Charging time, 10 → 80%
Modelled using the Audi Q4 e-tron's actual charging curve, not a flat headline rate.
| Charger | Time (10→80%) | Avg delivered |
|---|---|---|
| 7kW home (single-phase) | 7h 42m | 7.0kW |
| 22kW destination (three-phase) | 4h 54m | 11.0kW |
| 50kW rapid | 1h 5m | 50.0kW |
| 150kW ultra-rapid | 30m | 106.1kW |
| 250kW peak | 30m | 108.8kW |
| 350kW | 30m | 108.8kW |
Why the AC numbers look low at home
The Q4 e-tron is rated at 11kW, but that figure needs a three-phase supply — which almost no UK home has. British houses are single-phase (230V, typically 32A), so a home charger delivers around 7.4kW and the car can't exceed it. The 11kW rating only matters at 11kW and 22kW destination chargers.
None of this affects rapid charging: DC bypasses the onboard charger entirely, which is why the 175kW figure above is unaffected.
Charging curve
Maximum power the Q4 e-tron accepts at each state of charge. The curve drops sharply above 80%, which is why most rapid-charging sessions end there.
