"An Audi A6 Sportback e-tron Quattro averaged 3.32 miles/kWh, driving 2,862 miles across Europe. Its average range for the trip was 318 miles, which is a good result since the trip involved a lot of 80 mph highway driving. You would need a very frugal diesel car to come close to matching the total charging cost of the trip using combustion. For many people, their choice of propulsion often boils down to money."
"Autocritica, the Romanian publication that organized this EV grand tour, added up all of the numbers for one of the cars on the tour: the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron Quattro, the Porsche Macan's more comfort-oriented fastback cousin, which rides on the same 800-volt PPE platform. It was one of the most expensive and powerful cars in the tour, but it also proved surprisingly efficient, with an average electricity consumption of 3.32 miles/kWh (18.7 kWh/100 km)."
"That gives the electric A6 a real-world range from its 95-kilowatt-hour (usable capacity) battery of 318 miles (512 km). That's not close to its official WLTP range of 445 miles (716 km), but considering much of the road trip consisted of highway driving at 80 mph (130 km/h), it's still a very good result for the Audi."
An EV road trip from Romania into the Alps and back, Eurocharge by Schaeffler, covered thousands of miles using eight new EVs and public DC fast chargers for daytime charging, with free overnight hotel charging starting each day with full batteries. The Audi A6 Sportback e-tron Quattro averaged 3.32 miles/kWh (18.7 kWh/100 km) over 2,862 miles, yielding a real-world range of 318 miles from its 95 kWh usable battery. The measured range fell short of the WLTP 445-mile rating, yet remained strong given extensive 80 mph highway driving. Charging costs compared favorably to combustion fuel, with only very frugal diesel cars approaching parity.
