30 minutes

Auto Association

HERNDON, Va., February 13, 2020 The Audi e-tron demonstrated how far
EVs have come over the last quarter century, recently delivering the
first modern EV to Fully Charged LIVE in Austin, Texas. The e-tron
towed the trailer and payload, weighing a combined 4000 lbs., through
the Oklahoma rain with comfort and efficiency.

Audi Tulsa and Audi ONE, Audi of America s Herndon-based
electrification strategy team, supported the all-volunteer Oklahoma
Chapter of the Electric Auto Association in bringing the EV to
"Fully Charged LIVE," picking up their payload from Tulsa
Tech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and hauling it more than 500 miles to the
Circuit of the Americas, where the event was hosted.

Using CCS compatible fast chargers on both the Electrify America and
Francis Solar charging networks, the Audi e-tron was able to replenish
80% of its battery s capacity in just 30 minutes with high-speed 150
kW charging. With all the capabilities customers expect of a premium
midsize SUV, the e-tron, when properly equipped, is rated to tow 4,000
lbs. and comes with standard quattro all-wheel drive and air
suspension.

EVs have long been a community-driven technology, as evidenced by the
initiative of the Oklahoma Electric Auto Association to bring this
iconic vehicle to our event, said Chelsea Sexton, U.S. presenter of
the Fully Charged LIVE.

Sexton added, I m grateful to the Audi teams and Tulsa Tech for their
support and was excited to hop into the Audi e-tron for the journey.

We wanted to pay tribute to the EV that started it all, with the Audi
e-tron towing it on our 500-mile journey from Tulsa to Austin, said
Cody Thacker, director, Audi ONE, Audi of America. It s easy to go
electric today, and the e-tron s capabilities show it s more than
capable of going the distance with a heavy trailer in tow, even in
cold and windy weather conditions. We re thankful to have partners
like Audi Tulsa provide support and logistics and make this road trip
possible.

The Audi e-tron SUV is the first all-electric Audi vehicle offered in
North America, having gone on sale last May. With up to 402 horsepower
and 490 lb-ft of torque in boost mode, the five-passenger Audi e-tron
is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in a quiet 5.5 seconds. It is
priced starting from an MSRP of $74,800*.

Fully Charged LIVE is a two-day event launched by British actor,
presenter and writer, Robert Llewellyn ("Junkyard Wars" and
"Red Dwarf"). The Austin event featured an array of more
than 100 electric vehicles, mobility experts and clean energy
influencers. Its more than 3,500 attendees had the opportunity to see
many of the latest vehicles and technologies in the EV and mobility
space and enjoyed more than 30 presentations and panels on concerning
