EV Channels Review

This episode of EV Revolution Show covers a range of EV news, with a significant focus on the Audi e-tron launch. The reviewer highlights the e-tron's premium positioning, SUV form factor, and impressive performance figures, including a 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds and a 4,000-pound towing capacity. Key technical details like the 95 kWh battery, 150 kW DC fast charging capability, and a WLTP range of 400 km (248 miles) are noted. The reviewer commends Audi's proactive approach to infrastructure support, including contributions to Electrify America, the e-tron charging service card, and a partnership with Amazon for home charging solutions. While acknowledging the lack of EPA range figures and virtual mirrors in North America, the reviewer finds the e-tron to be a well-executed premium EV, albeit with a high starting MSRP of $74,800 USD. The show also touches upon a Wood Mackenzie study on well-to-wheel GHG emissions, Canadian EV sales figures showing a surge led by the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, and the upcoming $35,000 Tesla Model 3. A brief update on the Microlino microcar and eCamion's DC fast charger network expansion in Northern Ontario and Manitoba is also provided.
