For Volkswagen we cover 27 models and 83 versions from model years 2014-2026: 23 plug-in hybrids and 60 electric cars. As many as 67 versions have 11 kW onboard, so in practice the right match is almost always a Q11 or P11 portable charger or wallbox. The exceptions are nine versions with 3.6 or 3.7 kW, covered by the Q37 or P35, and seven versions with 7.2 kW, which charge over two phases, so they also get a three-phase Q11 or P11. Batteries range between 7.4 and 86 kWh, and the connector is always Type 2.

Charging Volkswagen - FAQ
Which charger for the Volkswagen ID.3 or ID.4?
Most ID.3 and ID.4 models accept 11 kW and then we match a Q11 or P11. Watch out for the Pure versions: the ID.3 Pure, the ID.3 Pure Performance and the ID.4 Pure Performance have 7.2 kW onboard, but they draw it over two phases. That is why they also get a three-phase Q11 or P11 - a single-phase 7.4 kW device would give them only around 3.6 kW.
How does the match differ for Volkswagen plug-in hybrids?
The database holds 23 plug-in hybrids and 60 electric cars, and the hybrids do not form one group. The older eHybrid and GTE models (9 versions) accept 3.6-3.7 kW, so a Q37 or P35 applies there - the smallest pack holds 7.4 kWh. The newest 1.5 eHybrid models from 2024 (12 versions) accept 11 kW, meaning a Q11 or P11. The Touareg eHybrid takes 7.2 kW over two phases and, like the e-Golf, the e-Up! and the ID. Pure versions, also gets a three-phase Q11. We check the AC power and the number of phases, not the drivetrain type.
Do the ID. Buzz LWB and NWB variants differ in charger match?
They do not. Every ID. Buzz version in the database accepts 11 kW, so we match a Q11 or P11. Only the battery differs: the NWB up to 79 kWh is around 7-8 hours, the LWB up to 86 kWh around 8 hours. A longer body does not change the onboard power, so the equipment stays the same.
Is there a version in the Volkswagen range that suits a Q22?
There is not. Across the whole range, meaning 83 versions, the highest AC power is 11 kW. A Q22 has nothing to use here and will charge the car exactly as a Q11 does. That is why the ceiling remains a portable charger or a Q11 wallbox, or a P11 with a display. We match power to the car, not in reserve.
How long does charging a plug-in hybrid with a 7.4 kWh pack take?
At 3.6 kW that is around 2 hours, at 7.2 kW little more than an hour. Small packs are topped up quickly, so a more powerful device is not necessary here. By comparison, an electric car with an 86 kWh battery at 11 kW needs around 8 hours.
Do the commercial e-Transporter and e-Caravelle need a different socket?
No. All 83 versions in the database, from the 2014 to the 2026 model year, have Type 2. Type 1 and the B35 model do not occur in this range. The differences come down to onboard power: 3.6, 7.2 or 11 kW - and that is what decides the charger.
