Is there an electric A4 in your future?

Years ago my response would have been pretty negative to this news. But now I think if the technology is mature and gives me reliability, good range, and power, then sure why not.

It'll be interesting learning how to hot rod an electric.

No EV in my near term future as I park in a parking lot at home with no access to power.

All I can say at my age is no way Jose! I will take my 2012 S5 V8 to my grave.

When it can go 400 miles in the winter with the heat running, then it's ready to replace ICE. That all the manufacturers are skipping the obvious solution, electric motor drivetrain and an ICE generator, is a bit annoying.

Guess that little bitch-slap the US gov gave VW got them back in line didn't it. Go green new deal or we'll cancel you.

If audi doesn't make the b10 electric I'll be going with a different brand. The only thing I feel like the a4 is missing is the electric powerband.

I suspect range will be a realistic 400miles by the time combustion Audis go away 7-8 years from now.

The BMW i3 REx (range extender) is what you describe, and it hasn't been very effective/popular (neither was the Volt). "BMW believes its time has nearly come and rang the death bell for the i3 REx...In a discussion about battery technology at the auto show, Freimann declared lithium-ion battery technology is advanced enough to leave range-extenders out of electric cars"

The announced ICE ban by the UK (2030), and proposals in the EU (2035) and elsewhere, probably have more impact than a fine by the US over diesel cars nearly four years ago.

The lucid air has 517 miles of range. By 2024 range will not be an issue. Even if you only had 300 miles of range how often do you drive that far in a single day. Electric cars are meant to be recharged every night and will be full every morning.
