If you’re reading CleanTechnica, then you probably know all about the Audi e-tron. After all, this is the German automaker’s big push into all-electric mobility. It’s an easy-to-live-with electric SUV that should appeal to any Audi fan, and it’s proof positive that Audi is trying to woo ICE drivers into the electric fold without any big compromise.

This story was supposed to start with the delivery of my Tesla Model 3 with zero on the odometer — which did not happen — and myself heavily in debt — which did happen. However, it’s a positive story, so far…
The most popular articles of the past week started with a couple of space scientists correcting a very misleading Audi presentation comparing e-tron fast charging to Tesla Model 3 fast charging. (That article has since been referenced in the Wall Street Journal.)
