Under a venture with the motto “From Road to Grid”, Audi is therefore currently working on a concept to convert old batteries into stationary energy stores. A first test setup located near Ingolstadt recently started supplying the grid. Installation of CCS charging stations has already begun in Europe and the United States.

The most powerful diesel variant will feature a six-cylinder engine incorporating advanced SCR exhaust technology, with an output of 190 kW (258 hp) and a peak torque of 620 N·m. The sophisticated aerodynamics also minimize wind noise. l/100 km (112 mpg US). In addition to this, the four-cylinder unit is exceptionally refined.

Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle. Most major petrol companies have also installed EV chargers at many of their sites.
