Which Charging Cable Should I Get for My Audi E-Tron?
As one of Audi’s flagship electric vehicles, the Audi E-Tron delivers cutting-edge performance and luxury EV driving. But to get the most out of your E-Tron, it's crucial to choose the right EV charging cable—whether you're plugging in at home, at work, or on the go.
In this guide, we’ll break down everything UK EV drivers need to know to select the perfect charging cable for the Audi E-Tron, ensuring maximum efficiency, safety, and long-term compatibility.
Charging Compatibility: What You Need to Know
The Audi E-Tron, like most electric vehicles in the UK, uses a Type 2 connector for AC charging and comes equipped with CCS (Combined Charging System) for rapid DC charging.
Quick overview:
-
Home & public AC charging: Type 2 to Type 2 EV charging cable.
-
Rapid charging stations: CCS cable already provided (no separate cable needed).

Choosing the Right Charging Cable for Your Audi E-Tron
1. Connector Type – Type 2
All Audi E-Tron models use the European standard Type 2 connector for AC charging. This makes it easy to charge at home or most public charge points across the UK.
2. Single-Phase vs Three-Phase Charging Cables
-
Single-phase (up to 7.4kW): Best for standard UK home charging.
-
Three-phase (up to 22kW): Ideal for faster public charging and homes with a 3-phase supply.

3. Cable Length Options
EVwired provides cables in 5m, 7m, 10m and 15m lengths. Your choice will depend on:
-
Charger-to-car distance at home or in car parks.
-
Flexibility for tight parking spaces or street-side charging.
Charging at Home
Installing a wall-box charger and using a Type 2 cable is the most cost-effective and convenient method. You can charge overnight and take advantage of off-peak energy tariffs.
Benefits:
-
Consistent, reliable charging.
-
Lower costs compared to public charging.
-
Compatible with smart charging apps.

Charging in Public
Many public chargers—especially at retail parks and workplaces—require you to bring your own Type 2 charging cable. A three-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable ensures compatibility and faster charging at these stations.
Rapid DC chargers, like those at motorway services, already have cables built-in—just plug in and go.
