What type of charging plugs do Audi e-tron EVs use?

Audi e-tron vehicles are equipped with SAE Combined Charging System sockets (CCS).

What is the Audi Compact Charging System?

It is not the charger, technically speaking. This equipment is known as EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) and serves as a controller that ensures safe power delivery between your home and the vehicle.

How long does it take to charge an Audi e-tron EV?

Charging times can vary significantly based on the type and “level” of charging unit you use, as well as how much energy is left in the battery. For the e-tron SUV and Sportback, charging times are approximately: 0–100% on Level 2 AC 9.6 kW – about 10.5 hours* 0–80% on public DC 150 kW fast charger – about 30 minutes* *Estimated charging times are provided as a reference only. Actual charging times will vary based on battery state of charge, driving behavior, battery condition, current, resistance, and ambient temperature, available voltage, and charging frequency.

On average, how much does it cost to charge an Audi e-tron EV?

Charging costs vary depending on where you choose to charge, with some businesses even offering free charging. When charging at home, energy rates vary depending on the time of day. You can easily set charging times on your e-tron to ensure you utilize off-peak hours with the lowest rates.
