The Audi e-gas plant can convert 6MW of input power. The e-gas plant only operates when there is too much electricity from renewable sources in the grid. The process to convert isobutene to isooctane is well-established. Nearly 80% of the Blue Crude can be converted into synthetic diesel using existing refinery technologies.

In doing so the power electronics convert the direct current (DC) stored in the battery into alternating current (AC) and use this to drive the motor. Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. The battery is then charged from the grid at a power level of 2.3
