The E-Tron Quattro will ride with a 95-kWh lithium-ion battery. This battery enables the vehicle to ride 311 miles. A fast charger will refill the battery in 50 minutes. There will be wireless charging possible with the help of an in-ground charging plate. Besides, a big solar roof will supply some electricity as well.

Besides, there are ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, a laser scanner and a video camera. With the help of computer it is easy to complete a model of car’s surroundings in such a way, so that the assistance set-ups for piloted driving could have access to it. According to the producer, this technology is ready for production.
The concept under consideration is scheduled to reach the market by the first part of 2018.
