Saar: It will break cover during the Audi Summit in Brussels on August 30, 2018.

Audi has been extensively testing and teasing its first-ever all-electric SUV, the e-tron, for a while now. Now though, the company has announced the production-spec of Audi e-tron SUV will make its world premiere at the Audi Summit in Brussels on August 30, 2018. For the production version of the Audi e-tron, customers will for the first time be able to book various functions online. Although, what those functions will be is something Audi hasn’t shed light upon.

Anyway, that’s then and what we know right now is almost everything about the powertrain. Although the first iterations of the Audi e-tron concept were showcased back in 2015, it was only early this year when Audi opened up about its powertrain. Audi claims that the e-tron is likely to become the first all-electric car that charge at charging stations with up to 150 kW. That means in less than 30 minutes, its onboard batteries will have enough juice to travel 400km. Speaking of which, the battery-pack can store 95kWh worth of juice.

If standing stationary and waiting for your Audi e-tron to juice up isn’t your thing, you need not frown. Audi claims the e-tron will have the capability to charge-up on the move as well, using alternating current (AC). That can be done using either the standard 11 kW AC charger or the optional 22 kW charger. Do the math and you’ll notice that the optional charger will be able to charge the battery pack twice as fast than the standard AC charger but won’t be anywhere close to the times of a DC, stationary charging setup.

But what happens when you are at home? To offer you the best possible solution, Audi engineers will check which charging options can be offered. Audi says that the standard mobile charging system can be used in two ways: with a charging power of up to 2.3 kW when connected to a 230V electricity feed and with up to 11 kW when mated to a 400V three-phase outlet. If the second one is installed, you can have your Audi e-tron fully charged in 8.5 hours. Spend a bit more to get optional connect charging system and the charging power doubles to 22 kW.

It seems then Audi has covered all possible scenarios to meet customer demands. Moreover, it is pretty evident how it plans to charge for extras to make life easier. Good business strategy! The only thing is, Audi hasn’t revealed the power output of the electric engine. When we say engine, we don’t even know how many electric motors will be powering the wheels. For all those details, we will have to wait until the end of August 30 this year, unless someone feels naughty enough and leaks the information beforehand. Fingers crossed!
