Audi EV Charger Installation

Navigating Audi Electric Vehicles: Which Level Do You Need?

In Australia, the speed of your charge depends on the electrical current at your property. For owners of various electric models, the goal is to match the charger’s output to the vehicle’s high-capacity battery so you aren't left waiting around.

Level 1: The Portable Emergency Cable

Every Audi e-tron comes with a portable unit that plugs into a standard 10A outlet. It’s okay for a top-up, but it’s definitely not a long-term solution for drivers.

⚡ Performance: Delivers about 2.3kW—roughly 10km of range per hour.

🐢 The Reality: With electric models like the Q8 e-tron carrying batteries up to 114kWh, a full charge could take over 50 hours. It's best kept in the boot for emergencies.

Level 2: The Professional Home Charger (Recommended)

This is the standard for most ev home chargers. These units are hardwired into your switchboard on a dedicated circuit, allowing for a much stronger current and better safety than a standard plug.

⭐ Single-Phase (7.4kW): Standard for Sydney homes. Adds about 45km of range per hour.

🌟🌟🌟 Three-Phase (11kW): The 'Audi Sweet Spot'. If your home has 3-phase power, this can fill your battery in 8.5 to 10 hours, giving you a massive advantage every morning.

Level 3: Public Charging & DC Fast Charging Stations

These are the high-powered DC chargers you see at shopping centres or highway stops. They send power directly to the battery, bypassing the car's internal converter.

🌟 Performance: An Audi e-tron GT can use rapid charging to go from 5% to 80% in about 22 minutes.

❌ Residential Use: Because of the massive electrical load, these DC chargers aren't for homes. We recommend using your Level 2 home charging for 90% of your needs and saving the public network for road trips.

Tailored Solutions by Audi Model

While every Audi e-tron uses the standard Type 2 (Mennekes) plug for home charging, the battery size and onboard hardware vary significantly across the fleet. Matching your home installation to your specific model ensures you aren't paying for power your car can't use, or worse, bottlenecking a high-performance vehicle with a slow charger.

Our 5-Step Approach to Installing an Electric Vehicle Charging Station 

We’ve moved past the internal combustion engine, and your fuel station should reflect that. Here is how we get your Audi wall unit ready for the road:

1️⃣ Site Assessment

We check your Sydney switchboard to see if you have single or 3-phase power.

2️⃣ Fixed Quote

You get a clear price covering the charger, cabling, and NSW safety parts.

3️⃣ Professional Install

Our sparkies mount the unit and run dedicated wiring to Australian standards.

4️⃣ System Testing

We make sure the current is stable and the unit talks to your Audi’s MMI system.

5️⃣ Certification

We hand over your Certificate of Electrical Safety (CCEW).

Things to Consider Before Your Electric Car Charging Setup

🤔 Single Phase vs Three Phase Power

The'juice' your home can provide changes everything. Most Sydney homes are single-phase, but if you've got three-phase, you can charge those electric motors much faster. We’ll help you figure out which setup fits your driving habits.

🤔 Switchboard Upgrades

An EV charger is a heavy-duty appliance. If your switchboard is an old-school relic from the era of the internal combustion engine, it might need an upgrade. We ensure everything meets Australian standards so you don't trip your main fuse every time the oven goes on.

🤔 EV Charging in Apartments & Strata

Living in an apartment does not mean you cannot have ev home chargers, but it does require a different approach. We assist ev owners by providing the technical specifications and safety details your strata committee will likely request.

🤔 Getting to Know Your Audi e-tron

For a clear look at how to handle your vehicle’s charging and battery range, you can view the official Audi Australia video guides . These short clips show you exactly how to use the charging ports and how to set up the car's internal menus before we arrive to install your home station.
