Why is the Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e Quattro's range limited in electric mode?

I have noticed that the Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e Quattro has a relatively low range in electric mode compared to other plug-in hybrid vehicles. What is the reason for this and how can I maximize my electric range?

The Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e Quattro has a limited electric range due to its larger battery size and heavier weight, which requires more energy to move. To maximize your electric range, try driving in Eco mode and avoid excessive acceleration and braking.

One possible reason for the limited electric range is that the Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e Quattro uses a parallel hybrid design, which means the gasoline engine and electric motor work together to power the vehicle. This design sacrifices pure electric range for better overall performance.

I have found that using the regenerative braking feature can significantly improve the electric range of my Audi A8 L 60 TFSI e Quattro. It captures energy that would otherwise be lost during braking and stores it in the battery, prolonging the use of electric power.
