EV Benefits

EV Charging

Origin Energy Offer

Audi e-tron owners can now benefit from an exclusive offer^ from Australia’s largest energy retailer, Origin. As an e-tron owner, you can benefit from 12 months of 100% GreenPower* combined with the Origin EV energy plan. Meaning you can power your vehicle, as well as your entire house, at no cost for 5 hours between 10am-3pm (AEST), and enjoy off-peak EV charging between the hours of 1am-6am. Furthermore, owners can also receive a discounted price on a Smart EV Charger installation at your home that can be set up to automate the charging of their e-tron to make the most of the EV Energy Plan. Offer only available for Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, ACT and South Australia owners.

Zero tailpipe emissions

<b>Zero tailpipe emissions<b>

There are no tailpipe emissions whatsoever when driving a fully electric vehicle, or plug-in hybrid vehicle in electric mode.

Reduced Running Costs

<b>Reduced Running Costs<b>

The cost of powering an electric car is about 70%⁴ more cost effective per kilometre than a petrol car. In addition, many electricity providers are offering specific home electricity plans⁵ for EV owners helping to lower charging costs associated with owning an electric car even more.

Less servicing requirements

<b>Less servicing requirements<b>

Compared to a combustion engine, electric vehicles have less moving parts. There are just three components on a pure electric vehicle — the motor, the on-board charger and the inverter. We offer bespoke maintenance and service packages for your electric vehicle.

Batteries built for longevity

<b>Batteries built for longevity<b>

All Audi high-voltage batteries are designed to last for the whole life cycle of the car and have been completely crash tested for Audi fully electric vehicles. They also come with an eight year, or 160,000 kilometre warranty, whichever comes first. Coverage for up to three years after purchase also applies to all other parts of your electric Audi.

Charging made easy

<b>Charging made easy<b>

The average car spends about 80%⁶ of time parked at home, so using a home charging system is the most convenient way to charge an EV. To ensure a full charge when you wake up, EV drivers tend to charge overnight (when tariffs are cheaper for most electric vehicles). If you’re headed further afield, you’ll find thousands of public charging stations across Australia, with new ones being added every day. You can also manage your charging with the help of apps — and it’s improving rapidly. Welcome to the electric revolution.

^The offer is available to our customers in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, ACT and South Australia. Western Australia and Tasmania electricity markets are regulated by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) and the Office of the Tasmanian Economic Regulator (OTTER) respectively and therefore Origin Energy is not active in these market and as a result these markets are excluded from this offer.
