Audi has launched an updated version of its EV&me app, which helps drivers to understand the benefits of opting for an electric (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicle.

An auto-tracking feature, which uses real-time data, can calculate the possible savings by switching to a BEV or PHEV for an individual driver.

Users can also compare performance data, charging times, and running costs between models.

Andrew Doyle, director of Audi UK, said: “There are endless benefits to switching to plug-in power and Audi’s new and updated EV&me app now makes them clear for all to see.

“From an environmental standpoint, switching to electric power is central to Audi’s future but the financial benefits of making the switch can also be reaped by our customers.

“Making the switch to electric power is easier than ever thanks to the EV&me app; with our experts at your very fingertips we can help guide you through the process and ensure no question is left unanswered.”

The app is filled with guides and articles outlining the many benefits of Audi’s BEV and PHEV model ranges. Users can also watch “easy-guide” films, chat live to an EV specialist, locate an Audi Centre, discover live model offers, and book a test drive.
