The winds of change are blowing strong at Audi, as the brand’s transition to all-electric models gathers momentum. Audi CEO Markus Duesmann has announced that from 2026, Audi will launch only new all-electric models onto the global market.
The announcement is in keeping with the brand’s long term plans that will see Audi achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. More than 20 e-models are set to join the Audi lineup by the year 2025 and internationally, the brand will launch more electric cars than models with combustion engines this year.
With charging infrastructure expanding rapidly in Australia, the introduction of all-electric models is set to expand exponentially. In Australia, the leading EV charging network ChargeFox has announced that it will add more than 4000 additional ‘plugs’ to the network by the end of 2025, with 2000 of those delivering fast and or ultra-rapid charging speeds.
The Audi e-tron and Audi e-tron Sportback were launched in Australia last year and will be joined by a host of new electric models in the future, including the high-performance e-tron GT and RS e-tron GT models which have already been launched in other parts of the globe earlier this year.
This is another indication we are at the tipping point of an exciting new era for both the environment and the automotive industry, and we’ll look forward to reviewing these new exciting EVs when they reach our shores in Australia.
