What charge port does the Audi Q4 e-tron use?

CCS1 (Combined Charging System) - a J1772-shaped AC inlet with two extra DC pins below it. No adapter is needed for the port it ships with.

How fast does the Audi Q4 e-tron charge at home?

GarageDex could not confirm a published onboard AC kW figure for the 2023 to 2024 model year from the manufacturer's own page - check your window sticker or owner's manual for the exact number.

How fast does the Audi Q4 e-tron charge at a DC fast charger?

Up to 150 kW at a compatible DC fast charger, tapering as the battery fills - most DC sessions are planned to about 80%, not 100%, because the last 20% charges much slower.

Does the Audi Q4 e-tron need an adapter for Tesla Superchargers?

Yes. With its CCS1 port it needs a NACS DC adapter, and Tesla only allows the adapter supplied by Tesla or Audi. Audi says: "The Audi NACS DC Charging Adapter has an MSRP of $200 as a port installed accessory."

NACS adapter and Tesla Superchargers for the Audi Q4 e-tron

The 2023 to 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron has a CCS1 port. At a Tesla Supercharger it needs a NACS DC adapter, and Tesla only allows the one from Audi or Tesla.

Tesla's rule: “Supercharging is only accessible for NACS-equipped vehicles and CCS1-equipped vehicles with an NACS DC adapter provided by Tesla or your vehicle’s manufacturer. For safety reasons, using third-party adapters is prohibited.” Tesla Support

Tesla Supercharger access: “select Audi e-tron model owners will be able to access more than 23,500 NACS Partner Tesla Supercharger stations in North America using a manufacturer-approved NACS to CCS charging adapter. Starting September 9, 2025,” Audi of America Media: NACS / Tesla Supercharger access (2025-09-05)
Official adapter: “The Audi NACS DC Charging Adapter has an MSRP of $200 as a port installed accessory.” audiusa.com: NACS FAQ
Built-in NACS port: “All Audi BEVs on the road today have charging ports designed to work with Combined Charging Standard (CCS1) connectors.” audiusa.com: NACS FAQ
Other adapters: “The use of any third-party adapters is prohibited.” Audi of America Media: NACS / Tesla Supercharger access (2025-09-05)

Which Level 2 charger do you need?

A home Level 2 charger is sold by its amperage (32A, 40A, 48A...), but your car only ever charges at the lower of two numbers: the charger's rated output and your car's own onboard AC charger limit. Installing a 48A/11.5 kW charger on a car with a 7.7 kW onboard charger does not speed anything up - the car simply will not draw more than it can accept. On any DC fast charger, the same idea applies to the whole session: charging is fastest at a low state of charge and tapers hard above roughly 80%, which is why route-charging stops are usually planned to 80%, not 100% (per the U.S. Department of Transportation's EV charging speeds guide). Match a home charger's amperage to your car's onboard AC rating from the table above, with a little headroom for future EVs in the household, rather than buying the biggest unit available.

Charging gear for the Audi Q4 e-tron

Match the plug to the CCS1 port above - a J1772/CCS1 Level 2 charger for home, plus an adapter only if the table says you need one.
