Audi Q4 e-tron onboard charger

The Audi Q4 e-tron uses an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger for AC charging in Europe.

Last updated Jul 15, 2026

The onboard charger converts alternating current (AC) from a wallbox or public AC charge point into the direct current (DC) stored by the battery. Current European Q4 e-tron versions support up to 11 kW three-phase AC charging.

The actual charging power is limited by the lowest-rated part of the connection: the charge point, cable, onboard charger or local electrical supply. A single-phase connection therefore delivers less than 11 kW even when the car supports that maximum.

In Europe, the AC connection uses the Type 2 part of the CCS2 charge port. Connector type and charging equipment differ in other markets.

DC fast charging does not pass through the onboard charger. A DC charger supplies regulated direct current to the vehicle’s high-voltage battery through the CCS connection.

Portable charging equipment and cables are market-specific and are not necessarily included as standard. For regular home charging, use a professionally installed wallbox and electrical installation suitable for continuous load.
