Audi e-tron S Sportback 55 quattro EV charger: which one fits best?
The Audi e-tron S Sportback 55 quattro is the S performance version, with three electric motors and serious power. At home it charges at 11 kW on a three-phase connection, the standard AC power of this e-tron S. The battery holds 95 kWh, of which around 86 kWh is usable. You want a charger that uses that full 11 kW. The overview of all EV chargers for Audi covers every model in the line-up.
For the Audi e-tron S Sportback 55 quattro we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.
Did you order the optional second onboard charger, the AC charger built into the car itself? Audi offers it for the e-tron S and it doubles AC charging to 22 kW. In that case look at our 22 kW EV chargers instead.

Which EV charger fits the Audi e-tron S Sportback 55 quattro?
This e-tron S charges at 11 kW at home. A three-phase 11 kW charger therefore gets the most out of the standard car. A 22 kW charger only adds speed if you have the optional second onboard charger. The S performance draws a lot of current and you often charge it alongside other appliances at home. A model with dynamic load balancing is therefore sensible. The charger keeps measuring how much room your fuse box has. It adjusts the charging power automatically, so your main fuse never trips.
Prefer a charger with a built-in MID meter, a calibrated kWh meter. It records your charging separately from the rest of your household use. So you know exactly what charging at home costs. In our range that calibrated meter starts at 11 kW, which suits this car well.

How long does the Audi e-tron S Sportback 55 quattro take to charge?
With an 11 kW charger, count on roughly 8 hours for an empty battery. The usable 86 kWh divided by 11 kW comes to just under 8 hours. With the optional second onboard charger and a 22 kW charger that roughly halves. In practice you rarely charge from completely empty to full. Plug the car in before you go to bed and it is ready for a full day of driving by morning. On the road you can rapid charge at up to 150 kW over the CCS connector, the fast-charging plug used at public stations. That helps on a long trip.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Audi e-tron S Sportback 55 quattro charge at 22 kW?
That depends on how the car was ordered. As standard the onboard charger goes up to 11 kW AC. A 22 kW charger then does not make it any faster. Audi offers an optional second onboard charger for the e-tron S, which doubles AC charging to 22 kW. Check your car's specification before you choose.
Do I need a three-phase connection for this e-tron S?
You need one to reach the full 11 kW. On a single-phase connection this car still charges at 7.4 kW, because its charger draws 32 A on one phase. That is well above the 3.7 kW a 16 A single-phase connection would give. With the large battery of the S Sportback it does mean longer charging times.
Should a qualified electrician install the charger?
The rules differ per country, so check what applies where you live. We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified electrician, because that is safer. Check what your own insurer requires. Wallbox Discounter arranges installation in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium, and in Germany through a free quotation. We ship worldwide, but we do not install worldwide.
