THE SPARK INSIDE ELECTRIC
Innovation is built into every Audi. The plug-in hybrid and fully electric cars are no exception. With sophisticated batteries, forward-thinking navigation systems that build charging into your journey and innovative driving systems for safety and control, an electrified Audi is a leap into smarter driving. Audi is fully committed to finding sustainable ways to strive forward and protect the planet and they are planning that 40% of all new vehicles will be electrified by 2025.

GO ELECTRIC
There are many pros to going electric. Audi has transformed itself from a classic premium manufacturer into a system provider for electromobility. There's a comprehensive range of charging options with intelligent solutions for at home and on the move so you can drive electrically without compromise.
As well as fully electric, Audi have a growing range of plug-in hybrids. Plug-in hybrid cars use both a combustion engine and an electric motor. To recharge the battery that drives the electric motor, they are plugged into a power supply when stationary. All offer the economy of an electric motor, backed up by the performance and reliability of an Audi combustion engine.

Electric Ownership
Cost Effective
With electricity currently cheaper* than petrol or diesel, it could cost less than you think to keep your electric vehicle charged. With 95% of car journeys in the UK being less than 25 miles** most of your journeys can be covered by charging at home using a home wall box.
When carrying out longer journeys, there are now thousands of public charging stations scattered across the UK with new ones being added every day. Charging your car battery has never been simpler.
Once you have selected which charging unit you will be using, a home wall box or a public charging point, you will need to connect to your cars charging point
Best of both worlds
On plug-in hybrid cars, you will only have an AC port and on fully electric Audi cars, you will have both AC/DC ports. If the charging unit is a home wall box or AC charger that is untethered, you can use the charging cable (Type 2, Mode 3) that comes as standard. If you’re using a DC charging station, the cable will be attached to the unit, ready for you to use.
Once connected all that is left is to let the car charge. When the charging LED light flashes green it is working. If you lock the car, the charge will continue and the cable will remain locked to the car until you return. Charging is complete when the LED light stops flashing and remains green. Using your myAudi app on your smartphone, you can track the charging level.
Home charging
A wall box is the best way to charge your electric Audi at home. A 7kW home wall box charges your car overnight, so it’s ready for the morning journey. The recommended wall box supplier, Pod Point, can help you choose a charging unit and even guide you through the process of applying for a grant. Audi recommend that you use a wall box to charge your electric Audi over a 3-pin socket. However, occasionally you may want to charge your car using a 3-pin socket, therefore your electric Audi also comes with a Compact Charging System^^, to help you connect
Charging at home can help you take advantage of cheaper night time electricity rates and can save you from making trips to public charging stations.
Peace of mind
There are a long list of benefits to owning an electric Audi, not only are they better for the environment, they also provide cheaper running costs, around two-thirds cheaper than petrol or diesel. When driving a plug-in hybrid or a fully electric vehicle in electric mode, there are no tailpipe emissions released, which is much better for the environment
The average home electricity cost is currently 14.37p/kWh, which means that with an e-tron 55 for example, you can travel for around 6p per mile compared to 19p per mile on an average diesel car*. Many electricity providers are even offering specific home electric vehicle tariffs which could make your running costs even cheaper.
Designed to last
Designed to last the entire life cycle of the car, all Audi high-voltage batteries for Audi plug-in hybrids and fully electric have been fully crash tested and come with an eight years, or 100,000 miles warranty, whichever comes first. In addition to this, all other parts of your electric Audi are covered for up to three years after purchase.
Electric vehicles also have less moving parts compared to a combustion engine meaning they don't need servicing as often. On a pure electric vehicle there are just three components. The on-board charger, the inverter and the motor. An internal combustion engine, in comparison has a lot more moving parts, meaning it requires more maintenance to keep everything running smoothly.
Congestion and road tax savings
Plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles (less than 50g/km of CO₂) are currently exempt for paying VED (in the 21/22 tax year) . As well as this, electric vehicles qualify for the 100% cleaner vehicle discount, which means exemption from the congestion charge and are exempt from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). For the 100% discount, owners will need to register for the scheme.
The low or zero emissions from plug-in and fully electric vehicles will mean lower charges from the Clean Air Zones being implemented across the UK and the Ultra-Low Emission Zone in London. Drivers can find out more, please get in touch with your local council.

Since this is an average, the efficiency of individual models may be less, which would mean you receive fewer than the maximum 10,000 free miles. The efficiency figure is also based on standardised test data after the battery had been fully charged (to 100%) and may not reflect real world driving. Actual efficiency differs depending on multiple variables, including your selected vehicle and configuration, accessories fitted (post-registration), variations in weather, driving styles, route conditions, speed, vehicle age, battery age and temperature and vehicle load. The actual number of free miles you receive may be less than the maximum 10,000 miles and will depend on the actual efficiency of your selected EV in the real world. Offer is for an estimated number of free miles calculated on the basis of the costs to the customer when they 'smart charge' using 'Charge Anytime'. Electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. For the latest information, including official WLTP range and power consumption data for your selected vehicle, please visit the configurator. Offer available to retail and contract hire customers.
*According to UK Power the average electricity cost is currently (January 2020) 14.37p/kWh

Lithium-ion batteries, of the type used in most electric vehicles (including Audi electric vehicles) have a restricted lifespan. Battery capacity will reduce over time, with use and charging. Reduction in battery capacity will affect the performance of the vehicle, including the range achievable, and may impact resale value. New car performance figures (including battery capacity and range) may be provided for the purposes of comparison between vehicles. You should not rely on new car performance figures (including battery capacity and range), in relation to used vehicles with older batteries, as they will not reflect used vehicle performance in the real world. For further information on batteries and the Audi 8 year/100,000 mile battery warranty, please visit https://www.audi.co.uk/uk/web/en/electric/faqs/battery.html
