Why does my Audi e-Tron have a lower range than advertised?

I recently purchased an Audi e-Tron, but I've noticed that the range is not as high as what was advertised. What could be causing this and what can I do to improve it?

One of the main reasons for lower range in electric vehicles is temperature. In colder weather, your battery may not perform as well, resulting in a lower range. Other factors such as driving habits and terrain can also affect range. Make sure to adjust your driving style and consider pre-heating the battery in colder weather to optimize range.

Another possible reason for lower range is the battery's state of health. As the battery degrades over time, it may not be able to hold as much charge, resulting in a lower range. Regularly maintaining your battery and following proper charging practices can help slow down degradation and maintain range.

It's also important to keep in mind that the advertised range is based on ideal conditions and may not always reflect real-world usage. Factors such as heavy traffic, fast driving, and use of climate control can decrease range. To get a better understanding of your vehicle's range, try tracking your driving habits and conditions.
