E-Tron Real World Range
Bjorn tested the E-Tron in his typical 90 km/h test and found the winter time range to be 330 km or 205 Miles. He also discovered the E-tron is using 82.6 kWh of the 95kWh battery pack, so as I suspected there is a large buffer. Bjorn said he expected the E-tron will have about 400 km or 250 mile range in the summer with dry roads, which is better than I expected.

Good to hear!

Watched all five videos and I have to say, Bjørn surprised me with his objectivity and newfound appreciation for luxury. Too bad he couldn't get down to the Ionity charger. 150KW charging would have been impressive to see. For -5C, winter tires, and contaminated roads, that 205 figure is acceptable and better than I had feared. The battery temperature management seems top notch.
I think he put me over the top on purchasing |

I think he put me over the top on purchasing I agree he was objective... He pointed out a couple flaws that Audi needs to get a handle on, first the annoying rattle, that came and went. Also the charging plug sticking is an issue. I am also wondering about Audi's regen configuration? Hmm, seems a bit clunkier than I was expecting. |
Really, for an early car, things worked pretty flawlessly. It looks like the draw from running the auxiliary air conditioning kept the charge cord from disconnecting. In another scene, he has the normal heater working while recharging, so maybe some confusion.
Would be nice to have true one pedal driving. I enjoyed that setting on my iPace drive, but then again, the brake feel wasn't linear or smooth on that car so it was a great alternative. |

Yes, E-Tron was great for an initial press car, I was just commenting that Audi should not let their guard down, and should rush to fix those little quibbles. The EV premium segment marketshare is ripe for the picking. I am with you on the 1 pedal driving, although I-Pace 1 pedal is not great if you need to come to a complete stop, or with a full charge. Agree with you having driven I-pace a couple times, the brake pedal feel is a bit quirky. |
Driving on the highways in my state at 55mph (90km/h) isn't exactly ideal with a posted speed limit of 80mph. So, using the consumption values he gave for 120km/h (32.1kwh/100km) and the 82.6kwh capacity, the range at 75mph is about 160 miles. At 65mph, range is estimated at 190 miles. Of course, I doubt I'm going to be happy arriving at the charger or my destination with 0% state of charge so the realistic range is likely 5-10% lower than the ranges we've mentioned. Any headwind will cause a reduction too so real-world range is going to be tough in the winter.

I am more confident now, E-Tron will get about 240 miles EPA, and 23 banana boxes is awesome, ahead of current Model S, and X- 7 seat.

Somebody posted in another thread that he believes that the EPA range will be 225 miles.
