Because it’s an EV!!
This is the first sighting for me of the Audi A3 e-Tron plug-in hybrid car. I was surprised to learn they start at $38,900 which is pretty decent for an Audi which one expects to be very pricey compared to an equivalent car from a regular auto maker.
I see Audi have chosen to put the plug at the front of the car like the LEAF. It hides nicely behind the front four circle emblem.
I have seen a wide variety of EV’s at work recently. Here’s a list of what I have spotted.
Car | Type |
Audi A3 e-TRon | PHEV |
BMW 330e | PHEV |
BMW i3 | BEV |
BMW i8 | PHEV |
Chevy Volt | PHEV |
Ford CMax Energi | PHEV |
Ford Fusion Energi | PHEV |
Nissan LEAF | BEV |
Tesla Model S | BEV |
Tesla Model X | BEV |
Toyota RAV4 EV | BEV |
I regret not taking a photo of the RAV4 EV, it was bought locally from Carvana, so I might see it again one day. If you are in the market for a second hand EV, buy it from Carvana, they have quite a good stock of EV’s and sell them for less than Carmax.
Now I’m stalking your site 🙂 The RAV4 is mine. You’ve probably seen it a few times now.
