Follow us onCharging sockets located on both sides, on the front fender.
As standard, the e-tron is available with two home charging options – the standard 15amp wall socket and an 11kW wall box provided by Audi. Additionally, you can specify your e-tron with higher-wattage, 22kW AC fast-charging capability unlocked from the factory, which would significantly reduce charging times. We tested the 11kW AC wall box charger, and the e-tron replenished 90 percent of its battery from 10-100 percent in around 8 hours.
We also tested its charging at a 25kW Tata Power DC public fast charger, and a mere 15 minutes delivered about 8 percent of charge, enough for a range of about 25-30km, the cost being Rs 106. Average charging bills at home are likely to be in the region of Rs 900 per full charge (0-100 percent), taking into account a high electricity slab of Rs 10 per kWh.
It’s possible to juice up its battery with an additional 20-25km of range in just 15 minutes, using a 25kWh DC fast charger.
