Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Audi Q6 e-tron. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Audi Q6 e-tron can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

| 3-phase 32A (22 kW) | 400V / 3x32A | 22 kW † | 4h15m | 93 km/h |
† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Audi Q6 e-tron.
- Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
- Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
- Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
- Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
| Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2) |
|---|
 |
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Avg. Power | Time | Rate |
|---|
| CCS (50 kW DC) | 50 kW | 50 kW | 67 min | 240 km/h |
| CCS (100 kW DC) | 100 kW | 90 kW † | 37 min | 440 km/h |
| CCS (150 kW DC) | 150 kW | 115 kW † | 29 min | 570 km/h |
| CCS (175 kW DC) | 175 kW | 125 kW † | 27 min | 610 km/h |
| CCS (350 kW DC) | 225 kW † | 150 kW † | 22 min | 750 km/h |
| This vehicle supports Plug & Charge |
|---|
† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle
Plug & Charge: allows for automatic initiation of a charging session at supported CCS charging stations in accordance with ISO 15118.
Actual charging rates may differ from data shown due to factors like outside temperature, state of the battery and driving style.
Audi Claimed Specifications
The table below shows the claimed specifications from the manufacturer for charging the Audi Q6 e-tron. The specifications can differ from the table above for a variety of reasons. If real-world charge tests are available, these differences can be signifcant. If no real-world tests are available, the table above will be based on the manufacturer specifications as per the table below.
- Max. Power: maximum charge power during charging session
- Charge From: battery percentage (% SoC) where charging session is started
- Charge To: battery percentage (% SoC) where charging session is ended
- Time: time needed for charging session
