In the middle of the alpine countryside, in a small village in Austria, stands the Veith family’s "Arx Hotel". Nature fans come here, and among them are often guests who arrive with an electric vehicle. With the two charging points on the hotel grounds, Veith says they are well-equipped today – but for the future, should demand increase, there would be room for more charging points. "In recent years, more and more people with electric cars have been coming to our hotel," says the former ski racer. "I often get to talk to them about electromobility," she says. Over time, this has created a "community of its own," she adds. "It's so exciting to learn what people experience with their electric cars. Especially those who travel long distances," continues Veith.
The Olympic and world champion has been driving an Audi e-tron GT quattro for over two years. Since then, her life has changed in a positive way. "As an athlete, I learned to get from A to B as quickly as possible in order to have more time afterwards," she says. Today, she travels very differently. More stress-free. "Electromobility helps me relax and forces me to schedule more breaks," she says. Depending on the type of charging station, the battery of the Audi e-tron GT quattro is recharged to 80 percent in just under 20 minutes. "I associate the charging breaks with quality of life, because this way I'm much more relaxed both on the road and in my life."
