Audi Q4 e-tron Home Charging: Complete UK Guide (2026)
Charging Specs
The Q4 e-tron uses a Type 2 connector, which means every UK home charger will work. One variant quirk: the entry-level Q4 35 has a 7.4 kW onboard AC charger, while the 40/45/50 step up to 11 kW. On single-phase UK supply (most homes), all of them cap at 7 kW.
