The Audi e-tron GT (GEN1) alongside these alternatives:
Performance
With overboost, the Audi e-tron GT (GEN1) reaches a maximum power of 390 kW (530 hp / 523 bhp). Without overboost, it delivers 350 kW (476 hp / 469 bhp). Maximum torque is 640 Nm (472 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 245 km/h (152 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 93.4 kWh and a net usable capacity of 83.7 kWh, with a 9.7 kWh buffer (10.4%) for battery protection. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 725 V, supporting high-power DC charging.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 488 km (303 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 448 km (278 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 17.2 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 18.7 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 270 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 51 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 18 minutes at an average power of 191 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 3–64%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 162 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 52 seconds.
This efficient charging capability makes the Audi e-tron GT (GEN1) a convenient option for long-distance travel.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 11 minutes, needing three charging stops from 3% to 58%, totaling 51 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 36 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 3 hours and 48 minutes.
Charge Port
The charge port is conveniently located on the right front side, facilitating easy access at charging stations where you park parallel to the charger.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Additionally, a second port on the left front side offers greater flexibility for AC charging.
The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses J1772 for North America and TYPE2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between three levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 265 kW.

The car has four regular doors and a boot lid for the trunk.
There are two different roof options to select from.
A large panoramic glass roof extending from front to rear is standard. Tinted glass reduces solar heat gain.
The optional roof is a carbon roof, which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving handling and performance.
Privacy glass from the B-pillar rearward is optional. It reduces glare and solar heat.
As an option, double-glazed side windows are available to reduce cabin noise.
