Audi A3 E-tron Forum and Electric Vehicle News

Just thought I'd start a thread for E-Tron owners in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. We have had our A3 since February 11th. So far, here are our stats.

Location: Seattle
Elapsed Time: 925 minutes
Elapsed Distance: 195 miles
Average Consumption: 2.9 miles per kwH
Range at Full Charge: 20 miles (down from 24 on Feb 11, 2016)

What are others in the area seeing?

Portland, Oregon owner since end of January (Premium, 17 in wheels).

The temperatures have had a huge impact on range.
My commute is 13 miles one way, 10 of which on I5.
- At ~40F, I get nearly exactly 13 miles.
- At ~60F, I'm seeing more like 20 miles.

I've taken one long trip with it, 160 miles total, and averaged about 40 mpg at ~45 F.

Still get a kick out of perks like front door parking at the airport and OMSI.

Hi, folks. Mine will be in Eugene, once it gets to the dealer in Bend and is prepped. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=232

As I am retired now and most errands during the week here are 15 miles or less, I hope to be able to do most in town driving in EV mode. We'll see....

Hey, I live in Washington. Puyallup area. Bought my 2016 in September. Wish I would have gotten the fully loaded as I really want the Audi connect.

Hi all, if you live in WA state, there is a chance that they are collecting a $75 hybrid car tax from you in error because the A3 is not capable of going 30 miles on battery according to the EPA. I have written to them to ask for a refund. The DOL rep that I spoke to was not aware of the fine print.
