Used electric Audi cars for sale

Popular Audi electric cars

Audi’s first mainstream electric car was the e-tron, a large family SUV that arrived at the same time as the similarly sized and priced Jaguar I-PACE and Mercedes EQC.

Now, though, ‘e-tron’ is a suffix given to any of its electric models, so you can pick from SUVs like the Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron and Q8 e-tron (which the original e-tron morphed into after a badge change), as well as newer models like the A6 e-tron.

Types of Audi electric cars

Many of the first Audi electric cars for sale were SUVs, and that’s for two main reasons – firstly, we Brits love buying and driving these high-riding family cars, but secondly, it’s generally easier to package an electric car’s motors and batteries in this bigger form factor.

Then came the sporty e-tron GT, a sporty four-door performance coupé with Tesla-like acceleration and a price tag to match.

More recently, we’ve seen Audi introduce new body shapes to its electric portfolio, including the five-door A6 saloon and the A6 Avant estate, both of which are now available with the electrified e-tron makeover.

Audi electric car performance

All used Audi electric cars for sale deliver impressive performance, combining instant torque with smooth and silent acceleration.

Many of the more powerful models use twin-motor setups and all-wheel drive, which isn’t just good for putting large amounts of power down but also helps to provide more confidence in wet and slippery conditions.

Audi electric car running costs

Audi electric cars for sale come with a wide range of battery sizes, but you can typically expect cheaper running costs if you have access to a home charger.

For example, even the massive 100kWh battery in the A6 e-tron could cost as little as £7 to fully charge with an off-peak rate (7pkWh), giving you more than 450 miles of claimed range.

However, pay for the convenience of public rapid charging and you could pay more than ten times that, with typical DC chargers costing upwards of 79p/kWh, bringing the total to £79.

Audi electric car technology

Audi electric cars for sale are loaded with high-end technology, from virtual cockpit digital displays and advanced driver assistance systems to continually improved infotainment systems that support over-the-air (OTA) updates.

You can’t look at an Audi electric car’s technology without also considering the running gear – things like the battery, which is engineered for range and efficiency, high-power charging speeds and efficiency-boosting heat pumps.
