For Audi we cover 38 models and 90 versions from model years 2014-2026, including 20 plug-in hybrids and 70 electric cars, with batteries from 7.5 to 106 kWh. Onboard AC power splits this line-up into three groups: 70 versions accept 11 kW, 17 versions 7.4 kW, and three go no higher than 3.7 kW. That makes the 11 kW Q11 our main recommendation - also for the 7.4 kW hybrids, because they charge over two phases and would get only half their power from a single-phase unit. For the weakest onboard chargers we go for the Q37. All 90 versions have a Type 2 connector, so both a portable charger and a wallbox will fit.

Charging Audi - FAQ
Audi has both plug-in hybrids and electric cars - how does the charger choice differ?
Almost every electric Audi has an 11 kW onboard charger, so we match a Q11 or a portable P11; the oldest Q4 35 e-tron accepts 7.2 kW over two phases, but it gets the same charger - more in the next question. The twenty plug-in versions have less: 17 of them accept 7.4 kW and three only 3.6-3.7 kW. The 7.4 kW hybrids - the Q5, Q7, Q8, A6, A7 and A8 TFSI e - draw that power over two phases, so they also get a three-phase Q11 or P11: a single-phase 7.4 kW device would give them only half. The three weakest hybrids get a Q37 or P35.
Which charger for the Audi Q4 e-tron?
Every Q4 e-tron gets a Q11 or P11. Most versions accept the full 11 kW; the oldest Q4 35 e-tron from 2021-2023 accept 7.2 kW, but draw it over two phases, so a three-phase Q11 also gives them their full power - a single-phase 7.4 kW device would give them only 3.6 kW. That is why we do not recommend a Q74 or P72 for any Q4.
Which Audi will be satisfied with a 3.7 kW charger?
Only three versions out of 90 in our database. These are the oldest plug-in hybrids, which accept 3.6 or 3.7 kW. For them the right choice is a Q37, or a P35 if you prefer operating from a display rather than an app. If you own an Audi from this group, 11 kW equipment will not shorten charging by a single minute.
From 7.5 to 106 kWh - how long does charging at home take?
It depends on the battery, and the spread across the Audi range is enormous: from 7.5 kWh in plug-in hybrids to 106 kWh in the large e-trons. Small hybrid batteries charge at 3.7 kW in 2-3 hours. For a large electric car with a battery over 90 kWh at 11 kW, count on 9-11 hours.
Do you need a Type 1 cable for an Audi?
No. All 90 Audi versions from the 2014-2026 model years that we hold use a Type 2 socket. No adapter or Type 1 cable is required. Our portable chargers and wallboxes in the Type 2 version fit the entire range, from the hybrid A3 Sportback to the e-tron GT.
Is it worth paying extra for a 22 kW charger?
There is no point. None of the 90 Audi versions in our database accepts more than 11 kW from an AC socket. A Q22 will deliver exactly the same as a Q11 while demanding a stronger electrical installation. The ceiling for this brand is 11 kW, meaning the Q11 or the P11 with a display.
