Audi announced the prices for the Q6 e-tron battery-electric vehicle (BEV) SUVs. The entry-level Q6 e-tron Premium RWD model, which has an impressive 321-mile EPA-estimated range, starts at $65,095, including destination and delivery fees. Buyers can now order a Q6 e-tron with the Audi USA model configurator for deliveries that will begin before the end of the year.

Why the Audi Q6 e-tron matters

The Audi Q6 e-tron is the sweet spot for Audi’s fast-growing BEV lineup.  Audi has already introduced the Q4 e-tron compact crossover and the larger Q8 e-tron models. The Q6 e-tron is more than just a place-filler in the model lineup, however, because the Q6 will directly compete with popular BEVs from other brands, including the BMW iX, Tesla Model Y, Jaguar I-Pace, and Mustang Mach-E. As Audi continues to build the luxury-performance brand, the Q6 e-tron line is a key segment.

The Q6 e-tron family

Proving that its BEV lineup is both wide and deep, Audi offers three Q6 e-tron variants, each in three trim levels. Buyers will start with a drivetrain decision and then choose the luxury and comfort levels. All prices includes destination and delivery fees.

Electrify America EV charging company pilots overuse penalty fees
EV charging company tests program to reduce wait times
Four Electrify America charging stations in a retail shopping parking lot.

Electrify America is testing a program that penalizes overusers with extra fees, hoping to reduce wait times and allow more drivers to charge their EVs. Electrify America has implemented the Congestion Reduction Pilot program at ten especially congested charging locations in southern California.

Despite research showing the current lack of fast EV charging stations isn't a problem for most electric vehicle owners, charger overuse is common. Like panic buyers who clear store shelves of bottled water and toilet paper when bad weather is forecast, too many EV owners hog the hookups by charging their vehicles above the recommended 80 to 85% power levels. Other overusers block access to chargers when they plug in to top off their EV battery while shopping or running errands.
Why over-charging your EV is a bad idea
