Recommended equipment for a Audi
Based on the most common Audi configuration, Type 2 plug and single-phase charging. Every model page refines it by version.
At home, on a reinforced socket
The simplest way to charge every night: a Green'up socket fitted by an electrician, much safer than a household socket, with the 16 A cable of your Audi.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Audi accepts three-phase power: this 32 A Type 2 cable uses its 7.4 kW on 11 and 22 kW chargers.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Audi charges in single phase, up to 7.4 kW: this Type 2 cable is all it needs on any charger, in town or at home.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Audi has a Type 1 inlet: this Type 2 / Type 1 cable connects it to public chargers and to wallboxes with a Type 2 socket.
A wallbox at home
A 22 kW three-phase wallbox uses the 7.4 kW of your Audi and will keep up with your next car.
A wallbox at home
A 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, the most your Audi accepts at home, with smart control to charge at off-peak rates.
