The e-tron also comes with brake energy regeneration that gives the car a longer range of up to 30 percent. Powering the e-tron are two electric motors of – one on each axle – to ensure even distribution of of the 320kW power that it makes. All of this power is sent to all-four wheels via Audi’s Quattro system.
