How to Find an Electric Charging Station
Public charging stations have become simple to find. Many charging stations now have apps that can tell you where they are located and if they're currently in use.
Some apps even allow users to add charging stations to the map as they find them.
Using a Public Charging Station
There are three steps to using a public charging station.
Step 1: Plug in Your EV
Select the charging station where you want to charge your EV. Open your EV's charging port and plug it into the station.
Step 2: Pay for Your Session
Some charging stations cost to use. It can depend on the power of the station or the charging company. You can often pay by debit or credit card on the app or on a screen on the charging station.
Step 3: Begin the Charging Session
Once you've put in your payment information, your charging session will begin. You'll likely have an estimate of how long the charging session will take. Some apps will inform you when the session is finished.
Types of Public Charging Stations
The two main types of public charging stations are:
- Level 2 Station
- Fast/DC-Quick Charging Station
Level 2 Stations are great for vehicles that can be left for a few hours.
Fast/DC-Quick Charging Stations are the fastest available. They are ideal if you need a quick charge on a road trip.
FAQs
What’s the difference between Level 2 and DC fast charging?
Level 2 chargers use 240-volt power and are ideal for longer stops, such as at home or the office. DC fast chargers deliver higher voltage and can recharge an Audi EV much more quickly, making them ideal for road trips or quick top-ups.*
How long does it take to charge an Audi electric vehicle?
Charging times vary depending on the type of charging station and your vehicle model. Level 2 stations typically take several hours for a full charge, while DC fast chargers can replenish much of the battery in under an hour.
Can I charge my Audi at home?
Yes. Most Audi EV owners install a Level 2 charging unit at home for faster charging compared to a standard household outlet. Our team can help you understand how home charging works and what equipment is compatible with your Audi.
