(DC) charging stations
Audi recommends using alternating current (AC)
to charge the high-voltage battery at industrial
sockets, charging stations, or a wallbox. This will
allow you to achieve higher efficiency and a con-
siderably shorter charging time when compared
to charging with a household socket.
Only use household sockets to charge with the
Audi e-tron charging system in special circum-
stances, when it is not possible to charge with an
industrial alternating current (AC) socket or with
a public alternating current (AC) or direct current
(DC) charging station.
High-voltage batteries age over time, which re-
duces the available range. High-voltage batteries
can also age based on how they are used: fre-
quently charging the high-voltage battery com-
pletely can accelerate the aging of the battery
and reduce the available range.
Charging at household and industrial sockets
or at public charging stations with
alternating current (AC)
The vehicle's high-voltage battery can be charged
with alternating current (AC) via the charging
port © on the driver's side. Depending on the ve-
hicle equipment, there may be a second charging
port © on the front passenger's side. Both
charging ports have the same charging power.
You can use whichever charging port is more con-
venient for your charging setup. When using one
charging port, the opposite charging port is
locked.
Quick charging at public direct current (DC)
charging stations
The vehicle’s high-voltage battery can be charged
ata direct current (DC) charging station via the
charging port on the driver's side ©). The charg-
ing time shortens significantly compared to
charging with alternating current (AC). The
charging cable used may be a maximum of 98
feet (30 m).
Charging time
The duration of the charging process may vary
based on the following factors:
— Sockets being used (household or industrial
sockets)
— Country-specific system voltage, current
strength and number of available phases
— Household connection
~The value set for the charging power level on.
the Audi charging system control unit
— Fluctuations in the system voltage
~The temperature outside the vehicle
~The temperature of the high-voltage battery
and the Audi charging system control unit.
~ Settings for the climate control inside the vehi-
cle
— Current capacity of the charging connector
— Whether the ignition is on or off
Important safety precau
Short circuiting, electric shock, explosions,
fire, and severe burns can result from charg-
ing the battery incorrectly (for example by
disregarding general safety precautions, us-
ing unsuitable or damaged sockets and charg-
ing cables, or charging with unsuitable elec-
trical equipment) and can lead to serious and
fatal injuries.
Do not charge using sockets/electrical
equipment that is clearly damaged or instal-
led incorrectly. >
