Charging cables and stations

The Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro uses a Type 2 (Mennekes) cable and is compatible with three-phase cables rated at 11 or 22 kW. Although the vehicle can accept a maximum of 11 kW, using a higher-rated cable is not an issue.

You can use charging stations with the following specifications:
– 3.7 kW (1 phase, 16A) – up to 3.7 kW charging
– 7.4 kW (1 phase, 32A) – also up to 3.7 kW charging
– 11 kW (3 phase, 16A) – full compatibility
– 22 kW (3 phase, 32A) – will charge at up to 11 kW

Compatibility with the electrical panel

The maximum charging speed depends not only on the vehicle’s capabilities but also on your electrical panel. If you only have a single-phase power supply, charging will be limited to 3.7 kW regardless of the charging station. If you are planning a transition to three-phase power, you can install a three-phase station and temporarily use it in single-phase mode.

Mobile Charging Device

Mobile chargers are suitable for charging via a standard household socket at home. For the Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro, you will need a Type 2 mobile charger. Due to the large battery capacity, they are more suitable as a backup option or for travel, since their charging speed is limited to about 2.3 – 3.7 kW.
