Audi Q4 E-Tron Sportback charging cable

The Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback combines the Q4 e-tron's electric drivetrain with a sloping fastback roofline that improves aerodynamics and adds a modest WLTP range benefit over the SUV body. Like the standard Q4 e-tron, the Sportback comes in two onboard charger configurations depending on variant. The 35 variant uses a 52 kWh usable battery and a 7.4 kW single-phase onboard charger, with rear-wheel drive and a WLTP range of up to 341 km (212 miles). The 40, 45, and 50 variants use a 77 kWh usable battery and an 11 kW three-phase onboard charger, with rear- or all-wheel drive and WLTP range of up to 534 km (332 miles) depending on specification. At a three-phase wallbox, the 11 kW variants add around 60 km of range per hour; the 35 adds around 40 km per hour on a single-phase supply. The CCS Type 2 charge port sits on the right rear flank across the entire Sportback range.

Which cable do you need

For the 35, a Voldt® Type 2 cable at 7.4 kW is the correct match. For the 40, 45, and 50, an 11 kW cable unlocks the full three-phase charge rate, filling the 77 kWh battery in approximately seven hours at a compatible wallbox. An 11 kW cable on a 35 causes no harm as the car draws only what its onboard charger accepts, so if you are unsure which variant you have, an 11 kW cable covers all bases. A 22 kW cable works equally well on any variant and is worth considering if you plan to use it with a higher-capacity vehicle in the future.

The right-rear port position aligns perfectly with perpendicular bays where the car reverses in, putting the inlet directly adjacent to the charge post. For forward pull-in bays or situations where the car must be parked nose-first, the port sits at the furthest corner from the pillar, making a longer 8-metre or 10-metre cable the more practical default for varied charging locations. A 15-metre cable handles awkward driveways and bays where the post is set well back.

Portable charging for travel and outdoor use

The Voldt® portable CEE charging cable connects to industrial CEE sockets and is available up to 22 kW via three-phase CEE. For the 40, 45, and 50 variants, output is capped at the car's 11 kW onboard charger ceiling regardless of socket rating. On a 16A three-phase CEE socket (11 kW), the 77 kWh battery fills in approximately seven hours. On a 32A three-phase socket the result is the same, as the car accepts no more than 11 kW. For the 35 variant, the 7.4 kW single-phase charger caps output at 7.4 kW; the 52 kWh battery takes approximately seven and a half hours on any CEE supply above that rate.

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, the 77 kWh battery takes around 21 hours for a full charge; the 52 kWh battery around 14 to 15 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.
