Which Charging Cable Should I Get for My Audi EV?
Audi’s growing e-tron range has become a popular choice for UK drivers looking for premium electric performance. Whether you drive the Audi Q4 e-tron, Q8 e-tron, or e-tron GT, one question remains the same — which charging cable should I get for my Audi EV?
To make the most of your Audi’s charging capability, you’ll need a Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable — the standard connection for all Audi electric vehicles in the UK. This is the cable you'll use for everyday home, workplace, and public charging.

What Charging Connector Does an Audi EV Use?
All modern Audi electric vehicles are fitted with:
-
Type 2 AC connector – for regular home and public AC charging.
-
CCS connector (Combined Charging System) – for rapid DC charging (no cable required as these chargers are tethered).
Audi EV Charging Speeds
Depending on your model and charger type, Audi EVs offer the following AC charging speeds:
| Audi Model | Max AC Charging Speed | Charging Connector |
|---|---|---|
| Audi Q4 e-tron | 11kW (3-phase) | Type 2 + CCS |
| Audi Q8 e-tron | 11kW (22kW optional) | Type 2 + CCS |
| Audi e-tron GT | 11kW (22kW optional) | Type 2 + CCS |
| Audi Q6 e-tron | 11kW (3-phase) | Type 2 + CCS |
Which Cable Should I Choose?
The best cable depends on your charging setup and where you charge most often:
-
For Home Charging: Choose a 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable (7.4kW) — this is ideal for overnight charging with a wall box charge point.
-
For Public Charging or Workplaces: Go for a 32A three-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable (22kW) to make the most of faster AC charge points and future-proof your setup.
