Audi traces its origins {back|again} to 1899 and August Horch. When Horch was {forced|compelled|pressured} out of {the company|the corporate} he had {founded|based}, he {started|began} {a new|a brand new} {company|firm} in 1909 {called|known as|referred to as} Audi which was a Latin translation of Horch (in German: 'Listen'). From {the start|the beginning}, {the company|the corporate}'s {policy|coverage} was {to build|to construct} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {mainly|primarily} for the {luxury|luxurious} {category|class}. Since 1932 the Audi emblem has been the '{four|4} rings', which {represent|characterize|signify|symbolize} its amalgamation with DKW, Horch and Wanderer to {form|kind|type} Auto Union AG in Chemnitz, Germany. Audi {supplied|equipped|provided} {a wide range|a variety} of passenger {vehicles|automobiles|autos} {during the|in the course of the|through the|throughout the} {1930s|nineteen thirties|thirties} - from {motorcycles|bikes} to {luxury|luxurious} saloon {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. Volkswagen {bought|purchased} {the company|the corporate} in 1964. {In the|Within the} 1980s, Audi dominated world rally with the Audi Quattro, and has had {huge|big|enormous|large} success {in the|within the} Le Mans 24 Hour with its R10 prototype racer. Audi's progressive designs and groundbreaking {technology|expertise|know-how} {combine|mix} to make {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {which are|that are} {innovative|modern|progressive|revolutionary} {yet|but} {stylish|fashionable|trendy}. {The current|The present} crop of {production|manufacturing} {vehicles|automobiles|autos} from the Audi A3 to the Audi R8 supercar has propelled Audi to {record|document|file|report} {sales|gross sales} {during the|in the course of the|through the|throughout the} {21st|twenty first} century. In March 1980, the introduction of the Audi Quattro {four|4}-wheel drive {sports|sports activities} coupe {caused|brought about|brought on|induced|precipitated|prompted|triggered} a sensation on the Audi stand {at the|on the} Geneva Motor Show. The Quattro was {the first|the primary} {high|excessive}-{performance|efficiency} {vehicle|automobile|car} with {four|4}-wheel drive, and is {regarded as|considered|thought to be} {the first|the primary} {successful|profitable} {application|software|utility} {of four|of 4}-wheel drive on a {road|highway|street} {car|automobile|automotive}. {In the|Within the} late 1980s, a report by the U.S. Tv {show|present}, "60 Minutes" rigged an Audi to {perform|carry out} in an uncontrolled {manner|method}. In 1994, the launch of {the first|the primary} Audi A8 with an all-aluminium {body|physique} was a world first for a passenger {car|automobile|automotive}.
But does this {help you|aid you|allow you to|assist you|assist you to|enable you|enable you to|make it easier to|provide help to|show you how to} get {anywhere|anyplace|wherever} {faster|quicker|sooner}? Charging {power|energy} {is not|is just not|isn't|just isn't|shouldn't be|will not be} charging {speed|pace|velocity}! {First of all|Initially|To begin with|To start with}, {we have|now we have|we have now|we now have|we've|we've got} {to adjust|to regulate} the horizontal axis. Who cares about battery {percentage|proportion|share}? The {important|essential|necessary|vital} {information|data|info} for the driver is how far {they can|they will|they'll} go {before|earlier than} {they need to|they should} fill up. The battery of a low-{range|vary} {vehicle|automobile|car} {does not|doesn't} get me {anywhere|anyplace|wherever}, {no matter|irrespective of|regardless of} {if it is|whether it is} {fully|absolutely|totally} charged or not. For the Audi, a 100% state of {charge|cost} corresponds to 204 miles (EPA {test|check|take a look at} cycle). The Tesla {data|information|knowledge} Audi copied from Twitter was measured from a Model {3|three} Long Range, {hence|therefore} {I will|I'll} {correctly|accurately|appropriately} use 325 miles for a 100% state of {charge|cost}. The chart above highlights the {40|forty} mile and 200 mile {range|vary} equivalents for the e-tron and the Tesla, so {we can|we are able to|we will} rescale the traces accordingly and plot the charging {power|energy} over electric {vehicle|automobile|car} {range|vary}. This {version|model} of the chart is {slightly|barely} {less|much less} {misleading|deceptive}, {but|however} we {still|nonetheless} have {another|one other} step {before|earlier than} {this is|that is} {a real|an actual} apples-to-apples {comparison|comparability}.
That step is to take {into account|into consideration|under consideration} {how fast|how briskly} the {vehicles|automobiles|autos} {actually|really|truly} {charge|cost} in {units|items|models} {that are|which are|which can be|which might be} {more|extra} {relevant|related} in {the real|the actual|the true} world. For that, {we need|we want|we'd like} {to adjust|to regulate} the vertical axis to {reflect|mirror|replicate} charging {speed|pace|velocity} ({charge|cost} {rate|charge|fee|price} in miles per hour). This metric not {only|solely} {depends on|depends upon|is dependent upon|is determined by|relies on|will depend on} the charging {power|energy} {but also|but additionally|but in addition} on the {efficiency|effectivity} of the {vehicle|automobile|car}. The {more|extra} {efficient|environment friendly} a {vehicle|automobile|car} is, the {more|extra} {range|vary} you add for any given charging {power|energy}. The Model {3|three} Long Range maxes out at a ludicrous {1000|a thousand|one thousand} miles per hour at 250 kW charging {power|energy}. This {translates|interprets} to {close to|near} 600 miles per hour {at the|on the} {150|a hundred and fifty|one hundred fifty} kW {level|degree|stage}. {If you|For those who|If you happen to|In case you|In the event you|Should you|When you} do the math, these values {include|embody|embrace} a roughly 8% loss ({mainly|primarily} {due to|as a consequence of|as a result of|attributable to|because of|on account of|resulting from} heat). If we assume {the same|the identical} 8% loss for charging the e-tron, {the picture|the image} {looks|appears|appears to be like|seems|seems to be} very {different|completely different|totally different}. Finally, {we can|we are able to|we will} {directly|immediately|instantly|straight} {compare|evaluate|examine} the {speed|pace|velocity} at which {the two|the 2} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} can {charge|cost}.
{The area|The realm|The world} {below|beneath|under} the charging profile is {directly|immediately|instantly|straight} {related|associated} to the time it takes {to add|so as to add} drivable {range|vary} to the {car|automobile|automotive}. {As an example|For example|For instance}, I picked {a realistic|a practical|a sensible} remaining {range|vary} of {40|forty} miles {before|earlier than} {we begin|we start} charging. We then {charge|cost} {both|each} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} to 200 miles ({since the|because the|for the reason that} Audi can抰 get {beyond|past} 204 miles). {You can|You may|You possibly can|You'll be able to} see {in the|within the} chart above {in the|within the} highlighted {area|space} between {40|forty} and 200 miles: the {larger|bigger} this {area|space}, the {faster|quicker|sooner} the {charge|cost} {process|course of} {will be|can be|might be|shall be|will likely be|will probably be} {to add|so as to add} 160 miles of {range|vary}. So, in {reality|actuality}, the Audi e-tron {charges|costs|expenses|fees|prices} {way|approach|manner|means|method} slower than the Tesla Model {3|three} even {at the|on the} older {generation|era|technology} Supercharger. How {long|lengthy} does it take {to add|so as to add} 160 miles of {range|vary}? Twitter {user|consumer|person} who {published|printed|revealed} {the original|the unique} {data|information|knowledge}, {also|additionally} posted the charts for {range|vary} vs time {while|whereas} charging. From these charts, {we know|we all know} for {certain|sure} that it took {15 minutes|quarter-hour} to {charge|cost} from {40|forty} to 200 miles on the third-{generation|era|technology} Supercharger. {This would|This could|This is able to|This may|This might} translate to roughly 21 minutes when charging {the same|the identical} {car|automobile|automotive} at a V2 Supercharger.
