Audi E-Tron charging cable

The Audi e-tron (2019–2022) was Audi's first mass-production electric vehicle, available as an SUV and Sportback in two main variants. The 50 quattro carries a 71 kWh battery with 64.7 kWh usable. The 55 quattro and e-tron S carry a 95 kWh battery with 86.5 kWh usable, following a software update that became available in late 2021. Both variants share the same 11 kW three-phase onboard charger as standard, with a 22 kW three-phase charger available as a factory option. The primary CCS Type 2 inlet sits on the front left flank, ahead of the driver's door. Audi optionally offered a second AC-only port on the opposite front flank for added flexibility in awkward parking bays. Check your order documentation to confirm which charger and port configuration your car has.

Two variants, one cable

A Voldt® Type 2 charging cable at 11 kW covers all e-tron variants. On the 50 quattro at 11 kW, a full charge takes around six and a half hours. On the 55 quattro and e-tron S, around eight and a half to nine hours. If your car has the optional 22 kW charger, those times come down to around three and a half hours for the 50 quattro and just under five hours for the 55 quattro at a compatible three-phase public post. A 22 kW cable works equally well at 11 kW and is worth considering if you plan to use it with a higher-capacity vehicle in the future.

The front-left port suits nose-in parking well, keeping the socket close to the post in most scenarios. An 8-metre cable is the practical standard for mixed home and public use. A 10-metre cable removes uncertainty at public bays where the post is set further back. A 15-metre cable handles longer driveways and hotel car parks without compromise.

Charging away from home

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable connects to industrial CEE sockets and is available up to 22 kW via three-phase CEE. For the standard 11 kW e-tron, output is capped at the car's onboard charger ceiling. On a 16A three-phase CEE socket (11 kW), the 50 quattro charges fully in around six and a half hours; the 55 quattro in around eight and a half to nine hours. On a 32A three-phase socket (22 kW), the result is the same for cars with the standard 11 kW charger. Cars fitted with the optional 22 kW charger will benefit from the full socket output, cutting those times to around three and a half hours and just under five hours respectively.

Red three-phase CEE sockets are found at industrial sites, workshops, and some commercial marinas. Standard European campsite hookup points use blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets, which cap output at 3.7 kW. At that rate, the 50 quattro takes around 19 hours for a full charge; the 55 quattro around 26 hours. A campsite blue socket is adequate for a partial top-up during a multi-night stay, but not a practical source for a full charge on a single overnight stop.
