Twenty two kilowatt hours in under four hours is a genuine 32A proposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2016 to 2019 Q7 e-tron is the diesel plug-in and a much older machine: 17.3 kWh and about 34 miles. Its charger rating is not something we can pin down, and the two sources we found disagree by nearly a factor of two, so we have set out both below rather than pick one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2016 to 2019 diesel, and an unresolved figure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne UK motoring source says a full charge on a Type 2 wall box takes about two and a half hours. A manufacturer video for the same car says four hours forty five. On a 17.3 kWh battery those imply roughly 3.5 kW and 1.8 kW respectively, which is a wide gap on a question that decides whether 16A or 32A is right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEither way the answer lands on 16A being sufficient, because both figures sit well below what a 16A lead carries. If you have the diesel e-tron, buy 16A and spend the difference on getting the length right.\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, 17.3 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 22 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\u003e3 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\u003e5 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 hours 45 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 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 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\u003eHours are worked from battery size against power drawn, plus a 13 per cent allowance for what is lost as heat, rounded to fifteen minutes. Columns are the 2016 to 2019 diesel e-tron and the current TFSI e. Read the diesel down the 16A row, which sits above anything either source credits it with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo Q7 plug-in of any generation, diesel or petrol, has ever had a DC socket. On a two and a half tonne seven seater that is a real constraint rather than a technicality: the electric range exists for the school run and the commute, and on a long motorway journey the petrol or diesel engine simply does the work while the battery sits empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth a caveat. The technical classification used in Germany says 7.4 kW here needs two phases, which a British house does not have. Audi's own wall box timings contradict that outright, and timings are harder to misfile than categories. We read it as a car that genuinely uses a 32A cable, while noting that the evidence is not unanimous and that a dealer can confirm it for your car in a phone call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a Q7\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things push this one towards a longer cable. The Q7 is 5.07 metres long and well over two metres wide with the mirrors out, so it takes up the full width of most domestic garages and drives, and the flap position is not published by anybody we would rely on. One non-UK reference puts the older car's socket above the left rear wheel arch; we have not been able to corroborate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuying 5 metres on a vehicle this size with an unknown port position is a gamble, and the failure mode is a cable that reaches only if you park within a foot of the same spot every time. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eTen metres\u003c\/a\u003e removes the problem.
