While that sounds like the opposite of how people envision next-generation EVs, Ingolstadt\u2019s head honcho has a plausible explanation.<\/p>\n<p>In his interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/roadshow\/news\/audi-e-tron-gt-tesla-ev-range-markus-duesmann\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>CNET\u2019s Roadshow<\/em><\/a>, Duesmann argued that \u201cputting huge batteries for thousands of kilometers, I\u2019m not sure that this is a trend that will go on.\u201d He estimates \u201clater on they will go down because charging infrastructure is denser and also the experience of customers.\u201d For this reason, Audi\u2019s boss sees a future with smaller and lighter EVs, even though today&#8217;s E-Tron SUV and <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/02\/09\/2022-audi-e-tron-gt-reveal\/\">E-Tron GT sedan<\/a> are not exactly diminutive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4207 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2019-audi-AIME-concept-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2019-audi-AIME-concept-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2019-audi-AIME-concept-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The full transition from cars powered by combustion engines to electric motors will take a while as the man calling the shots in Ingolstadt explains people will need time to adapt to EVs. He was specifically talking about the differences between refueling a car running on gasoline or diesel and recharging the battery of an electric car.<\/p>\n<p>Duesmann thinks once people will get used to plugging in their EVs, battery sizes are going to come down. Why? \u201cBecause they make the cars unnecessarily heavy and unnecessarily expensive. And unnecessarily big, too.\u201d With battery tech constantly improving, charging times will drop in the following years. Corroborated with an improved charging infrastructure, people will be more willing to recharge their EVs almost in the same way as they refuel an ICE car today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4208\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2019-audi-AIME-concept-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2019-audi-AIME-concept-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/2019-audi-AIME-concept-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This last statement is particularly interesting seeing as how Audi\u2019s CEO recently told <em>Autocar<\/em> magazine the A2 supermini could <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/02\/10\/audi-a2-return-electric-vehicle\/\">return as an electric city car<\/a>.
