Newly appointed\u00a0CEO Markus Duesmann<\/a>\u00a0has only been in his position for a short time but he already sees big things for the future of the Audi brand. During a recent conversation with the Prime Minister of Bavaria \u2014 Audi\u2019s home state in Germany \u2014 Markus S\u00f6der, Duesmann actually feels that Audi is catching up to the famous electric car maker, Tesla.<\/p>\n In the world of electric cars, no brand is more famous than\u00a0Tesla<\/a>. Most of its fame is deserved but it\u2019s certainly not the only brand that makes great electric cars. While Audi might be new to the world of EVs, it\u2019s certainly accelerating its efforts and is quickly becoming one of the biggest EV makers in the world. So quickly, in fact, that Duesmann thinks the gap between the two brands is closing fast.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n At the moment, from what we can actually see from the outside looking in, there\u2019s some truth to that but the extent of which is still unknown. Audi is certainly catching up to Tesla in terms of charging technology, having actually put out a mass-market electric car capable of charging at 150 kWh first.\u00a0Audi\u2019s e-tron<\/a>\u00a0products also have better battery cooling, allowing for not only faster charging but consistently faster charging, as the batteries stay cool throughout the process.<\/p>\n
