Charging 101

Charging your Audi e-tron has never been easier.

Living Electric

Making the switch to an electric vehicle from a gas-powered vehicle requires a shift in the way you think about driving-most importantly, understanding how electric power works.

Charging Terms

What is a kW?

Charging power is measured using kilowatts (kW), the rate at which energy is being generated (charging) or consumed (driving). Generally, the higher the number, the faster the charge. The onboard charger on your Audi e-tron will dictate how many kilowatts can be used for charging.

What is a kWh?

Battery capacity is measured in kWh, or kilowatt hours, versus litres (as it is in a conventional gas tank). A kWh is essentially the amount of energy available or total energy capacity.

How do they work?

Imagine that power (kW) is like your speedometer, while energy (kWh) is like your odometer. The speedometer tells you how fast you're going (how much power you are using), while the odometer tells you how far you've gone (how much energy you've used total).

Charging at Home

Ready to Charge on Day One

Audi e-tron models come standard with the Audi Portable Charger. This is one way to charge your e-tron, however, for connectivity capability and longer cable lengths, consider a permanent home charging station.

Install a Permanent Home Charger

A permanent charger can be connected to home WiFi and applicable apps and devices. It can even be set up to charge when electricity rates are less. For Audi owners interested in home unit purchase and installation, we offer the expertise of our professional partners-Electrify Canada and RocketEV.

Charge on the Road

Where, when, and how do you charge? Canada has over 7,000 public charging stations that are compatible with your Audi e-tron.

Public Charging

There are many public charging stations that make up a network, and they typically belong to the same operator to be used with a single account. Some networks, however, have interoperability agreements, which means an account on one network may also be used to charge (and pay) at another network.

Lightning-Fast Charging

Faster than your average trip to the grocery store, your battery can charge 0%-80% in as little as 30 minutes when connected at a public charging station.* Most public charging stations offer DC fast charging.

*Estimated charging times are provided as a reference only. Actual charging times will vary based on battery state of charge, driving behaviour, battery condition, current, resistance, and ambient temperature, available voltage, and charging frequency.

7,000 stations across Canada. Find one near you.

Finding a public charging station near you is easy. Simply access the PlugShare map to locate all of the available EV public charging stations near you.

Paying at Public Stations

In most cases, payment is required to charge at a public site. Payment methods vary, including: credit card, network RFID charge card, mobile app, or phone. Not every site offers every payment method, so contact the network operator to find out which payment methods are accepted. Charging fees differ between sites.

Save with Electrify Canada

Your Audi e-tron includes complimentary, 4-years access to the Electrify Canada charging network (or 1,400 kWh). Electrify Canada is the nation's leading public charging network of cross-country stations that allow you to recharge on long trips in metro areas.*

*Includes 4 years or 1,400 kWh of DC fast charging sessions (with 1-hour intervals between charges) on the Electrify Canada HPC Charging Network. Not available for commercial use vehicles (such as ride shares) and is not transferable. Requires Electrify Canada account, app, valid credit card and acceptance of Terms of Use. After vehicle reaches full charge, and 10-min grace period, idle fees will apply.

Tested for Excellence.

Audi e-tron batteries go through rigorous testing. Batteries feature independent cells that can be replaced by an Audi Certified EV technician, rather than replacing the entire battery, which helps ensure cost savings.

EV Lifestyle - Even in Snow

Audi electric vehicles excel in most driving conditions, from the harshest Canadian winters in NL to the rains in BC. All e-tron vehicles come standard with our electric quattro all-wheel drive system, which helps ensure optimal handling in all weather conditions.
