Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro EV charger: which one fits best?
The Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro charges at home at up to 11 kW over a three-phase connection. That decides which charger fits, because an 11 kW unit uses the onboard charger fully, while a 22 kW unit adds no speed. With a 76.6 kWh usable battery, charging time is worth weighing.

Which charger fits the Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro?
The 45 quattro charges at 11 kW at home, so an 11 kW charger with a Type 2 socket is the logical pick. A 22 kW charger adds nothing, because the onboard charger caps at 11 kW. An 11 kW model gives you the car's full home charging speed.
Worth a closer look is the MID meter, a certified kWh meter that records your charging accurately. In the Netherlands you can earn back around 10 cents per kWh you charge at home from 2026. That only works with such a certified meter, and the scheme applies in the Netherlands only. At 11 kW a built-in MID meter is still uncommon, so if it matters to you, pick a model that has one. Our chargers with a MID meter show which models qualify.
For a battery this size, a charger with dynamic load balancing helps too. It keeps your home connection from overloading during a long overnight charge. If you just want a reliable starting point, browse our home chargers.

How long does the Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro take to charge?
The usable battery is 76.6 kWh. The bare sum on an 11 kW charger is 76.6 divided by 11, about 7 hours from empty to full. With charging losses, count on closer to 8 hours. Plug in at 23:00 and the car is ready in the morning. On the road you use a fast charger. Over DC the car takes up to 175 kW, so 10 to 80 percent takes about half an hour. For public charging you may want a separate Type 2 charging cable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro need a three-phase connection?
Yes, to reach the full 11 kW at home you need a three-phase connection with 3x16 amps. On single phase the power drops to about 3.7 kW and charging takes longer. Your grid operator can arrange a three-phase connection.
Why is a MID meter important for the Q4 e-tron 45 quattro?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records your home charging precisely. That helps when you settle charging costs with an employer or lease company, which suits a company car. In the Netherlands it is also required for the 2026 earn-back scheme, in the Netherlands only. At 11 kW a built-in MID meter is still uncommon, so check the spec before you buy.
Can the Audi Q4 e-tron 45 quattro charge at 22 kW?
No, the onboard charger accepts a maximum of 11 kW AC. A 22 kW charger will not charge this car faster. If you want to stay future-proof for a next car, a model that can later run at 22 kW is a sensible choice.
