Audi has stated that by 2026, every Audi that is developed will be fully electric, in a bid to become a leading provider of sustainable mobility. The German marque will accelerate this process with the new Audi charging service, its one-stop shop for EV charging, allowing drivers to charge conveniently almost anywhere in Europe.
The new Audi charging service will start on 1 January 2023 across 27 countries, in Europe, including the U.K., and will be expanded over the course of the year. It offers access to approximately 400,000 charging points across the continent, operated by more than 800 different charge point operators, including roughly 1,900 high-performance chargers from Ionity.
New customers as well as drivers of current Audis will switch to the new service with the choice of three different tariffs For its new charging offering, Audi is cooperating with Volkswagen Group Charging GmbH and its Elli brand.
The Audi e-tron Charging Service, which was launched four years ago after the introduction of Audi's first fully electric model, will be replaced, and new customers as well as drivers of current Audi models will switch to the new service with a choice of three different tariffs that include basic, plus and pro.
Customers will be able to charge at competitive rates from day one and for those who purchase a fully electric vehicle, Audi will subsidise the base fee for the pro tariff for the first year.
The location of compatible charging points on the Audi charging service is integrated into the vehicle's Multi Media Interface The pro tariff is aimed at EV drivers who frequently have to charge on the road. In the U.K., the monthly base fee is $21.01, but drivers are offered a lower price of $0.57/kWh at AC charging points and $0.70/kWh at fast DC charging points. Recharging on Ionity is even more attractive, with the pro tariff costing only $0.50/kWh.
The location of compatible charging points on the Audi charging service is integrated into the vehicle's MMI and in the myAudi app, which can be used to send a pre-planned route to the car.
