Default Q8 plug-in hybrid in 2020?

Can somebody confirm that the Q8 will be available as a plug-in hybrid (like the Porsche Panamera) in 2020 or ?

I haven’t seen a date but the SQ 8 is due soon and reported to use a mild 48 volt hybrid system. As I recall it’s good for about 35 miles but also runs the Bosch electric Turbo that provides initial boost to eliminate Turbo lag if they use the 3L turbo. If SC then more initial power. There are other nuances to the system. Google SQ 8 and you should find a lot of detail.
Heres a link to one from Car & Driver:

Available in Europe, end of the year where I am, seemingly not in the US, at least not yet. (I don’t know how reliable this source is.)

Anyone know if we will be able to order 2022my q8s with hybrid plug in power trains? I know 2021 had them in Europe but they said last year they weren’t approved for the US market at that time and we seem to get everything a year later here but I can’t find any info that’s recent only stuff from last fall about 2021’s
