Audi's own figure for a full charge is about two and a half hours on a 7 kW wall box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the number worth holding on to. Nearly eighteen kilowatt hours in two and a half hours means the car is drawing over seven, which is a very different machine from the 3.6 kW-capped A3 and Q3 plug-ins. On an A7 the 32A cable is doing real work every single night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe one thing the sources argue about\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a genuine disagreement in the sources here and it is worth knowing about. The German technical classification treats 7.4 kW as a two phase figure, which would cut a British house to roughly 3.7 kW. Against that, Audi's own published wall box times only work if the car really does draw close to 7.4 kW from one phase, and its American material describes the same drivetrain filling in 2.4 hours from a single phase outlet. The weight of evidence favours 32A. If the price difference matters to you, ask a dealer for the single phase rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 17.9 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 32A at 7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree pin from a 13A socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFigures are calculated rather than quoted: battery divided by power, 13 per cent for losses, quarter hour rounding.

Buy a used one without a cable in the boot and it is a petrol car until you do. For a car of this size and price that is worth stating plainly: there is no motorway shortcut on an A7 TFSI e. Everything the battery receives comes down this cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for an A7 TFSI e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have not found the charge port position published for the A7 specifically.

If the flap is at the rear, that is the awkward case, and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003e10 metres\u003c\/a\u003e is the size that works.
