Cheaper charging

Many electricity providers are even offering specific home electric vehicle tariffs which could make your running costs even cheaper. Plus you may be eligible to receive a government contribution towards the cost and installation of your home wall box (up to a maximum of £350), if you live in a flat or rental accommodation⁴.

How to charge at home

Install an Ohme wall box

Ohme is one of our recommended and trusted home EV charging partners, who have been voted as the Best Electric Charging Point Provider by Business Motoring for the second year in a row. They offer a range of wall boxes with features such as smart scheduling, which, depending on your energy tariff, could charge your Audi e-tron when the electricity rates are lower.

Charging with a 3-pin socket

At Audi, we highly recommend that you use a wall box to charge your electric Audi. However, occasionally you may want to charge your car using a 3-pin socket, therefore your electric Audi also comes with a Compact Charging System², to help you connect. If using a domestic socket, please consult an electrician before plugging in for the first time³.

Smartphone control with myAudi

You can easily manage charging functions using the myAudi app.
Check the charge of your car’s battery and range status; plan journeys showing charge stations and send the route to the car’s navigation system – it can all be done via the app.

Switch to Ovo

The flexible way to charge your EV from 7p per kWh. Plus get up to 10,000 free miles* worth of charging when you switch with every eligible new Audi e-tron purchase.

²The 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.
³Contact 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.
