Brits on the lookout for an electric vehicle without the hassle of full ownership can get the Audi E-Tron for a monthly fee of £1,299 (equal to $1,813).
Launched in partnership between Audi and subscription provider Onto, who just purchased 300 units of the E-Tron Black Edition, the program includes driving for up to 1,000 miles (1,609 km) per month, insurance, servicing, breakdown cover and up to 1,000 miles worth of free charging at the BP Pulse and Shell Recharge networks.

The process kicks off with a selfie, an online registration form and a £49.50 ($69) fee that covers the car’s delivery (takes around 72 hours) to their preferred UK address. Subsequently, they will have to pay 50 or 100 percent of the £1,299 monthly fee, and at the end of the period, they will have to decide whether they want to extend it or walk away. The latter scenario comes with a £49.50 ($69) collection fee.
Those who will sign up for the program will control the car via the dedicated Onto app that’s available on Android and iOS and replaces the physical key, allowing them to lock, unlock and start the E-Tron SUV, which builds on the S line trim level in this spec.
The Black Edition model features metallic paint, 21-inch wheels, matrix LED headlights, black exterior detailing and adaptive sport air suspension. Inside, it sports Audi’s Virtual cockpit, MMI infotainment system, wireless smartphone charging, Valcona leather upholstery and front sports seats.
Available in the 55 quattro variant with a 235-mile (378-km) WLTP-certified range, the E-Tron Black Edition uses two electric motors that generate a combined 402 HP (408 PS / 300 kW) and 490 lb-ft (664 Nm) of torque. It needs 5.7 seconds for the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) acceleration and tops out at 124 mph (200 km/h). The 95 kWh battery supports DC fast charging of up to 150 kW, taking around half an hour to be recharged to 80 percent.
