Hi Battista,
I apologise for writing in english but my german is seriously bad.
Do I understand you correctly: you can drive 45km on one electric charge?
I have my Q7 55 TFSIe since one month and I never managed to get past 20km driving electric only on one full charge. (Effiency, short trips 7-10km, 21" wheels, air conditioning on 21 degree, outside temperature outside 3-5 celsius.)
The battery loads up to 14.4Kwh and the MMI gives a a 43KM forecast but the battery drains much faster than the forecast expects and the actual mileage is 19-20km.
I had the car checked by the local audi car dealer and they told me the car is all ok. I am wondering whether I am doing something wrong or that is simply what you can get out from a Q7 with a 17Kw battery under those conditions.
Best regards,
G.
Realistic is 30 km with full chaarge. In summer.
In winter charging sometimes ends at a range of 39 to 42km reducing the range. So 20kms up and downhill electric only in winter is realistic.
To get a further distance driving electrical you need a strategy in a way that you switch to petrol as soon as the road ahead goes up and you have to use the tempomat if you drive downhill cause it will extra (and better) charge the battery and this may give you 2km extra once you are downhill.
Depends on where you live if electrical driving is affordable. Our charging stations went up from 39 Cents to 60 cents per kw recently, you need 16kw to fill up the battery and if you only get 25km its expensive.
Friend of mine has a roof full of collectors so he sees it different.
In Germany if you are not an elecricity maniac you buy such a car for tax reasons. You get a statal refund of some thousand euros and the car tax is massively reduced to 60 euros. Thats the reason why you buy it.
