Charging Your Audi 101: Everything You Need to Know
Owning an Audi e-tron means embracing electric power with ease. Charging your Audi is simple, whether you're at home or on the go. With a growing network of public charging stations across Canada and fast home charging options, you'll always be ready for the road. Ottawa drivers can enjoy a seamless charging experience, whether commuting downtown or heading out on a weekend road trip.
Home Charging: Simple and Convenient
Charging your Audi at home is the easiest way to keep your vehicle powered. A Level 1 charger uses a standard 120V household outlet, but it's best for occasional top-ups since it can take days to fully charge your e-tron.
For faster charging, a Level 2 home charger is the way to go. Using a 240V outlet, similar to what a dryer requires, it significantly reduces charge times. Most e-tron models can be fully charged overnight, meaning you wake up to a full battery every morning. Installation is simple, but it's important to consult a licensed electrician to ensure your home is ready for a Level 2 charger.

Public Charging: Power When You Need It
Charging away from home is just as easy. Canada has over 20,000 public charging stations, including high-speed Level 3 chargers that can quickly get you back on the road.
Audi e-tron owners in Ottawa benefit from Electrify Canada's charging network, offering four years of complimentary charging (or up to 1,400 kWh) through the myAudi mobile app. These DC fast chargers can power up your Audi e-tron GT from 5% to 80% in just over 22 minutes, making long road trips stress-free.
Understanding Charging Speeds
The faster the charger, the quicker the charge. Audi offers three levels of charging:
- Level 1: Uses a 120V outlet and is best for slow, overnight top-ups.
- Level 2: Uses a 240V outlet and can charge your Audi in just a few hours.
- Level 3 (DC Fast Charging): The fastest option, found at public stations, with up to 270 kW of power.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge?
Charging an Audi e-tron at home is cheaper than refuelling a gas-powered vehicle. The cost depends on electricity rates, but most drivers spend far less than they would on fuel.
Public charging prices vary. Electrify Canada stations offer free charging for Audi e-tron owners for four years. After that, costs depend on charging speed and location, but most Level 3 stations charge per minute, making quick top-ups affordable.
