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

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Audi\u2019s e-tron products, much like Tesla\u2019s new\u00a0Taycan<\/a>, can also perform at their maximum ability for far longer than any Tesla, thanks to the same aforementioned battery cooling. Of course, most Teslas would wipe the floor with any current e-tron product, in terms of straight-line performance. However, as we\u2019ve already seen proof of, the Audi e-tron is not only more capable through twisties but it can also do so without having to cool down.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no question, though, that Tesla is the brand Audi \u2014 and the rest of the industry \u2014 needs to keep the closest eye on. Tesla is developing battery and EV tech at an astonishing rate. Will the rest of the industry catch up? Probably, thanks to greater engineering and manufacturing might. However, to do so, the entire industry is going to have to take Tesla very seriously.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope Duesmann is being serious when he says Audi is quickly catching up and not just dismissing Tesla. If it\u2019s the latter, Audi could be in trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
