electric audi e-tron makes range anxiety ‘thing of the past’ - home battery system

SAN FRANCISCO—
There is no doubt that I have one of the best jobs in the world.
Last Monday night, I was sitting on the beauty of San Francisco. stories-
The tall boat that used to visit Mississippi, paddle-
Travel through San Francisco Bay to an old Ford factory for the unveiling of the latest Ford car factory.
2019 Audi e-made electric luxury car by major international car manufacturerstron.
I am one of the thousands on this ship, and like all others, I am eating shrimp cocktails and clam chowder soup and growling in numerous bars (
Though, in my case, the libation chosen is sarsaparilla instead of scotch)
And think about the many wonders of e-commerce
I will see it soon.
I said "many miracles" because, while I haven't really seen the car yet, I spent most of the day attending a series of workshops before this cruise, audi executives told me at the seminar about everything I wanted to know about the car and the company about the next five or six years of the electrified program.
For example, doctor
Peter Mertens, who is in charge of Audi's technology development, said at a seminar called "e-commerce"
Tron is the start of "the company plans to sell 800,000 electric cars and plugs by 2025"
Hybrid cars every year
It is about the third of its output.
I learned it too.
Or realize-
China is driving this market for electricity, and more than one moderator mentioned smog --
Cities in this country are choking, and what needs to be done before everyone living there dies from asthma.
For me at least, it is now clear that while consumers in North America and Europe are important to people who make cars, what really matters is China, where it is 1.
3 billion people
About the world's population.
Live, work and buy things.
I have an open mind, ready to accept almost everything people tell me, but the other thing I hear during the day on Monday is by 2025 (
This is what my notes say;
The host will most likely say "in the next decade ")
Among all the new cars sold, electric cars accounted.
I think, considering that electric vehicles currently account for only about the global car sales, we can say that we are optimistic (
Interesting, including China).
That being said, Audi-
For any forward-
Thinking Company-
Want the best-
Possible world and highlight the remaining lineup of 2025 will consist of plug-ins
Traditional gasoline hybridand diesel-
Power internal combustion engine and-yes —even hydrogen-powered cars.
In any case, when our Mississippi Show Boat is close to the coast, the excitement is high, and when the first of several surprises is thrown, the excitement seems to have exploded.
Fireworks were a big deal a long time ago.
They are still in some areas.
But Audi is known for its four rings and organizers, rather than being detonated by a pyrologist named Jason "three fingers" McGuinty with a series of crowns and cold frost, releasing about 300 drones, once the drones are lit and in place, they can trace the contours of these four rings in the twilight sky.
Think of a group of fireflies and four --
Audi nameplate hovering in the air, you know what I'm talking about.
In that old factory, things became very interesting because the car was finally unveiled.
This is an attractive five. seater, all-wheel-drive, mid-
SUV size with all the latest technology-they say —
Charge more than 400 kilometers.
Interim CEO Abraham Short said, "scope anxiety has become the past.
It was explained that this was due to email
The rest and recuperation system of Tron accounts for about 30 of the travel distance.
The energy is recovered and put back into the battery by the driver moving his or her feet off the throttle and taxiing or using the brakes.
In both cases, the motor becomes a generator and converts the kinetic energy back to the electrical energy.
Now that you know the car has a range, you should also know that it is as fast as a pure stallion --
It can range from zero to 100 km/h in 6 hours.
6 seconds, up to 200 km/h-
Tough like Clydesdale, able to drag 1,800 (4,000 pounds).
The car will not appear in the Canadian showroom until the beginning of 2019, and the price has not been determined (the U. S.
The price announced last Monday night will be seen.
Tron starts at $74,800).
That being said, you can go to Audi if you want to buy one.
Ca website and place order.
Okay, I know more about this car.
There will be a drive later-hopefully.
The car is 4,901 long, 1,935 wide, 1,616 high and 660 liters of cargo space.
The car is driven by two motors (
1 Each axis)
With 300 KW and 664 Nm (489. 7 lb. -ft. )of torque. The front-
Rear axle motor output 125 KW rear axle motor output 140 KW.
The battery system can store up to 95 KW of the energy, which is flat between the two axles under the Passenger Department.
A piece of aluminum at the bottom of the car protects the battery from the damage of the components.
By the way, the battery system is liquid. cooled.
In order to obtain the best performance of the electric vehicle, the battery and motor must be kept at the right temperature.
To keep its focus on recycling, excess heat from electronics is sent back to the climate --control system.
Audi is important for the owner's ability to charge the car at home, indicating that the capacity of the battery makes it necessary to stop during the day for unnecessary lifting under normal driving conditions.
If you have a 120 v or 240 v plug in your garage, electronics
Tron takes 10 hours to charge, but you can go to 400.
If you have a quick charger (
About $1,000 in investment)
It only takes 4 to 5 hours.
However, they said that if you go on vacation and have to stop and charge at the charging station, you can reach 80 capacity in about half an hour.
In the cabin, the driver has two interactive touch screens that can be used for almost any function, driver assistance, infotainment systems, and other elements (voice commands)
Almost all modern cars have become very standard. The e-
However, the tron route planner is interesting because you can type in where you want to go and it will take you there via the nearest charging station (s).
Not only does the planner calculate how much juice is in your battery, but also the traffic density, so that when it estimates how long it will take you from A to B, it almost needs to take everything into account.
One of the most prominent things on Monday
Really outstanding.
It is the description and explanation of the virtual external mirror, which reduces the resistance and increases the range.
Instead of the mirror attached to each front door --
We all know how big those mirrors are. the almost-
The flat panel installation contains two miniature cameras that transmit external images to the internal screen.
Unfortunately, the North American regulationsat the moment —
Don't allow mirrors other than traditional mirrors, but Audi is currently lobbying to change this particular rule.
By the way, this is an example of some issues last Monday.
Most of the discussion
For example, the charging network
It's about Europe.
Or America.
Throughout the day, I heard people mention Canada, which is in the context of "The United States and southern Canada.
Having said that, it is instructive to see how car manufacturers, particularly Audi, have promised to be electrified.
It's a changing world, and it seems that electrified has unleashed the imagination and creativity of the industry, which has been drifting for the past while not really doing a lot of things.
