I’m considering the Mercedes-Benz E-Tron too! I’ve heard it has a solid home charging setup with options for both Level 2 chargers and smart home integrations. Any recommendations?

Don’t forget about public charging! The E-Tron is compatible with the Electrify America network. It’s easy to find and has fast charging options so you can grab 80% in about 30 minutes.

That’s good to know! How does the charging time compare at home vs. public charging?

18

Great question! Charging at home with a Level 2 setup can take about 9 hours for a full charge, while public DC fast chargers can significantly reduce that time to around 30 minutes. Planning your charging is key!

I’ve found that the user interface for finding charges on the Audi app is super helpful too. Makes it easy to spot charging stations nearby, especially when traveling.
