ELECTRIC AUDI E-TRON TOWING - YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH RANGE WE LOST!

EV Channels Review

This video details a towing test with a 2019 Audi E-Tron 55 Quattro, hauling a Smart car. The reviewer highlights significant range reduction, averaging between 0.9 to 1.2 miles per kilowatt-hour, a substantial decrease from its typical efficiency. Despite the "thirsty beast" nature when towing, the E-Tron is praised for its comfortable and stable towing experience, outperforming even a Land Cruiser in this regard. The reviewer notes the car's air suspension effectively manages the load and that the drivetrain showed no thermal limitations. However, the lack of trailer lights presented a challenge, and the overall towing experience underscores the necessity of ample charging infrastructure for EV towing, suggesting that towing with EVs significantly impacts real-world range, cutting it by approximately 75%. The video also touches on the car's luxurious interior and charging capabilities on lower-power stations.
