The Audi Q7 e-tron takes a Type 2 to Type 2 cable at 32A. Buy the 5m or the 10m and you are done. Every plug-in Q7 accepts 7.4 kW on AC and nothing more, whichever badge or model year you have, so a three phase cable cannot make this car charge faster. If a previous version of this page told you otherwise, ignore it. The 32A single phase cable is the correct choice.
Only a TFSI e badge plugs in. A Q7 wearing TFSI, TDI or SQ7 lettering has no charging inlet and needs nothing from us. Trim and specification make no difference to charging, so do not spend time working out whether yours is a Sport, S line or Vorsprung. What matters is the model year, because the 2024 facelift changed the battery without touching the charger.
Cars built from 2019 to 2023, badged 55 TFSI e or 60 TFSI e, carry 14.4 kWh usable. At the full 7.4 kW that is roughly two hours fifteen minutes from empty, which is short enough to fit into an evening rather than a whole night. The 2024 cars onwards still wear the 55 and 60 TFSI e badges but hold 22 kWh usable from a 25.9 kWh gross pack. Same 7.4 kW charger, half again the energy, so the fill stretches to about three hours thirty.
That difference is the reason to bother with the 32A cable rather than the 16A. On a 16A cable a facelift Q7 needs about six hours forty five minutes, which turns a top up you could do while cooking dinner into an overnight job. On the older car the gap is smaller but still real, four hours thirty against two hours fifteen. A plug-in hybrid is only worth the fuel saving if it actually gets charged, and a slow cable is the usual reason it does not.
UK homes run on a single phase supply, so 7.4 kW is the fastest any domestic wallbox can push, and that happens to be exactly what this car will accept. There is nothing left on the table. Our Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated and the 3 pin units IP67. Both come with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin, 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 7 hours | Fine overnight, keep as a spare |
| Type 2 to Type 2 16A, 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 4 hours 30 minutes | Workable but leaves speed unused |
| Type 2 to Type 2 32A, 5m or 10m | 7.4 kW | 2 hours 15 minutes | Best buy, uses the full charger |
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 to 3 Pin, 5m or 10m | 2.3 kW | 10 hours 45 minutes | A full night, emergencies only |
| Type 2 to Type 2 16A, 5m or 10m | 3.7 kW | 6 hours 45 minutes | Too slow for a bigger battery |
| Type 2 to Type 2 32A, 5m or 10m | 7.4 kW | 3 hours 30 minutes | Best buy, an evening not a night |
We pride ourselves on the quality of our cables. Every cable comes with a 2 year manufacturer's warranty, and the jacket will survive being driven over, though we would rather you did not make a habit of it.
Protection against pressure
Our cables are safe to use whatever the weather. Type 2 to Type 2 cables are IP55 rated, CE marked, and work from -30°C to +50°C. Type 2 to 3 pin cables are IP67 rated, CE marked and work from -30°C to +60°C.
Protection against temperature
Our cables fit any electric car or plug-in hybrid with a Type 2 inlet, including Audi, BMW, Volvo, Mini, Mercedes, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Smart and Toyota. Use our car reg checker to confirm your car.
Compatible with all Type 2 cars
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable rated at 32A, in 5m or 10m. Every plug-in Q7 has a Type 2 inlet and a 7.4 kW onboard charger, so the 32A single phase cable matches the car exactly. Nothing faster exists for this vehicle, and nothing slower makes sense if you charge at home.
Only if the badge reads TFSI e. A Q7 55 TFSI or 60 TFSI on petrol, any TDI diesel, and the SQ7 all lack a charging inlet entirely, whatever mild hybrid technology sits underneath. Check the rear badge and look for a second flap on the front wing. No flap means no cable required.
On the 32A cable at 7.4 kW, a 2019 to 2023 car with 14.4 kWh usable takes about two hours fifteen minutes from empty. A 2024 facelift with 22 kWh usable takes about three hours thirty. Both figures assume a working home wallbox rather than a domestic three pin socket.
No. The Q7 TFSI e accepts 7.4 kW on AC and will not exceed it, so a three phase cable costs more and delivers exactly the same two hours fifteen or three hours thirty. UK homes are single phase anyway, capping any wallbox at 7.4 kW. Save the money and buy the 32A single phase.
The badge is no help, since both wear 55 and 60 TFSI e. Go by registration year instead. Cars registered 2019 to 2023 hold 14.4 kWh usable. Cars from 2024 hold 22 kWh usable, from a 25.9 kWh gross pack, and take roughly seventy five minutes longer to fill on the same cable.
The Q7 is a long car, so the distance from a wallbox to the inlet is easily more than the tape measure suggests once you allow for parking angle. 5m works with a wallbox alongside the bay. Pick 10m for a garage wall behind the car or a shared driveway with two vehicles.

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.
