An Audi Q8 e-tron takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable and accepts 11 kW on AC as standard. Order the 32A single phase cable, which hands the car the full 7.4 kW a British home supply can produce.
This car deserves a moment's thought that a smaller EV does not, because the battery is the largest we sell a cable for. A 106 kWh Q8 e-tron 55 takes about 16 hours 15 minutes to fill from empty at 7.4 kW. On a 16A cable that becomes over 32 hours, which is not an overnight charge by any definition, so the 16A is the wrong buy here even though it is cheaper.
Then check the left hand side of your car. The 22 kW twin charger was a cost option and it needed a second charge flap on the near side. If your Q8 e-tron has two flaps and you charge somewhere with three phase power, the three-phase cable genuinely doubles your rate. If it has one flap, or you charge at home, it does nothing the 32A single phase does not already do.
Do not confuse this car with the Audi Q8 TFSI e, which is a petrol plug-in hybrid on the conventional Q8 body, takes 7.4 kW and is a different car entirely. The Compatibility tab lists both, along with the pre-2022 Audi e-tron that the Q8 e-tron was renamed from.
The inlet sits on the offside front wing, ahead of the door, so measure from the wallbox to the front corner of the car. 5m suits a unit on that same side. 10m covers the opposite wall or a second car on the drive.
Elsewhere in the range, the Audi Q4 e-tron has its own page and the Audi charging cable range covers the rest. Built to IEC 62196-2, CE certified, IP55 sealed, rated from -30C to +50C, two year warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW three phase as standard, 22 kW with the optional twin charger
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 32 hours 30 mins | approx. 10 miles | Far too slow for this battery |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW | 16 hours 15 mins | approx. 21 miles | Best fit at home |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 11 kW, or 22 kW with the twin charger | 11 hours, or 5 hours 30 mins at 22 kW | approx. 31 miles | For 22kW posts and workplaces |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 52 hours | approx. 6 miles | Emergency top-up only |
The 89 kWh Q8 e-tron 50 charges at the same rates and finishes roughly three hours sooner. Audi quotes range as a band because wheels and body style move it, and cold weather and motorway speeds reduce the miles per hour figure again.
The 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable. An Audi Q8 e-tron accepts 11 kW on AC, a British house supplies 7.4 kW of that, and the 32A cable passes all of it. Nothing else on sale charges one faster on a driveway.
No. At 3.7 kW a 106 kWh Audi Q8 e-tron needs over 32 hours from empty, against 16 hours 15 minutes on the 32A. On a battery this size the cheaper cable costs you charges you can never finish.
Look for a second charging flap on the near side of the car. The 22 kW twin charger was a paid option on the Audi Q8 e-tron and it came with an extra port on the left. One flap means 11 kW, and at a house both cables deliver 7.4 kW regardless.
No, they are different cars. The Audi Q8 e-tron is fully electric, formerly called the Audi e-tron. The Audi Q8 TFSI e is a petrol plug-in hybrid built on the conventional Q8 and it accepts 7.4 kW. Both take a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, and both are listed in the Compatibility tab.
The inlet is on the offside front wing, so measure from the charge point to the front corner of the car with it parked where it normally sits. 5m works when the wallbox is on that side, and 10m covers the opposite wall, a second car, or reversing onto the drive.
