Audi UK quotes a full charge from empty in about two and a half hours on a 7 kW wall box, and that figure is the one that matters: 14.4 kWh in two and a half hours is an average close to 6 kW, which needs a charger well above the 3.6 kW cap that limits the smaller Audi plug-ins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo unlike the A3 and Q3 TFSI e, this is a car where the 32A lead does real work and a 16A one would roughly double every charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe one thing the sources argue about\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA note on how confident we are. Two respectable sources point different ways: the German data sheet calls this a two phase 7.4 kW figure, while Audi's own charge times imply the full rate is reached on a single phase. The times are the harder evidence, because an hours figure cannot be fudged the way a classification can. So we recommend the 32A lead, and we would rather tell you the argument exists than pretend it does not.\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, 14.4 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 15 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\u003e4 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\u003e7 hours\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\u003eThe arithmetic is simple: kWh over kW, 13 per cent on top for losses, rounded to the nearest quarter hour. Our calculated time and Audi's published two and a half hours land in the same place, which is a fair check on both.
