Drivetrain and Performance

The Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback is 370 kW (496 hp). The maximum torque is 718 lb-ft. The Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback is all wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in an estimated 4.5 seconds. The top speed is 130 mph.

Battery and Charging

The battery of the Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback has a total capacity of 114 kWh. The usable capacity is 106 kWh. An estimated range of about 290 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.

For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 210 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 410 mi.

Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 11 hours 30 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 17 hours and a charge rate of 17 mph. An optional on-board charger with a maximum power of 22.0 kW is available. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 5 hours 45 minutes. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 54 hours 15 minutes.

Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 170 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 150 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 200 miles of range.

Energy Consumption

The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback is about 366 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 111 mpg in a traditional petrol car.

The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 505 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 259 Wh per mile.

CO2 Emission

The Audi SQ8 e-tron Sportback emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
