Use our car reg compatibility checker to make sure your getting the right charger for you vehicle.
Every e-tron GT charges through a Type 2 socket, and every version of it, quattro, S, RS and RS performance, carries the same 11 kW onboard charger. Trim level changes nothing about charging. What does change is the size of the battery underneath.
Cars built between 2021 and 2024 hold 83.7 kWh of usable capacity. The 2024 revision raised that to 97 kWh usable across the S, the RS and the RS performance, and left the charger alone. The newer car therefore takes proportionally longer on the same cable rather than charging any faster.
The 11 kW figure deserves an explanation, because it is a three phase rating and British houses are wired single phase. Single phase tops out at 7.4 kW, so on your own driveway the car will draw 7.4 kW through a 32A single phase cable no matter what the brochure quotes. That is a property of the electricity supply, not a shortcoming of the car or the lead.
This is one of the few cars we sell cables for where the three phase 22 kW version genuinely earns its price. Plugged into a three phase AC post, the kind found at workplaces, hotels and destination car parks, it allows the Audi to take its full 11 kW. On the 83.7 kWh battery that is about eight and a half hours from empty rather than nearly thirteen. On the 97 kWh car it is around ten hours rather than close to fifteen. The cable is rated well above what the Audi will ever request, so the car stays in charge of the pace. Buy it if you park somewhere with three phase AC often enough to notice. If you only ever charge at home, it behaves exactly like the cheaper 32A lead.
For home charging the 32A single phase cable is the right purchase and the one most owners choose. The 16A cable delivers 3.7 kW, roughly half as much, which pushes a full charge past a day on either battery. It is worth considering only when the charge point itself is restricted to 16A.
The 3 pin cable is an emergency item on a car this size rather than a charging method. At 2.3 kW you would need the better part of two days from empty, so keep one in the boot for an unexpected night away and plan around the Type 2 cables for everything else.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin: 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 41h00m | Emergency use only |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A: 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 25h30m | Only if your charge point is capped at 16A |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A: 5m or 10m | 7.4 kW at a UK home | 12h45m | Best fit for home charging |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase: 5m or 10m | 11 kW, the car's own limit, at a three phase post | 8h30m | Worth it if you use three phase AC posts |
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin: 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 47h45m | Emergency use only |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 16A: 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 29h30m | Too slow for a battery this size |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A: 5m or 10m | 7.4 kW at a UK home | 14h45m | Best fit for home charging |
| Type 2 to Type 2, 32A three phase: 5m or 10m | 11 kW, the car's own limit, at a three phase post | 10h00m | Nearly five hours quicker on three phase |

Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable. For home use choose the 32A single phase version, which gives the car the full 7.4 kW a British house can supply. That fills the 83.7 kWh battery in about twelve and three quarter hours, or the later 97 kWh pack in roughly fourteen and three quarter hours.
On this car, yes, provided you use three phase AC posts. The Audi accepts 11 kW, and only a three phase cable can hand it that. It cuts the 83.7 kWh car from nearly thirteen hours to about eight and a half. At home, where the supply is single phase, it offers nothing extra.
Because UK houses are supplied with single phase electricity, which cannot exceed 7.4 kW however capable the car is. The e-tron GT's 11 kW rating assumes three phase power. Nothing is faulty, and a more expensive cable will not change it. Your driveway charge is set by the incoming supply.
From empty on a 32A cable at home, about twelve and three quarter hours for the 2021 to 2024 car and fourteen and three quarter for the 2024 onwards 97 kWh version. On a three phase post at the full 11 kW those fall to roughly eight and a half and ten hours.
No. The RS, the S, the RS performance and the standard quattro all share one 11 kW onboard charger and one Type 2 socket, so a single 32A cable covers the whole range. Battery size is the only variable: 83.7 kWh usable up to 2024, and 97 kWh usable afterwards.
Five metres is plenty when the car sits beside a wallbox on the same wall. Ten metres suits a longer driveway, a shared bay or a post reached from an angle. We also stock 15m and 20m in the 32A single phase cable for houses where the parking is a long walk away.

Cable Type:
How do I Choose?The cable connection depends on what connection type your car accepts. If you don't know, use our handy car reg checker.
Cable Length:
Sizing guideWe offer different length cables to suit your needs, whether you park next to your charger at home or at the office.
Rated Power (Charge Speed):
How do I Choose?Rated power is the fastest the cable can charge. Match it to your car and your charge point. A higher rated cable still works at every lower speed.
Accessory Add-Ons
We offer a range of products to help store and transport your charging cable. Choose from the accessories below:
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles (EVs) with a Type 2 connector to charging points is also equipped with a Type 2 socket. It supports faster charging speeds and is commonly used across Europe for EVs with this standard connection.
This cable allows electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket to charge from a standard UK 3-pin domestic outlet. It provides a slower charge but is useful for home or emergency charging when dedicated charging stations aren't available.
A cable used to extend the reach of a Type 2 charging cable. It's helpful when the existing cable is too short to connect an electric vehicle to the charging point, providing more flexibility in parking.
A fixed charging cable attached to a charging point, designed for electric vehicles with a Type 2 socket. The tethered design eliminates the need to carry a separate cable, offering convenience for regular charging at home or work.
A charging cable that connects electric vehicles with a Type 1 socket to charging points equipped with a Type 2 outlet. This allows EVs with the older Type 1 standard to use more modern charging infrastructure.
This cable enables electric vehicles with a Type 1 connector to charge from a standard UK 3-pin household outlet. It's suitable for slower charging at home when dedicated EV charging points aren't accessible.
A 5M charging cable is the shortest length that we offer. It is a great option if you can park close to the charge point and do not need much length to reach your car.
A 10M charging cable is the most popular length. It allows you to have enough flexibility whilst still being easy enough to move. This is a great option if you cannot park close to the electricity supply.
A 15M charging cable is a great choice if you need some extra flexibility, i.e. get past another car or reach the other end of a driveway. The length of the cable does not affect the charging speed.
A 20M charging cable is the longest cable that we currently offer. 20M reaches the vast majority of locations where you would want to charge your car. Always use one continuous cable. Never join two charging cables together and never charge through an extension lead, because the join is where heat builds up.
The choice if you will charge from a standard UK 3 pin socket. It runs at the most the socket can safely supply, and the control box lets you turn the current down for a slower, gentler charge overnight or on an older circuit.
A 16amp cable will be able to charge at 3.7kW. This is the cheapest product if your car's max charge speed is 3.7kW. If you have two electric cars or are looking to purchase another it might be worth considering a faster charging cable as this could limit charge speeds moving forward.
A 32amp charging cable will be able to charge at 7.4kW, which is the most a single phase UK home supply can deliver. A 32amp cable also charges at every lower speed (for example 16amp, 3.7kW), so it is the right choice if your home charge point is 7.4kW or you mostly charge at home.
A 32amp 3-phase charging cable will be able to charge at all speeds up to 22kW, so the cable never limits your charge speed at home or in public. It is also capable of charging at all lower charge speeds.
