Prototype production version of the Audi e-tron heralds a new era of the four rings. The company transforms from a traditional car manufacturers in the mobility system provider offering its customers tailor-made solutions for charging electric vehicles both at home and on the go. Production version of the Audi e-tron is the first car on the market, which in the respective stations can be charged with power up to 150 kW. The electric SUV will then be ready to continue running in just 30 minutes. Its lithium-ion battery by. assumptions cycle WLTP provides coverage of more than 400 kilometers.

Scenario: dancing lights and flashing lightning over the car roof

Faraday cage in a pilot plant Siemens Berlin power switching has dimensions of 42 x 32 x 25 meters. In the world's largest distribution station, a team of electricians and engineers researching discharge pulses whose voltage reaches three million volts. Built in 1958, semicircular hall, hides a voltage pulse generator about the size of a house. In the middle is the prototype of the Audi e-tron. Above his roof, illuminating a 25-meter high room, dancing flashes of light and lightning flash. The direction of discharge was directly addressed by experts in the car. This experiment symbolizes what humanity dreamed of for thousands of years: taming lightning and use their energy. Today, all the time we can not use lightning to charge an electric car, However, engineers have made a significant step in bringing us to the possibility of charging with lightning speed. Prototype production version of the Audi e-tron is the first car on the market, which will be loaded with power up to 150 kW.

Loading traffic: up to 150 kW fast charging stations

For fast charging stations operating in the European standard Combined Charging System (CCS), such as network stations Ionity prototype Audi e-tron is ready for the next stage of a long journey in less than 30 minutes. The key to such a rapid charging is an advanced thermal management system produced by a lithium-ion battery. Battery, placed in the floor of the vehicle, has a capacity of 95 kWh and by. realistic tests conducted in the standard cycle WLTP allows the range of more than 400 kilometers. The new SUV provides high, everyday usability. Until the end of the 2018 uprising nearly 200 fast charging stations (High Power Charging - HPC), each of which will have six positions. Plans predict that by 2020, the motorways and the main transport routes will be built 400 stations,

In addition to the possibility of fast charge constant current source of direct electric SUV it may also be charged on the road, charging stations for AC as standard up to 11 kW and optionally up to 22 kW. Counting all the time, customers can use more than 65,000 public charging stations scattered throughout Europe, and this number this year will increase significantly. With the introduction of the model on the market, thanks to a new service charge, Audi will provide all customers deciding to e-tron simplified access to nearly 80 percent of those stations. No matter whether the car will be loaded DC or variable, or the power of 11 kW or 150 kW - everything a customer needs to begin the process of loading one card. Buyer such a service once must first register on the portal myAudi and conclude an individual contract regarding the charging of the vehicle. Settlements occur automatically and do not require payment in physical form. This procedure will become even easier and more convenient with the introduction Plug & Charge, whose debut is scheduled for the year 2019. Then there will be no need card - the car itself authorizes the station and automatically unlocks the ability to charge.

Long car trip can be scheduled using the application myAudi app or directly on the car. In both cases, the driver's eyes will be selected, suitable route marked with charging points. The navigation system takes into account not only the state of the battery, but also the traffic situation, and the time for charging included in the calculation of the time of arrival. The itinerary includes all DC charging stations and most of the AC charging stations in Europe.

Charging at home: a standard 11 kW, 22 kW optional

Audi offers various solutions for charging the vehicle at home. If the customer expresses such a need, an electrician recommended by a local Audi dealer check the vehicle charging what options are possible in a given location in the garage and install the client the right equipment. Normally, a mobile charging system can be used in two ways: it can be connected to a 230V household outlet - then the charge will have a capacity of 2.3 kW. In contrast, when connected to a 400V three phase socket, charging an output of 11 kW. In the latter case, the battery will charge fully after approx. Eight and a half hours. With the optional system, power load is doubled to 22 kW. The condition is here, however, electrical equipment SUV in the second charger.

The charging system connected to the system of energy management in the home also features intelligent charging. Example: a prototype of the Audi e-tron can be charged with maximum efficiency attainable through your home electrical system, and the car itself, while taking into account the needs of other consumers in the household. This prevents overloading the domestic mains. In addition, customers are free to set their own priorities, for example, charging a car in the hours when electricity is cheaper. If the house is equipped with a photovoltaic system, the car can be charged also energy generated by him, and the charging process will take into account even such conditions as forecasted phase sunlight.

The application allows for convenient myAudi zawiadywanie all processes without leaving your couch. With it, you can plan, run and monitor the charging process, but also pre-heat or cool down the electric SUV. The customer can also, for example. Programmed departure time, and then the Audi e-tron will charge the battery warms or cools the interior in a predetermined time. The application also displays data on loading and driving parameters.
