Audi Q4 e-tron 40 EV charger: which one fits best?
The Audi Q4 e-tron 40 charges at home at up to 11 kW through a Type 2 connection. You only reach that figure with a three-phase supply. Three-phase power means the current arrives over three wires at once, which charges faster than a single phase. On a single-phase connection the car falls back to 7.4 kW.

Which EV charger fits the Audi Q4 e-tron 40?
Because the Q4 e-tron 40 charges at 11 kW at home, you choose a three-phase 11 kW charger. A 22 kW unit adds nothing, since the car never draws more than 11 kW. Look for a charger with a built-in MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter which records exactly how much you charge.
From 2026, private drivers in the Netherlands earn back up to 500 euros a year through their energy supplier. That only works with a certified meter, and the scheme is available in the Netherlands only. Everywhere else the meter still earns its keep, because it gives you readings your employer or leasing company accepts. Buying a charger without one means giving that up from day one.
The 11 kW EV chargers are your starting point. The Q4 charges for hours at a time, so chargers with load balancing are worth a look. Load balancing means the charger measures how much power your home uses and lowers the charging power when needed. With app control you move charging to the cheapest hours of the night.
The certified meter is a filter of its own in the chargers with a MID meter. For a first installation without complications, the home chargers are the simplest place to start.
We always advise having the connection made by a certified electrician. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. You can arrange the installation through Wallbox Discounter in the Netherlands and Flemish Belgium. For Germany you request a free quotation first. We ship worldwide, but in other countries you arrange a local electrician yourself.
How long does the Audi Q4 e-tron 40 take to charge?
The net battery of 76.6 kWh fills in about 8 hours on an 11 kW charger, charging losses included. Plug the car in around 23:00 and it is ready in the morning. On a single-phase 32 A connection the Q4 charges at 7.4 kW. A full charge then takes roughly 12 hours. In practice you usually top up part of the battery, so real charging times are shorter.
The Audi Q4 e-tron 40 has a Type 2 connection, like almost every modern charger. You only need a separate type 2 charging cable if you also charge away from home. At home you charge through the socket or the fixed cable of the charger.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Audi Q4 e-tron 40 need a three-phase connection?
You need three phases to charge at the full 11 kW at home. On a single-phase 32 A connection the Q4 e-tron 40 charges at 7.4 kW. Your grid operator can arrange a three-phase connection for you.
Why does a MID meter matter for the Q4 e-tron 40?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter inside the charger. It records your charging sessions accurately, so you can settle them with your employer or leasing company. It also shows exactly what the car used, separate from the rest of your household. Dutch drivers need one for the national scheme that starts in 2026.
