FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Audi recalls 9 048 q4 e trons because the battery could catch on fire | History Defined

Volkswagen Group's EV batteries are going through a rough patch at the moment. Just a couple of weeks ago, VW issued a recall for ID.4 battery packs that could potentially catch fire. Now, the same is happening for the Audi Q4 e-tron, with 9,048 cars being recalled. And just like with VW and the ID.4, Audi is recommending that owners keep their batteries under 80%.

This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, as the Q4 e-tron and ID.4 are mechanical siblings, and likely share the same battery supplier. It seems like VW's problem is what triggered Audi to investigate the Q4 e-tron, leading it to this recall.
