Whilst it even now athletics the same measurement battery (95 kilowatt-hours), Audi manufactured some hardware and application optimizations and increased out there battery capacity from the 2021 product calendar year onward. As a final result, the EPA range estimate has jumped from 204 miles to 222 miles, although the intake estimate improved from 46 kilowatt-hrs for every single 100 miles to 43 kWh for the identical distance.
