"The automaker added 18 miles of range, for a total of 222 miles (and 218 miles for the Sportback model) by allocating more of the battery pack for daily use."
Basically, Audi removed some of the safe zone as the batteries don't (may ruin them) like being dropped to 0.

So not sure where 30 miles range is coming from?
All these software mods to yield range have got to kill the acceleration of the car. BMW already has an eco mode, so I am guessing this effectively puts the car in eco (or super eco) mode |
In Europe they are able to access more of the battery pack than in the US, hence the different range. I read (I think) that the warranty on the battery pack in Europe is four years and the US is six. That may be why the US limits the available usage.
