Another motor show, another Audi e-tron. They"ve been churning them out recently not just the e-tron SUV and e-tron Sportback, but the PB18 e-tron supercar and the self-driving Aicon. The message from Audi is clear it"s going in hard on electric and getting in there before rivals. Well, except Tesla. Saturating the automotive airwaves with product means BMW and Mercedes have to work hard to make themselves heard. The chatter isn"t going to subside anytime soon. Between now and 2025 Audi will add 12 all-electric cars, giving it across-the-board presence in a diverse range of shapes and sizes. Last year Audi sold over 1.8-million cars. In seven years time it reckons a third, some 600,000, will be electric. If that"s the case we"re in for a turnaround of some magnitude. What we haven"t seen yet is an affordable one. The e-tron GT does nothing to change that. It"s a concept at the moment, but will arrive in production form at the end of 2020, joining the e-tron SUV (on sale early next year) and e-tron Sportback crossover (coming late next year).
