 to 140 km/h (75 to 87 mph) on the highway, which is relatively fast."

Definitely not ideal for a range test but still a very high number, it will be interesting to see the official EPA numbers when they come out and eventually how difficult (or easy) it will be to get those in actual usage

I think they're pushing this one at the Audi loyalists. They made compromises in efficiency to make it an Audi SUV powered by electric motor. 200-mi range is more than plenty for most people's daily commutes. For longer trips the fast charge speed could be viewed as equal if not a better feature than longer range.

Both e-tron and I Pace have pretty mediocre efficiency even though they are still no where near Tesla's acceleration. Their boxy shapes probably account for some of the efficiency loss but there is little question that Tesla is way ahead in EV technology.

I don't care what other car companies do, I love Tesla.

Might be like here, dangerous to go that slow.
