New Audi A3 Sportback e-hybrid battery and range

Our fully electric cars are powered entirely by electricity and produce zero tailpipe emissions. To charge a fully electric car you need to plug it into a charge point, either at home or at an electric charging station.  The electricity is then stored in the car’s rechargeable battery to power the car.Our plug-in-hybrid cars are partially electric. They have a combustion engine and electric motor, giving you the best of both worlds. Plug-in hybrids are ideal for those looking for more range out of their battery while still offering petrol or diesel to fall back on for longer journeys.

Plug-in hybrids need to be plugged into an electric charge point when stationary to top up the battery that drives the electric motor. This can be done at an electric charging station or via a home wall box.

Plug-in hybrid cars require regular servicing, just like any combustion engine car. There are typically two types of service regime available for your Audi (but you should always check with your Audi Centre as exceptions apply). Whichever regime you choose your MMI (Multi-Media Interface) or myAudi account can show you when servicing is due. If you’re using the myAudi or Connect plug and play app, you can be notified automatically when you’re due a service via your smartphone.
