Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video, as requested:The reviewer has taken an Audi Q6 Sport Quattro on an annual family ski trip across France.
Key Points:
-The Q6 is a replacement for the older E-tron 55.
-It is the base model but with Quattro specifications, including a 95 kWh battery and all-wheel drive, but 19-inch wheels.
-The car is enjoyable to drive, and it appears to be more efficient, allowing the driver to travel a fair bit further.
-The infrastructure in France for EV charging is superb, and nearly every service station has charging hubs. However, there are more electric vehicles on the road now, and the chargers can get busy.
-While on the French motorways, speed significantly impacts range even with this more efficient vehicle; the driver estimates that more than 200 miles can still be achieved between charges.
-The French toll roads have gone cashless; payment must be made online within 72 hours, though the reviewer uses a “Bip and Go” toll tag.
Findings:
-There is great EV charging infrastructure in France.
-Faster French motorway speeds impact range, even with a better efficiency.
-The Audi Q6 is a great car for road trips.
-The charging speed is very good.
-The review vehicle's key features include twin leather and sports seats.
-The reviewer also noted more and more EV chargers now come with canopies, and this is more commonplace in France than the UK.
- French Tolls are increasingly more difficult to navigate.
- A full charge initially gave the car 306 miles of range, but after driving to Portsmouth for the Ferry, 48 miles away, it was showing 240 at 82%.
- Recharging at a fastned station at 159-162kw the car was averaging one kilowatt-hour every 20 seconds
Conclusion:
The Q6 is proving to be as good as the Q8 and Etron 55 it replaces and is a comfortable and efficient road tripping EV.
I hope this helps.
