Audi will halt new gas and diesel cars by 2026
I picked up through my work an Audi E-tron 50.  It was a second car, so I wasn&#x27;t riding everything on it.  What surprised me is that I am going to resist ever buying a car with an ICE now.  People complain about range, but the issue is really availability of fast charging points, which will change.  The smooth constant acceleration, quiet ride, not needing to visit petrol stations, long service intervals and lack of particles coming out the back has converted me.  If I was running a car company, I would not be throwing any R+D at the ICE range.<p>EDIT: Just to add that the reviews didn&#x27;t really represent to me the car that I got.  They largely compared it to performance Teslas, and noted that it was slower, shorter-ranged and less efficient than Teslas.  But I think a lot of reviewers miss the point.  A fast Tesla (LR models, let alone performance) is so fast it beats my motorbike, which is normally faster than most performance ICE cars.  I think the general public haven&#x27;t quite grokked that yet, so have no idea just how fast 300hp with torque available all the time actually is.
