While you consider these hints and tips, it’s important to remember that our advertised range figures are intended as a guide only and are derived from WLTP testing in specific conditions under moderate ambient temperatures. In real-world conditions, your electric range will generally differ due to various factors which may have a positive or negative impact.
Depending on your circumstances, there are ways to improve the range you can achieve from your electric Audi. Have a look at these useful hints and tips on how to maximise your mileage.
Set a higher recuperation rate
An electric Audi can harvest the kinetic energy generated by braking and coasting, and converts it to an electric charge that’s channeled back to the battery. This is known as recuperation.
You can select the intensity of recuperation automatically or manually. In automatic mode, the car decides when and how to recuperate by analysing the driving situation. In manual mode, you can select three recuperation levels via a paddle on the steering wheel¹.
Selecting a stronger level will increase the recuperation intensity, harvesting more energy, and therefore maximising your range.
In real-world conditions, your electric range will generally differ due to various factors which may have a positive or negative impact. Learn all about it in our easy guide film.
