Thirty years ago, the original GM EV-1, a dedicated electric car, could go no further on a charge, and some used examples of the early Nissan Leaf \u2013 good for 100 miles (160 km) when new \u2013 now only deliver around 50 miles (80 km) due to battery degradation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>Audi has come up with two versions of the A6 PHEV, both featuring the same 248 hp (252 PS) 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four, but different levels of electrical assistance. The milder PHEV makes a total of 295 hp (299 PS) and needs 6.0 seconds to reach 62 mph (100 kmh), but upgrade to the 362 hp (367 PS) version and that time drops to 5.3 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to electric mode and you\u2019re limited to 87 mph (140 kmh), but bring some ICE to the party and the top speed is extended to an electronically limited 155 mph (250 kmh). Like all the best EVs and PHEVs, the Audi duo lets you tweak the amount of brake regeneration, in this case via paddles on the steering wheel.<\/p>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n<p>Other upgrades over the old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/phev\/\">PHEV<\/a> include an 11 kW onboard AC charger \u2013 boosted from the previous 7.4 kW \u2013 which allows the battery to be refilled in 2.5 hours.
