The future of charging

Source: Charging Data from Zap-Map (https://www.zap-map.com/statistics/) shows that as of 14th January there were 10,621 charging locations across the UK, hosting a total of 17,092 charging devices. In contrast, according to Statista (https://www.statista.com/statistics/312331/number-of-petrol-stations-in-the-united-kingdom-uk/) there are currently only 8,394 petrol stations in the UK, a figure that is continuing to decline.

Contact an electrician before plugging into a domestic socket for the first time as suitability for charging using a domestic socket will depend on the condition of the wiring in your home. If the domestic socket is on the same circuit as other appliances, particularly those in frequent use, the additional amperage may be enough to trip a breaker switch. Establishing a separate circuit for charging will help make sure the car is fed a full night of uninterrupted current. We recommend using an electric vehicle home wall box with its own separate circuit. We recommend that you keep the Compact Charging System in the vehicle in case of an emergency or temporary need to plug in to a 3-pin socket whilst away from home. The compact charging system is currently unavailable with some of our TFSI e models, however these models will still come with an alternative charging system to allow charging via a 3-pin plug. The AC charging cable (mode 3 type 2) is not affected and will also be supplied. The industrial charging cable is not included for these vehicles. For more information, please speak to your local Audi centre.
