The offside socket is the combined Type 2 and CCS inlet and takes rapid charging as well; the nearside one handles AC only. The practical effect is that your charge point always has an inlet on its own side of the car, so you can buy for the shorter run rather than the longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth confirming your own car has both, because we have not been able to establish whether the second inlet was standard on every UK trim. Open the flap on each wing and you will know in five seconds. If it does have two, buy for the shorter of the two runs rather than the longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThree battery sizes across the life of the car\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe e-tron 50 quattro holds 64.7 kWh usable from a 71 kWh pack, quoted between 171 and 209 miles. The e-tron 55 quattro holds 83.6 kWh, raised to 86.5 in a 2020 update, for 222 to 271 miles. All of them use the same 11 kW three phase charger, with 22 kW available as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat headline assumes three phases arriving at the wall box. With one, which is what a house has, it is 7.4 kW. That makes the 32A single phase cable the right buy, and any published charge time faster than the table below assumes three phases. The 22 kW option halves charge times where three phases exist, and does nothing whatever on a driveway.\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, 64.7 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 86.5 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, 32A single phase at home\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, three phase at 11 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.0 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 38 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 hours 30 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. The miles column uses 3.5 miles per kWh, which holds up in winter as well as summer. Columns are the e-tron 50 and the later e-tron 55. DC rapid charging is 150 kW, so a long run is handled without this cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThirteen hours from empty on the larger pack sounds long, and is almost never experienced. The pattern that matters is the overnight top-up, and a seven hour off peak window puts roughly 180 miles back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for an e-tron\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure to the nearer of the two front wings, not to the one you happened to notice first. That is the whole trick on this car: on almost any layout one of the two inlets is closer to the charge point than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe e-tron is 4.9 metres long, so if you were working from a single rear port you would be buying \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003e10 metres\u003c\/a\u003e without much argument. With a front inlet on both sides, 5 metres covers the great majority of home installations. Buy 10 metres if the charge point is set well back from the parking space rather than because of the car. The measurement that counts is the one taken with the car in its usual spot, plus a margin for the slack the lead needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction is to IEC 62196-2 with CE marking, IP55 weather protection and a -30C to +50C operating range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/type-2-to-3-pin-charging-cable\"\u003ethree pin cable\u003c\/a\u003e is built to IEC 62752, CE marked, sealed to IP67 and rated from -30C to +60C.
