How to Charge Your Audi EV at Home

Charging your new Audi EV at home is simpler than you might think, offering the convenience of starting each day with a full battery. At Audi Silver Spring, we help drivers throughout the Washington, DC, metro area understand the essentials of home charging for their electric Audi models.

Setting Up Your Home Charging Station

Every new Audi EV comes equipped with a portable charging unit that works with both standard 120-volt household outlets and 240-volt outlets. For optimal charging speed, we recommend installing a 240-volt NEMA 14-50 outlet, which delivers Level 2 charging power. According to the Department of Energy, Level 2 charging can fully recharge your Audi e-tron in approximately 10 hours, perfect for overnight charging.

Understanding Audi EV Charging Technology

Audi electric vehicles use advanced charging technology with Type 2 connectors for home charging. The standard 11-kilowatt onboard charger efficiently manages power flow, while the sophisticated thermal management system maintains optimal battery temperature during charging.

Your Audi model’s charging system also offers smart features, including the ability to schedule charging during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower. The myAudi® app lets you monitor charging progress remotely, giving you complete control over your vehicle's energy management.

What About Level 3 Charging?

That’s a great question, and one we hear often. Those chargers use much higher voltage than is available at home, so you’ll only find them in public places.
