The Audi e-tron is the first all-electric high-end model from the prestigious Ingolstadt automaker. More than 20,000 orders have already been registered for this model, which is expected at the brand’s official dealer network in Europe next week. With a fleet of 50 e-trons, the company once again demonstrates the model’s practicality in the snow-capped Swiss mountains, with their challenging weather and terrain.

Three mobile charging containers with a combined output of 700 kW and 1.14 MWh, developed by Audi, will quickly charge the heavily used e-tron fleet with green electricity from renewable sources. An Audi research project is exploring the possibility of reusing used batteries in electric models. After the end of the active phase of the use of electric vehicles, high-voltage batteries are still suitable for use in various energy storage systems. In this regard, Audi specialists are testing various scenarios for the most efficient use of available resources. The company is currently using the containers as charging stations for large events,

Through this research project, the Audi brand is making a clear commitment to upholding the values ​​declared by the Global Battery Alliance at the World Economic Forum. The alliance includes companies and individuals from the public and private sectors working throughout the battery supply and manufacturing chain and aims to ensure the social and environmental sustainability of the value chain in the extraction and use of natural raw materials for battery production. To this end, the GlobalBattery Alliance closely monitors the processes and conditions of raw material extraction, cares about the creation of sustainable recycling concepts to achieve a closed economic chain, and encourages innovative developments that contribute to sustainable development in the field of battery cells.

Audi has supported the World Economic Forum as an exclusive transportation partner since 1987. The 49th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum will be held in Davos from 22 to 25 January 2019.
