August Horch founded his first automobile company, August Horch & Cie, in
Cologne in 1899. Shortly after that, in 1909, he set up a new automobile
company in Zwickau, which has been operating under the name Audiwerke AG,
Zwickau since 1910. This marked the birth of the modern company's name.
Reasons to go Electric in 2024
There are no emissions when driving (0g C02 per km) meaning electric
cars are better, cleaner and kinder to the environment than their petrol
or diesel-powered counterparts.
Cheaper to maintain over the lifetime of the vehicle, and electric cars
are a lot more cost efficient to maintain than petrol-powered cars.
Extremely quiet - combustion engines make petrol and diesel-powered cars
much noisier than their electric alternatives.
Outperform petrol-powered cars. Most electric cars now outperform
comparable petrol or diesel-powered cars in terms of the acceleration
and torque.
Charge up at home - This means that you can get on with the rest of your
day without thinking about that last minute trip to the petrol station
to top up, so your car is ready for the next day.
Free parking in some places - Another advantage of owning an electric
car is that you’ll be able to benefit from free parking in some places
such as UK.
Electric cars are futureproof - electric cars become more widely
adopted, so will the surrounding infrastructure around them.
