Audi E-Tron S Sportback charging cable

The e-tron S Sportback is the coupe-SUV counterpart to the e-tron S, sharing its tri-motor drivetrain and 95 kWh gross battery in full. One front motor and two rear motors combine for 370 kW (503 PS) in overboost and 973 Nm of torque, with individual rear-wheel torque vectoring standard across the range. Nominal output without overboost is 320 kW and 808 Nm. The 0–100 km/h time is 4.5 seconds and top speed is 210 km/h (130 mph). The sloping Sportback roofline improves aerodynamics enough to add around sixteen miles over the SUV, bringing the WLTP rating to approximately 380 km (236 miles) from the same 86.5 kWh of usable capacity. DC rapid charging peaks at 155 kW, with a 10–80% charge in approximately 26 minutes. The e-tron S Sportback is a full BEV with no combustion backup. The onboard AC charger is 11 kW three-phase as standard, with a 22 kW three-phase upgrade available as a factory option. Like all original e-tron models, charging ports are located on both front flanks. The left front inlet combines CCS2 DC and AC Type 2, handling both rapid DC charging and standard AC. The right front inlet is AC-only Type 2, providing a second AC point for situations where the passenger-side port is closer to a charge post. In right-hand-drive UK configuration, the combined CCS port sits on the nearside, aligning naturally with pavement-side charge posts in forward-entry parallel bays.

AC charging and wallbox times

At 11 kW from a three-phase wallbox, the 86.5 kWh battery charges from near-empty in approximately eight and a half to nine hours, comfortably within an overnight dwell. For cars specified with the optional 22 kW charger, a 32A three-phase supply reduces that to approximately four and three-quarter hours. Reaching the full 22 kW rate requires a 32A three-phase wallbox. Many UK home installations run single-phase, capping AC charging at 7.4 kW on a standard 32A circuit, which extends a full charge to around thirteen hours and forty-five minutes. Confirming the supply type at the point of wallbox installation is worth doing if you want to take full advantage of the optional 22 kW charger.

Which cable the e-tron S Sportback needs

Both Type 2 inlets accept a Voldt® Type 2 charging cable for all home wallbox and public AC charging. The standard onboard charger runs at 11 kW three-phase, making an 11 kW Voldt® cable the correct match for the majority of cars. If your e-tron S Sportback was specified with the optional 22 kW factory upgrade, a 22 kW Voldt® cable is the right choice to unlock the car's maximum AC charging speed at a matching power source. An 11 kW cable on a 22 kW-equipped car will cap the session at 11 kW regardless of what the supply provides, adding around four hours to a full charge compared to the 22 kW ceiling.

The left-side combined CCS2/Type 2 port aligns naturally with forward-entry parallel bays in UK layouts, where the nearside port faces the pavement-side charge post directly. The right-side AC-only port suits reverse-entry bays and dedicated charging forecourts. A 6-metre cable covers the majority of home driveways without difficulty. An 8-metre cable is the more practical choice for posts set further back in a bay, or for wider spaces where the approach angle increases the effective distance between port and pillar.

Portable charging

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable connects to industrial sockets where a wallbox is unavailable. On a 16A three-phase CEE socket (11 kW), the battery charges fully in approximately eight and a half to nine hours, matching the standard wallbox rate. On a 32A three-phase CEE socket (22 kW), cars with the standard 11 kW charger see the same result; cars with the optional 22 kW charger fill the battery in approximately four and three-quarter hours.

Red three-phase CEE sockets are found at industrial sites, workshops, and some commercial marinas. Standard European campsite hookup points use blue single-phase 16A CEE sockets, which cap output at 3.7 kW. At that rate, a full charge from near-empty takes around 26 hours. A campsite blue socket is adequate for a partial top-up during a multi-night stay, but not a practical source for a full charge on a single overnight stop.
