It's EV News briefly for the first day of the week, Monday, October 20th, everything EV in less than five minutes.

Here we go. That Audi Concept C, which is either, depending on what you read, the new Audi TT or the new Audi R-rate, electric version, was shown off as a concept car at the IAA show recently.

324 or 330 miles on the dash. Like, that's a mega car.

I loved it.
