The Audi charging network expands its horizons. The automaker with the four rings has announced that its network active in 31 European countries has seen double the HPC recharge points and grow from 400,000 to 500,000 stations from the beginning of the year to date: an extremely positive result especially in Italywhere Audi charging integrates over 38,000 charging points, covering around 92% of the national network.
Excellent partners
The evolution of the Audi charging network has led to the identification of two Premium Partners among the HPC providers, such as IONITY and ewiva: the first, the well-known joint-venture devoted to the creation of a European ultra-fast charging network with powers up to 350 kW, can now count on 27 active stations in our country, while the second, the result of the joint-venture between the Volkswagen Group and Enel X Way, by 2025 it will be able to count on the largest HPC network in Italy with over 3,000 points in 700 locations and powers from 100 to 350 kW. Thanks to these partnerships, Audi customers can benefit from affordable consumption rates and the Plug & Charge function for immediate accessibility to the columns of both networks.
Affordable rates
By opting for the Pro pricing planone of the three options provided by the Audi charging service, the monthly fee of 14.99 euros guarantees access to the columns of the IONITY network at very advantageous conditions: 0.50 euro/kWh instead of the standard cost of 0.79 euro/kWh, for a 40% saving. The ewiva network can now also enjoy this advantage, as well as the Aral pulse network, the latter in Europe. The car manufacturer with the four rings recalls how the monthly fee for the Pro plan is free for 12 months by purchasing a first-registered Audi BEV model.
Plug & Charge
As for the function plug & charge, instead, it is already active at the IONITY stations and at the ewiva columns, and provides that at the recharging points of both networks the models of the Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi Q8 e-tron ranges automatically obtain authorization to insert the charging cable and start the operation without the need for any card or app: the process starts without further action, and billing is just as automated since physical payment instruments are not required. Recall that this function it is shared, in addition to the Pro tariff plan, by the intermediate level Audi charging plus, made more accessible thanks to the reduced fee of 4.99 euros per month, and by the entry plan which is confirmed to be free.
