Audi Q4 e-tron 35 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Audi Q4 e-tron 35 charges at home at up to 7.2 kW. It draws that power from two phases, and that detail decides which charger you need. On a single-phase charge point this Audi falls back to 3.6 kW. The other Q4 versions charge differently, and our overview of Audi EV chargers shows what each one needs.
For the Q4 e-tron 35 we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger suits the Audi Q4 e-tron 35?
Two-phase charging is the key to this car. The onboard charger draws 3.6 kW from each of two phases, which adds up to 7.2 kW. Two-phase chargers are not sold anywhere, so your real choice is between single-phase and three-phase.
A three-phase 11 kW charger offers three phases. Your Audi simply uses two of them and reaches its full speed. A single-phase charger has one phase to give, so the car stops at 3.6 kW and needs twice as long.
That is why 11 kW is the right choice here, even though the car never draws the full 11 kW. A 22 kW charger adds nothing, because the onboard charger sets the ceiling. Spend the difference on features you will actually use.
Watch for a built-in MID meter when you compare models. That is a certified kWh meter, and it records exactly how much energy you charge at home. You see what your charging really costs, separately from the rest of your electricity bill. The same reading lets you invoice an employer or leasing company. In the Netherlands it is worth more still: from 2026 drivers there claim back up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. That scheme runs in the Netherlands only. You can filter straight to our chargers with an MID meter.
Two more features are worth checking here. This Audi charges through the night, so chargers with dynamic load balancing matter. They measure what the rest of your home is using and lower the charging power to match, so the group never trips. Chargers with an app let you shift charging to the cheapest hours. Most of these features come together in our home EV chargers, which is where the choice for a Q4 e-tron 35 usually lands.
The Q4 e-tron 35 uses a type 2 socket, the same standard as every EV charger we sell. You only need a separate type 2 charging cable when you charge at a public point on the road.
How long does the Audi Q4 e-tron 35 take to charge?
The calculation is straightforward. A net battery of 52 kWh divided by 7.2 kW comes to roughly 7 hours. Charging is never fully efficient, so count on around 8.5 hours from empty to full.
Plug in at 23:00 and the car is ready in the morning without any planning. On a single-phase charge point that same charge takes about 16 hours. That no longer fits in one night.
On the road the Q4 e-tron 35 is quick. At a DC fast charger it takes up to roughly 115 kW. That moves the battery from 10 to 80 percent in a little over half an hour.
Other versions of the Audi Q4 e-tron

- Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, the coupé version
Frequently asked questions
Does the Audi Q4 e-tron 35 charge faster on an 11 kW or 22 kW charger?
Not faster than 7.2 kW, because the onboard charger caps the speed. But you do need a three-phase connection to reach that 7.2 kW. The car draws from two of those three phases, and a single-phase unit can only offer one.
How do I check what my Q4 e-tron 35 charges at?
Your order documents and the vehicle handbook state the onboard charger fitted to your car. Check them before you choose a charge point. A three-phase 11 kW charger is the safe choice in every case.
Do I need a charger with an MID meter?
It pays off for almost everyone. An MID meter records your home charging in a legally recognised way. You see exactly what charging costs you, and you can invoice an employer or leasing company. A charger without one is cheaper today and closes that door later.
Should an electrician connect the charger?
We always recommend it. A qualified electrician makes the connection safer, and in many countries your insurer or grid operator sets conditions for it. Rules differ per country, so check what applies where you live.
Does Wallbox Discounter install the charger?
We arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Our certified partner carries out the work. We ship our chargers worldwide, but the installation service covers those three countries only. You can read the details on our installation page.
