Underneath the e-fuels banner, Audi also includes renewable electricity for recharging its e-tron vehicles (“e-power”) and, should the market so require it, “green” hydrogen (e-hydrogen, derived in the e-gas process). We are trying to build awareness that you can make a climate impact with existing cars. Earlier post.)

Solving the Electric Vehicle Charging Conundrum

Cars That Think

And yet, what about recharging? That means I'd have to recharge at least once. The circuit that you put in for a dedicated what we call Level Two charging station, working at 240 volts, which gives you that 3 to 6 hour complete battery recharge—the circuit you want it probably at 50 amps. And otherwise, it's a single shot.

The (completely flat) battery would thus be fully recharged after six hours. The battery is then 80% recharged after just 30 minutes.
