Why did you choose this electric car?

I have been driving Audis for over 25 years so felt confident it would be good. This is my second e-tron having bought one of the very first ones back in May 2019. I loved it so much we decided to get a newer one.

  • A wee bit too big but other than that I can’t think of anything.

 

Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?

The 2019 one had a fault with the charger door but it was replaced under warranty.

Surprise us! Tell us something people wouldn’t readily know about this electric car.

What electric car are you interested in next and why?

Not thinking that far ahead but it would have to be good to beat this one. Might just have to have another e-tron.

 

What home charging unit do you use? Would you recommend it to others and why?

Rolec – it does the job but we have a poor mobile signal so just use it as a dumb charger.
