Audi RS e-tron GT EV charger: which one fits best?
The Audi RS e-tron GT charges at home on alternating current (AC), through a three-phase Type 2 connection. The standard on-board charger runs at 11 kW. Audi also offered a 22 kW on-board charger as a paid factory option on the 2021-2024 models. On the motorway the 800 volt system takes over and the car charges far faster.

For the Audi RS e-tron GT we recommend a charger from our 11 kW EV chargers.
Did your car leave the factory with the optional 22 kW on-board charger? Then a model from our 22 kW EV chargers charges it twice as fast. Do check your supply first: a 22 kW charger needs a three-phase 32 A supply.
Charging specifications of the Audi RS e-tron GT
The figures below apply to the RS e-tron GT built from 2021 to 2024. The facelifted model launched in mid-2024 has a different battery and a higher DC peak.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Usable battery capacity | 83.7 kWh |
| Max. AC charging power (home) | 11 kW (three-phase); 22 kW with the factory option on 2021–2024 models |
| Range (WLTP) | up to 472 km |
| Charging time with an 11 kW EV charger | about 9 hours 15 minutes (including charging losses) |
| Charging connector | Type 2 |
| DC fast charging | up to 270 kW (800 V architecture) |
Which EV charger suits the Audi RS e-tron GT?
The car charges on three phases, so your home charger should do the same. An 11 kW charger uses the standard on-board charger in full. Look at three features before you choose. A certified kWh meter, also called a MID meter, sits inside the charger. It measures what you charge at home separately from the rest of your household use. You then know exactly what charging costs you.
Be aware of one gap. At 11 kW the choice of models with such a meter is small. Most chargers with a certified MID meter run at 22 kW, and those need a three-phase 32 A supply.
The second feature is app control. With an EV charger with app you start, stop and follow a charging session from your phone. The third is load balancing. A charger with dynamic load balancing watches what the rest of your house uses. It then turns its own power down when the rest of the house draws a lot at once, so your main fuse stays intact.
Most of these features sit together in our range of home EV chargers, so that is the easiest place to start comparing. A qualified electrician should always check the supply and connect the charger, whatever you choose. We install your new EV charger at your home in the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany, through our certified installation partner. You can read the details on our installation page. We ship worldwide, but that installation service covers those three countries only.
How long does the Audi RS e-tron GT take to charge?
The Audi RS e-tron GT charging time from empty to full is about 9 hours 15 minutes on an 11 kW charger. That is more than the bare sum of 83.7 kWh divided by 11 kW, because charging always costs some energy in losses. With the optional 22 kW on-board charger and a 22 kW charger, that same session takes just under five hours. In practice you rarely arrive home empty, so one night on the charger is plenty.
Charging speed on a long trip is a different story for the Audi RS e-tron GT. Thanks to the 800 volt architecture the car takes up to 270 kW from a DC fast charger. Under ideal conditions that takes it from 5 to 80 percent in about 22.5 minutes. You use that speed on the road, not at home.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Audi RS e-tron GT need a three-phase connection?
Yes, for the full 11 kW at home. The Audi RS e-tron GT charging port is a Type 2 socket. At home the car draws its charging power across three phases. On a single-phase supply you still charge, but more slowly. Have a qualified electrician check whether your fuse box can carry three phases.
Why does the RS e-tron GT charge so much more slowly at home than at a fast charger?
The 270 kW applies to direct current (DC) fast charging along the motorway, which the 800 volt architecture makes possible. At home you charge on alternating current, and there the car's own on-board charger sets the pace. That charger runs at 11 kW as standard. Audi did offer a 22 kW on-board charger as a paid factory option on the 2021-2024 models. If your car has it, a 22 kW charger charges it twice as fast. Check the vehicle documents to see which version you own.
