This makes it possible for the waste heat from the electrical drive components to be made available to the interior of the Q7 e-tron quattro. For example, fuel economy statistics and a graphic display of the electric range is shown on the navigation map. A first test setup located near Ingolstadt recently started supplying the grid.
