There are many public charging stations that make up a network, and they typically belong to the same operator to be used with a single account. Some networks, however, have interoperability agreements, which means an account on one network may also be used to charge (and pay) at another network.
Faster than your average trip to the grocery store, your battery can charge from 0%–80% in as little as 30 minutes when connected at a public charging station.* Most public charging stations offer DC fast charging.
*Estimated charging times are provided as a reference only. Actual charging times will vary based on battery state of charge, driving behaviour, battery condition, current, resistance, and ambient temperature, available voltage and charging frequency.
In most cases, payment is required to charge at a public site. Payment methods vary, including: credit card, network RFID charge card, mobile app, or phone. Not every site offers every payment method, so contact the network operator to find out which payment methods are accepted. Charging fees differ between sites.
While temperature has an effect on range, Audi EVs are engineered to prevent this, including a heat pump that helps warm the battery; a trip timer to help your vehicle warm or cool down the battery before trips; and thermal management of each battery cell to help maintain an optimal temperature.
