EV Charger for Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro

The electric Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro has a maximum charging power of 11 kW with an usable battery capacity of 86.5 kWh. This means that charging via a EV Charger is advisable. A number of things are useful to know for this. A EV Charger with a heavier charging capacity will not charge more than the maximum load capacity of your car, but it can't hurt either. A EV Charger with a lighter power is also possible and can be useful, for example, when the fuse box is not suitable for heavy charging. The EV Charger will never charge heavier than what it is made for. EV Chargers have 4 charging capacities, provided that these cannot be adjusted yourself:

3.7 kW EV Charger (1 phase of 16A): will charge a maximum of 3.7 kW for this car.
7.4 kW EV Charger (1 phase of 32A): will charge a maximum of 3.7 kW for this car.
11 kW EV Charger (3 phases of 16A): will charge a maximum of 11 kW for this car.
22 kW EV Charger (3 phases of 32A) : will charge a maximum of 11 kW for this car

Fuse box connection for the EV Charger
Choosing the best EV Charger for your Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro depends not only on the possibilities of the car but also for a large part of the fuse box connection. Especially whether you have a 1 or 3 phase connection at home or at work. The Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro can charge on 3 phases and can therefore load the maximum charging capacity (if it is at least 3 x 16A). If you don’t have a 3 phase connection yet, but you will get it in the future. You can still buy a 3 phase EV Charger and just connect 1 phase so you can still charge your car in the meantime.

If you have a 1 phase connection, you cannot charge the maximum charging capacity of 11 kW, you will always only charge a maximum of 3.7 kW regardless of the power of the EV Charger. You can also read this article from us with more information about the connection in your fuse box.

Mobile EV Charger for Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro

With a mobile EV Charger (also called portable ev charger), you can charge your hybrid or electric car through a normal socket at home. So is the Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro.

A mobile EV Charger can usually charge 2.3 or 3.7 kW  (10 or 16A). Due to the high battery capacity of the Audi Q8 e-tron 50 quattro, we recommend using a portable ev charger mainly as a backup or as an emergency solution.
