Went to an e-tron after but the EV range was useless (~12 miles) and it wasn’t programmed to usefully regen off the brakes. Got a Tesla, reluctantly, bc of the charging network. Couldn’t have traveled as much with another brand but still spent too much time plotting charging sessions.

Wait, Audi made a hybrid E-Tron? I thought it was battery only. The current Gen is a beast. Over 200 miles of range a -2 ton- towing capacity (useful if you live near a lake and need a super cheap to use toy hauler)

The infrastructure bill was/is supposed to boost charging infrastructure, but in my experience the plug-in hybrid is the best way to scale EVs for the most driving profiles (and requires less rare metal per vehicle bc the batteries are smaller.)
