Under the state subsidy
Excluded Audi Q4 E-tron
The Audi Q4 E-tron has been released in Korea as a general model and a softback model. Among them, the softback model is the only state subsidyAudi Korea said that general models were not eligible for subsidies from the state treasury. The reason the Audi Q4 E-tron does not receive subsidies for electric vehicles is that its winter mileage does not meet the certification standards of the Ministry of Environment.
The subsidy for electric vehicles certified by the Ministry of Environment is subject to subsidy support for electric vehicles in addition to vehicle prices. mileage basismust be met to be eligible for subsidy support. To put it simply, 70% of the drivable distance at room temperature should be the winter drivable distance, but the Audi Q4 E-tron had a drivable range that was regarding 2% less than the standard value. In the end, Audi Korea will continue to sell the vehicle normally without recertifying the vehicle.

Why is Korea 368 km?
Audi Q4 E-tron in Europe WLTP standards The maximum driving range on a single charge of 520 km has been set. However, the Q4 E-tron, which was certified by the Korean Ministry of Environment, was certified with a driving range of 368 km, which was reduced by 152 km. Why is there such a big difference? The reason is not the problem of the heat pump that many consumers need, but the difference between the domestic Ministry of Environment’s certification method and Audi’s technology. This is because the regenerative braking technology, which is the most important technology of the Audi E-tron, was not used in the certification method by the Ministry of Environment.
Audi’s regenerative braking technology is a ‘brake-by-wire’ technology, which gives priority to regenerative braking when there is a vehicle in front of a vehicle that is driving a basic coasting, and flexibly if not. regenerative brakingadjust the steps of In other words, when there is another vehicle in front, the regenerative braking of the Audi E-tron is activated more and the mileage becomes longer. However, the domestic Ministry of Environment’s electric vehicle mileage authentication method uses the authentication method that simply rolls the car in a space where regenerative braking cannot be applied.

situation of damage
The Audi Q4 E-tron was unveiled at the Seoul Motor Show last year. domestic consumersIt was first released to the public, and it was officially released in Korea following a year. At the time, consumers saw Audi’s compact SUV and had 7,000 customers who had already pre-ordered it.
At the time, customers expected that they would receive even a 50% subsidy for electric vehicles, but it is very disappointing that the general model was excluded from the subsidy. Audi Korea is concerned regarding the departure of existing pre-contracted customers, but in fact, rather than changing the authentication method of the Ministry of Environment, it is clear that there is a big difference from the authentication distance of the Ministry of Environment as customers use it directly. experienceseems to want to do it.
