A Q3 45 TFSI e from 2021 to 2024 needs only the 16A version, because its charger stops at 3.6 kW. A Q3 e-hybrid from 2025 takes 11 kW, so the 32A single phase cable is the home buy and the three phase cable is worth having if you use three phase posts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill a 22kW cable charge an Audi Q3 faster?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the 2025 Q3 e-hybrid it will, but only at a charge point fed by three live phases, where the car reaches its full 11 kW and fills in about two hours instead of three. At home the supply is single phase and the ceiling is 7.4 kW whatever cable you plug in. On the older 45 TFSI e a 22 kW cable makes no difference at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does an Audi Q3 TFSI e take to charge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudi quotes three hours 45 minutes from empty for the 45 TFSI e on a 3.6 kW supply, and about five hours from a three pin plug. The newer Q3 e-hybrid has a much larger battery and needs around three hours on a 7.4 kW home wallbox, or two hours where three phases are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the Q3 e-hybrid the same as the Q3 45 TFSI e?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Audi replaced the 45 TFSI e with the Q3 e-hybrid in 2025 and changed almost everything about the charging. The battery went from 13 kWh to 19.7 kWh usable, the electric range went from around 30 miles to as much as 73, and the onboard charger went from 3.6 kW to 11 kW.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes every Audi Q3 need a charging cable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the 45 TFSI e and the e-hybrid plug in. A petrol TFSI, a diesel TDI and the RS Q3 have no charging port, and trim level makes no difference on the cars that do. If there is no second flap on the bodywork, the car does not take a cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat length Q3 charging cable should I buy?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5m suits a wallbox close to where you park and on the same side as the charging flap. 10m is the safer general choice, and the one to pick for public bays or a box on the opposite wall. The longer cable never charges any slower, so the only cost of buying long is the price and a little more to coil away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EV Cable Shop","offers":[{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":53207701553499,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-16AMP-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":156.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207701586267,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":178.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":53207701619035,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-10M-32AMP(3P)-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":202.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207701651803,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-15M-32AMP-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 20M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207701684571,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-20M-32AMP-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":349.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 16amp (3.6kW)","offer_id":53207701717339,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-16AMP-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp (7.2kW)","offer_id":53207701750107,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":137.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 32amp - 3 Phase (22kW)","offer_id":53207701782875,"sku":"EVPOW-T2-T2-5M-32AMP(3P)-AUDI-A3-2-1-1","price":162.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 10M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53207701815643,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-10M-AUDI-Q3-V2","price":232.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 5M \/ 6amp – 10amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53207701848411,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-5M-AUDI-Q3-V5","price":187.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Type 2 to 3 Pin Charging Cable \/ 15M \/ 6amp – 12amp Adjustable (2.3kW)","offer_id":53999836168539,"sku":"EVPOW-3P-T2-15M-AUDI-Q3-V2","price":279.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/3888\/1627\/files\/7149d6628880bb82c80e3ba679712048.jpg?v=1780280737","url":"https:\/\/trandnova.com\/bg\/products\/audi-q3-charging-cable","provider":"Trand Nova","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
