Audi Teams Up With Amazon for Home-Charging of Electric SUVs

   By Max Bernhard

Audi AG (NSU.XE) is teaming up with Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) to deliver in-home charging equipment for U.S. customers of the German car maker's E-tron electric sport-utility vehicle.

The subsidiary of Volkswagen AG (VOW.XE) will work with the internet giant to deliver a "turn-key solution for in-home charging," the first such collaboration between a car manufacturer and Amazon, Audi said on Monday.

Amazon's Home Services unit will allow E-tron buyers to view information and pricing on home-charging equipment and installation, the car maker said.

The E-tron is the first of three fully electric vehicles Audi plans to bring to the market by 2020. The company said it expects almost 30% of its U.S. customers to switch to an electric vehicle by 2025.
