Mumbai, May, 2023.
Audi, the German luxury
car manufacturer, today announced the introduction of ‘Charge my Audi’ on the
myAudi Connect app – a one stop solution that gives Audi e-tron customers
access to multiple electric vehicle charging partners, all on one app. Charge
my Audi is an industry first initiative that enhances convenience for
customers. The application currently includes five charging
partners – Aargo EV Smart, Charge Zone, Relux Electric, Lion Charge and Zeon Charging
that are powered by the Numocity Technologies eMSP roaming solution. Audi
e-tron customers benefit from complimentary charging across the network till
August 2023.
Charge my Audi allows customers to efficiently plan their
drive route, identify charging stations along the way, check the availability
of charging terminals, start and stop charging and also pay for the service via
one single payment gateway. Currently, 750+
charge points are available to Audi e-tron owners on Charge my Audi with more
to be added over the next few weeks and months.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Christian Cahn von Seelen,
Executive Director Volkswagen Group Sales India, Member of the Board, “As a group, we are
committed to electric mobility and are continuously evaluating
electric vehicles and developing the charging ecosystem. The luxury electric
segment is witnessing good demand and initiatives like these for customers only
strengthen the overall practicality in terms of
ownership experience.”
Commenting on the announcement, Mr. Balbir Singh Dhillon,
Head of Audi India, said, “Audi India is
focused on customer centricity. We are continuously evaluating and introducing
solutions for our customers that make the ownership
experience hassle-free. ‘Charge my Audi’ is a one-of-a-kind, industry first
initiative that maximizes customer convenience. Ever since we introduced
e-tron to India, we have focused on building a
comprehensive ecosystem to support the transition to
electric mobility.”
Mr. Dhillon further added, “Along with our partners, we have an extensive charging
network to alleviate range anxiety and help customers experience the true joy
of owning an e-tron. There are 750+ charge points
currently available to e-tron owners and we will grow this number
exponentially.”
Charge my Audi eliminates the hassle of downloading
multiple applications. Audi e-tron customers can initiate the charging process
using the ‘myAudiConnect App’ while automated
identification and billing processes run simultaneously.
The technology and roaming platform has been powered by
Numocity Technology’s eMSP platform.

Audi e-tron 50, Audi e-tron 55, Audi e-tron Sportback 55, Audi e-tron GT and Audi RS e-tron GT. The brand will launch the new Audi Q8 e-tron in India,
later this year.
