The bus recharges at stops using its roof-mounted contacts that engage using laser guidance. As this current is up to 10 times less than would be the case without storage, the connection can be made with a cheaper and more readily available low-power supply. The innovative technology was developed by ABB engineers in Switzerland.

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). The e-gas plant only operates when there is too much electricity from renewable sources in the grid.

Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. kW DC/DC converter integrated into the power electronics is responsible for supplying the vehicle’s 12-V power circuit and thus works like a transformer. The battery is then charged from the grid at a power level of 2.3 As a new car the e-up!
