The Audi e-tron GT may have kicked off Ingolstadt's electric sedan era, but it's clearly priced for early adopters. A different model will try to pull regular Audi buyers into the EV age, and that model was revealed in full this week. The A6 e-tron along with the S6 e-tron, Sportback and Avant variants are on their way, with giant batteries underneath promising plenty of range, reasonably quick launches, as well as fast recharges thanks to 800-volt architectures. Here's what else you can expect from this lineup.
Volkswagen has delayed the US debut of the ID.7 sedan, which was supposed to go on sale stateside this year, citing "market dynamics." And the EV maker has said it won't bring the station wagon version of the ID.7 to our shores at all. But would a slightly sportier ID.7 GTX interest Americans once the base ID.7 sedan eventually finds its way to our ports? The spicier ID.7 GTX is going on sale in Europe right now, but it's not cheap. And it's perhaps a good preview of how much a dual-motor ID.7 with some options could eventually cost here.
Vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging have both been catchy buzzwords thrown around in the EV industry for the past decade or so. And the concepts both sound very logical. But just how close are these technologies to actually being implemented on a large-enough scale? One state is taking small steps in that direction, having mandated utility companies to develop V2G tech. But it's obvious by now that many more EVs and plenty of grid hardware will also be needed if we are to approach this V2G utopia, where thousands of EVs will be able to store power and supply it back to the grid for some kind of benefit. Here's how one company plans to test this concept on a small scale.
