E-Tron is one of the most anticipated models at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Auto lovers from around the world are flocking down to see the electronic high performance car from Audi. Audi has left everyone guessing as to why the company is launching an electric vehicle when total numbers of EVs registered in Germany are only 1500 which is 0.035% of the total vehicles registered in the country.

“Electric cars reduce the dependence of transportation and the economy on oil. They produce no direct exhaust emissions and thus ease the local burden on the environment,” says Audi. The company sees the greatest challenge as the integration of the energy storage system. Acceptable range and performance requires a heavy battery that takes up a lot of space.
