You don’t need to buy a Porsche Taikang to enjoy years of free charging. Audi revealed that Etron GT buyers in 2022 will receive three years of free DC fast charging just like their counterparts in Taycan.
If you can find the right charging station, you can charge your electric sports car from 5% to 80% for free in 22 minutes. In other words, you may not pay a penny for interstate travel or long-distance travel. This may be important when the estimated range of the E-Tron GT reaches 238 miles.
You are more likely to buy an electric car. If the price of long-distance travel is not a problem, then there is an obvious reason for competition: Tesla occasionally resumes free supercharge as an incentive to buy cars. If you insist on paying for battery charging, Audi may lose business. As before, the challenge is coverage.
Electrify America expects to have 800 charging stations in the United States by the end of 2021, but as of March 2020, Tesla has more than 908 super charging stations in the country. If there are not enough charging stations on the planned route, free charging may not matter. Only when the coverage is truly ubiquitous, can Audi gifts reach their full potential.
