The answer is that Audi have massively overclaimed the charging speed of the car and it’s a class action waiting to happen ….
I have tried on chargers that are outputting full speed for a big etron - put my Q4 on and it’s 50kw max. We’ve all been done !

Re: Audi Q4 updated for 2022
Be good if they tried increasing the charging speed from 55kw h to 125kwh first. I assume the 135kwh is a theoretical ….. the range I understand but the charging speed is appalling

Re: Charging Speed
Not sure why any of us should be content with this. Compared to many EVs, the 125 kw charge speed isn’t that fast anyway. Other vehicles also have a battery preheat function. To only achieve 40% of the designed charge speed is abysmal, and means the utility of the car is severely compromised for lon...

Charging Speed
Hi What charging speed are people achieving? I have Q4 40, which should charge at upto 125kw in the 5 to 80% charge range. Even after driving for 2 hours, at 12 degrees ambient air temperature and on 300kw charger (that a big e-trim has just been drawing over 155kw) - the maximum I can get is 55kw. ...

Re: Looking to buy
Don’t bother with the steering wheel if just for the paddles. Waste of time to me. You can just put in B mode - much less faff. On range - don’t expect anything more than 200 miles on the motorway in winter. Others can comment on charging speed (would love to hear from others ?) but I can’t get over...

Re: Decisions before ordering
Adaptive cruise control is fantastic with the Head Up Display, de-stresses long journeys. As above - you wont get 250 mile on the motorway. Try 200 to 220 mile tops, but you need to charge between the 5 and 80% levels to optimise your charging. If thats a problem buy a Tesla, they pre condition the ...

Re: Audi Q4 E-Tron Charging
I cant get any faster charging than 55kw on my Q4 40 Edition 1. That on fast chargers (150 and 300kw) that others have just used and got really high speeds, when thebattery was warm (2 hours into a drive) with an ambient temperature of 14 deg celsius. Waiting on Audi Service to call me back .....

Re: Tesla Supercharger network will be open to other cars this year
To be fair, this is really needed. The Tesla chargers are plentiful, fast and well maintained. Totally frustrated to stop at a service stations to see an empty row of gleaming Tesla chargers, while I am faced with broken, glitchy and slow chargers which I have to download another app for ….

I have a 40 and I’m getting about 180 miles from a full charge at 78mph motorway only driving. If I dropped to 70 mph then about 200 miles max…
