As a member of the Volkswagen Group, Audi represents the pinnacle of German engineering, combining refined luxury and thrilling performance. Since the brand’s introduction to the racing world in the early 1970s, Audi has long been a perennial powerhouse. In 2009, Audi began a new chapter in its nearly century-long history with the formation of the “e-tron” brand. A number of hybrid-electric vehicles and concept cars soon followed, leading to the release of Audi’s first-ever fully electric vehicle, also bearing the e-tron name, in 2019.
Here is a rundown of every available Audi electric vehicle, and discover the best Audi electric car charger options for each model.
The Audi Q8 e-tron is the first fully electric vehicle offering from Audi, and an early example of an expanding EV portfolio offered by the Volkswagen Group. Combining cutting edge engineering and sophisticated styling, the e-tron characterizes the careful design that Audi is known for in a groundbreaking new package. The Audi e-tron features industry-leading DC fast charging capabilities that enable a 30 minute charging time to get to 80% capacity.
For the 2024 model year, the e-tron will be renamed and placed under the Q8 lineup as the Q8 e-tron. With an increased battery of 106 kWh providing an estimated 300+ miles of range, the Q8 e-tron is being brought into 2024 as Audi’s flagship electric SUV.
In contrast to the smaller battery of the Audi A3 e-tron PHEV, the all-electric e-tron sports a 95 kWh lithium-ion battery with an EPA-rated driving range of 226 miles. The e-tron can charge at a rate up to 9.6 kW from Level 2 charger and 150 kW from a DC fast charger, making it one of the fastest charging EVs on the market. Both models use the industry-standard J1172 plug type for Level 2 charging. Of Audi’s offerings, only the Audi e-tron supports DC fast charging, using the SAE Combined Charging Connector (CCS) plug.
With a versatile line of home charging solutions, there is a JuiceBox for every electric Audi model. The JuiceBox® 32 can comfortably accommodate the smaller battery of the Audi A3 plug-in hybrid and max out the vehicle’s charge rate. With the e-tron’s large battery, it is important to have a powerful Level 2 charging station at home for all of your residential charging needs. Using a high performance Level 2 EV charger like the powerful JuiceBox 48, the e-tron has a charging time of around eight hours to charge fully. By comparison, it would take over 60 hours of continuous charging to charge the battery-powered vehicle with a Level 1 EV charging cable.
