Had been driving Audi etron for a week as a loaner and that changed my perception on EV. I never cared about EV and only thought of EV as quick Tesla or ugly Toyota. But after driving Etron for a week, I am surprised how smooth EV is and overall sensation it gave. Perhaps loaded Etron was a cut above than normal but seamless transition into drive along with futuristic sound was totally enlightening experience coming from V8 S7. Short range of Etron didnt matter to me at all as I only do lots of local driving and that 180miles seemed never depleting for me. It looked like local driving with good regen rate kept the range longer than supposed to. For me, benchmark would be luxurious interior and cool exterior with whatever range it can give out as long as charging rate is fast. I can careless about speed.
