Audi AG plans to introduce three all-electric models, including an A-segment minicar, by 2020.
The company also expects 25%-30% of its total sales by 2025—roughly 450,000 units—will come from vehicles with electrified powertrains, CEO Rupert Stadler told Germany’s Heilbronner Stimme on Saturday.
Handelsblatt and Reuters reported the same EV sales target a week ago. They also indicated Stadler was to present his vision of Audi’s advanced mobility future, including the role of EVs, on July 20 during a closed-door meeting with more than 2,000 executives.
Audi said earlier that it plans to produce a production version of the electric e-tron quattro concept vehicle it revealed at last September’s Frankfurt auto show. The concept car is fitted with a 95-kWh battery with a range of about 500 km (311 miles) per charge and the ability to zip from zero to 100 kph in 4.6 seconds. The e-tron quattro is equipped with a three-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain that can deliver as much as 370 kW and 590 lb-ft of torque, according to Audi.
