Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron 45 / 55 quattro EV charger: which one fits best?
The Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron 45 and 55 quattro both charge at home at up to 11 kW. They use a Type 2 connection. With the largest battery in the Q4 range, 77 kWh usable, you want to use that full 11 kW. That works only on a three-phase connection, so a connection with three power wires instead of one.

Which EV charger fits the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron 45 / 55 quattro?
Because the quattro charges on three phases, you get the full 11 kW at home from a three-phase charger. A 22 kW model does not charge this Audi any faster, because the car limits itself to 11 kW. Almost every charger we recommend has a built-in MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter that records your charging accurately. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private drivers can earn back up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. A charger with a MID meter is therefore smart for almost everyone.
Browse all 11 kW EV chargers in our range. Do you have a tight meter box, for example because of a heat pump? Then load balancing is wise. The charger keeps measuring how much power your home uses. It then adjusts the charging power automatically, so your main fuse does not trip.
How long does the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron 45 / 55 quattro take to charge?
With an 11 kW charger you divide 77 kWh by 11 kW, which comes to around 7 hours for a full battery. In practice it takes a bit longer because of charging losses, so count on over 8 hours. Plug the car in overnight and you drive off with a full battery in the morning. On a single-phase connection the charging power is lower, so a full charge takes clearly longer. For the full 11 kW you need a three-phase connection. On the road you top up at a fast charger, since this quattro charges at DC up to 175 kW.
The Q4 Sportback e-tron has a Type 2 connection. You only need a matching Type 2 charging cable when you charge at a public point on the road. At home you charge through the charger's fixed cable. For daily home charging, an EV home charger is the easy starting point.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron quattro need a three-phase connection?
For the full 11 kW, yes. The quattro can charge across three phases, so a three-phase connection and an 11 kW charger use the full speed. On a single-phase connection the charging power is lower. We recommend having the connection done by a qualified electrician, which is safer and important for your insurance. Wallbox Discounter can arrange installation in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany. Shipping is worldwide, but installation covers only those three countries.
Why is a MID meter important for this Audi?
A MID-certified kWh meter records exactly how much power you charge. From 2026 in the Netherlands only, private drivers can earn back up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. Business drivers settle their charging sessions the same way. A charger with a MID meter is therefore smart for almost everyone. If you are unsure, we help you choose for free by phone or WhatsApp.
