battery AUDI A3 SPORTBACK E-TRON 2016 User Guide

Audi energy ______
Diminishes the footprint.
Not the range.

We didn’t set out to just revolutionize transportation—we are also pioneering a
range of ser vices for the e-tron® that defines automotive leadership for drivers who
understand a car is more than just that. Through a lower carbon footprint and a new
solar partnership, these programs usher in practicality and design with a purpose.
There’s more to the evolution of the automotive landscape than just a lot of
advanced engineering. It takes a holistic approach that is bold and effective.
That means things like helping offset carbon output, from the manufac -
turing and assembly of the A3 Sportback e-tron at the plant to the solar
partnerships that help qualified owners realize the benefits of generating
their own, clean, renewable energy.
2 It’s all meant to help make a large
impact from your roof top to half way around the world.

1 EPA estimates not available at time of printing. See www.fueleconomy.gov for updated information. Actual mileage and
r ange will vary and depend on several factors, including driving and charging habits, weather and temperature, battery
age and vehicle condition. Battery capacity decreases with time and use. See owner’s manual for details.
2 SunPower


products available for purchase for qualified customers. A qualified owner is someone with an Audi vehicle registered
in their name. See participating dealer for details.
3 The number of carbon offsets provided thr

ough the program is
based on assumptions and estimates regarding emissions occurring from the manufacture, distribution and use of the
Audi A3 e-tron through the first 50,000 miles. As such, the offsets provided may not fully account for actual carbon
emissions of the vehicle due to variations in electrical grid, source of\
electricity, vehicle maintenance and condition, actual
driving habits and behavior, and other variables.

Audi energy — sustainable power sources and a lower carbon footprint
Audi is getting serious about sustainability. Case in point: Audi energy.
3 It starts with what the car stands for, then goes
further on your behalf, so you don’t have to. We teamed with 3Degrees®, the leading carbon offset provider, to select and
support meaningful projects that reduce emissions and improve air quality for everyone.
We chose two types and locations of projects that together maximize the positive impact Audi energy and your e-tron can
make. Because Audi is a global car company and greenhouse gas emissions are not constrained by borders, the carbon offset
projects Audi energy supports reflect both a local and global focus. Audi energy includes carbon offsets to cover the vehicle’s
production, including the battery, distribution to dealers, and driving through the warranty period of 50,000 miles.

SunPower leads the charge with:
• Record-setting solar efficiency
• Industry-leading longevity
• One-stop custom design and installation
• Monthly electric bill savings
• Dedicated SunPower/Audi sales team
•
Exclusive access to new batter

y storage solution
Solar panels on par with Audi sophistication and refinement.
We deliver excellence throughout your entire Audi experience, so it should come as no surprise that we have collaborated
with a company that delivers the same level of excellence in solar power—SunPower. Now, qualified
2 Audi owners can not only
enhance the energy efficiency of their A3 e-tron, but also dramatically lower their home energy bills. Of course, fueling your
A3 e-tron straight from the sun is just the start. All qualified
2 Audi owners can receive dedicated access to the most innovative
of SunPower technology, like the 21.5% efficient X-Series Solar Panels (the highest-efficiency panels on the market4), which
produce 70 percent more energy than conventional panels,5 while offering stunning aesthetics and unmatched reliability.6 The
Audi SunPower partnership is a rare opportunity to help secure a healthier planet. Wildlife Works
This project is a part of the UN-REDD (United Nations Programme on Reducing
Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program, designed
to protect highly threatened forests that are critical carbon sinks—natural
absorption and storage systems of carbon dioxide. Focusing on the Kasigau
community in Kenya, who previously destroyed the forest ecosystem for
survival, and using a holistic, innovative approach, Wildlife Works targets the
root cause of the problem and ties forest preservation to improved livelihoods.
US Landfill Gas
Methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is
created as waste decomposes. Many landfills, however, are not required to
limit or capture this gas, which is instead released into the atmosphere.
Landfill Gas Capture projects either destroy the methane before it is
released or use it to make electricity. Either of these steps reduces green-
house gas emissions and preserves air quality for the health and benefit of
surrounding communities.
