No, they didn't.
Because they use the ICE to both drive the car itself, and fill the batteries, it's way oversized as a generator.

Audi is going for a small, compact wankel in their electric A1.
I expect it to be somewhere in the 150-250 cc (equivalent) bracket.
15 kW would easily keep that small car going.
