Levels of charging

There are three levels of charging speed that you can use to charge your Audi e-tron EV. The higher the level, the faster your e-tron can charge.

Level 1

Best suited for top-ups or emergencies. Uses a standard, 120V household wall receptacle. It provides 1.2 kW of charging power and can take several days^* to fully recharge.
Level 2

Best option for everyday charging at home. It is also available at public charging stations. Level 2 uses 240V, similar to what is used for an electric dryer. Level 2 charging can reduce charge time by several hours—perfect for overnight charging.^*

Level 3

Also known as DC fast charging. Found at public charging stations and delivers the highest charging power. For example, a 2023 Audi e-tron GT can charge from 5% to 80% in as little as 22.5 minutes when using a public, high-speed charging unit capable of charging at 270 kW.^*
