Last year, Audi announced it’s first all-electric vehicle, the e-tron quatro, a luxury SUV expected to fit between the Q5 and Q7, and therefore, it will likely change its name to Q6 once it will enter production at the company’s plant in Brussels starting in 2018.

Surprisingly, Audi says the plant will also produce “its own batteries”, though without specifying if they are talking about battery packs or battery cells.
