Eligible e-tron buyers will receive a welcome email from Audi that includes a link to a personalized enrollment page on Arcadia.com. As part of the enrollment process, customers are asked to link their existing, compatible electrical utility account to Arcadia. This allows customers to pay their electric utility bill through Arcadia and receive potential savings from their remote solar subscription in the form of credits on their monthly bill. Eligible Audi e-tron owners will then start receiving solar savings at no additional cost each month for the next 10 years.
With more than 400,000 members connecting to clean energy from wind and solar farms, saving with lower rates and personalized impact dashboards, Arcadia makes supporting renewable energy accessible to more people. Audi has collaborated with Arcadia since September 2018 to support consumer access to renewable energy.
This program complements AUDI AG’s MISSION:ZERO program, in which the company is aiming to make future production globally carbon-neutral. For example, the Audi e-tron SUV is already produced at a carbon-neutral certified facility in Brussels, Belgium.
The Audi e-tron SUV is the brand’s first fully electric model in the U.S., built for everyday usability and repeatable performance. A true luxury SUV, the Audi e-tron was named as the first fully electric vehicle to earn a 2019 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation in August 2019. More recently, the e-tron SUV earned Green Car Reports’ “Best Car to Buy 2020” award, and earned a NHTSA five-star safety rating in its New Car Assessment Program.
