“Sophisticated refinement has always been a truly Audi expression of driving progress and innovation, and this has never been more evident than in the form of our first-ever electric vehicles: the Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback,” said Paul Sansom, Managing Director of Audi Australia.
“Around the world, those who have never driven an electric vehicle before have been captivated by the way the Audi e-tron brings refined silence, effortless performance and zero-emission driving together in such a seamless fashion.”
All e-tron vehicles with a comprehensive customer offer that includes a 6-year subscription to the Chargefox charging network. The subscription provides e-tron owners with access to all ultra-rapid, and selected fast and standard, chargers within the Chargefox network.
