Your Audi e-tron will come with a personal charging base which you can choose to install at home or at work. But for days when you’re out and about, here are our recommendations of places to visit while getting in a bit of charge into your Audi e-tron.
Under average personal use, your Audi e-tron can last you a full week before you need to charge it again — depending on your Audi e-tron model, you can clock in around 300 to 472 km in a single charge. And with your personal charging base there’s zero opportunity cost as this eliminates trips to filling stations like you would with a car with an internal combustion engine. Your Audi e-tron also has both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) charging ports allowing you more options when looking for charging points around the island.
There are currently more than 3,600 charging points by various service providers in Singapore such as Charge+, SP Group, Greenlots, and Shell Recharge. The good news is, in line with the government’s push for electric vehicles (EVs), more charging points will gradually be added across the country with a goal of hitting 60,000 by 2030. In the meantime, there are several apps that can help you locate the nearest available charging points such as the SP Utilities app and PlugShare. Through these apps, you’ll have access to locations, user reviews and pictures of the charging stations.
Aside from its obvious perks, having an EV can also come in handy when you’re looking to score a lot in a crowded car park — dedicated EV lots in car parks are often available and usually located near lift lobbies for that added convenience. Here are our picks of places where you can give your Audi e-tron added juice while you seize the day.
