The Audi Experience Drive let six automotive journalists and an electric vehicle advocate experience for themselves the 100 percent electric Audi Q8 e-tron 55's capability to cover long distances on a single charge.
In the activity held November 13 to 14, the participants drove off from Audi Philippines' facilities in Greenhills with 100 percent battery charge in their respective Q8 e-tron 55 SUVs.
From there, they headed to the northern expressways on the way to Baguio City for an overnight stay.
The next day, the group headed back, braving both inclement weather in the mountaintop city and rush-hour traffic in Metro Manila.
The vehicles they drove were not charged at any point during the trip.
Yet, upon their return to Audi Philippines, all the Q8 e-tron 55 SUVs had more than enough battery charge to spare.
This proved to the participants the electric model's real-world driving range.
The entire Manila-Baguio-Manila trip covered a distance of more than 526 kilometers.
