We get 115-120 for real world urban driving. However, if you boot it on the motorway, you’ll soon get range anxiety...how many miles does i3 normally do on one charge - plus minus, that is...

Highway - Cold Weather | 100 mi |
Highway - Mild Weather | 130 mi |
City - Cold Weather | 145 mi |
City - Mild Weather | 225 m |
ndication of real-world range in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. The actual range will depend on speed, style of driving, weather and route conditions.
My MkI Scirocco (1983) was very agricultural: I never enjoyed driving it. It had a very British Leyland “parts bin” feel about itScirocco and Corado were Golf with different body as well...
They already have! They are called Q4/Q5. I don't think a converted A2 would cope with the weight!Back to my point, it would be nice to see Audi do the same again and squeeze 100kWh ish into an A2 EV, maximise aero performance, minimise weight etc. Take the MEB platform and push it to its limits.
Not necessarily true - the Zöe is almost the same size as an A1, to the millimetre. However as Audi can't make an efficient EV yet, they'd probably only get around 80-90 miles range, which nobody would (rightly) consider as viable to plow vast sums of money into.The problem with the A1 as an EV is size; it will be too limited in range. With current battery technology, longer range means a larger car.

240 to 150 miles is a big step! In that case, you should add the current E-Up. 150 miles would be insufficient for me, especially for France, where there are large gaps in charger availability.So the Fiat 500e and e-Corsa are also exceptions. Both are actually smaller than an A1, but yet can get over 150 miles in certain configurations according to EV DB. Oh and the e-208 and Mini E. The Mokka E is another exception as is the DS3 E-Tense. There's a lot of exceptions really.
The Zoe has a range of up to 240 miles.It is indeed, but no mention of longer ranges was made prior to this. I therefore reasonably considered cars which can give a good 2 hours of motorway service, before needing a recharge, or around 150 miles.
That's why I didn't buy an Audi.But again, there's nothing south of £50k approx which Audi sells that meets or exceeds your range requirements.
I payed just over £30k for my ID3 (ex-demo). A Tesla Model 3 is now from £42.5k.If it's european range which is the main requirement, then a Tesla M3 should really have been the main choice, as it enjoys the best network without question and only costs around £4k more than the ID.3, but actually total cost of ownership costs less when depreciation is accounted for.
Ok, so what do you want to hear about the topic? It's a story that's at least 10 years old now - that the A2 will be re-born as an EV. So far, it's not happened. If it does, it'll be at least £30K and will be nothing like an original A2, but will just be a smaller Q4 and will feel no different to any other Audi from the drivers seat.Getting so sick and tired of all these threads now continually getting side tracked. Either stick to the topic or START A NEW THREAD.
