From Green Car Report, Audi has supposedly confirmed that the R8 e-Tron (two-seater) will enter production with a 250 mile range, may be shown at the 2015 Detroit auto show. The article also indicates that Audi is planning an EV family car with 280 miles range around 2017.
One thing in the article that stands out is "Audi's parent Volkswagen Group claims to be developing motors that are five times more efficient than the one used in the current VW e-Golf."
How the hell can you make a motor that is already 85% efficient, five time more efficient??? I think they meant that the electric motors will be five time more efficient then the ICE in the gas Golf.
