Audi A6 TFSIe
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your A6 TFSIe+−
The Audi A6 TFSIe has a Type 2 inlet and a single-phase 7.4kW onboard charger. A 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. The 22kW option only helps if your next car charges faster.
Which Audi A6 TFSIe versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Audi A6 TFSIe, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Audi A6 TFSIe Quattro Sport 50
- Audi A6 TFSIe Quattro S Line 50
- Audi A6 TFSIe Quattro Competition 55
- Audi A6 TFSIe Quattro S Line Vorsprung 50
- Audi A6 TFSIe Quattro S Line Black Edition 50

Charging
the Audi A6 TFSIe.
The Audi A6 TFSIe (C8 generation) is a plug-in hybrid executive saloon and estate, available in the UK since 2020 in 50 and 55 TFSIe variants. It combines a petrol engine with a 14.1kWh usable battery and a mild electric drive, giving meaningful electric-only range for motorway-heavy drivers. The car uses a Type 2 inlet, so you will need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home and public AC charging.
There is no DC rapid charging on the A6 TFSIe: it charges on AC only at up to 7.4kW on a single phase. That figure matches what a standard UK home wallbox provides, so the battery charges at its maximum rate on a typical driveway setup. The petrol engine charges the battery while driving as well, reducing reliance on the plug on longer journeys.
Estimates based on battery size and charge power. Rapid (DC) times are for a 10 to 80% charge, the way manufacturers quote them. Real-world charging varies with temperature, battery state and the charger itself.
7.4 kW or 22 kW?
Which cable does
the A6 TFSIe need?
The A6 TFSIe's onboard charger is rated at 7.4kW single-phase, which lines up exactly with what a standard UK home wallbox delivers. A 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable is therefore the ideal match: the car charges at its maximum speed and you avoid paying for a higher-rated cable the car cannot use.
Three-phase or 22kW cables are not relevant here. The 7.4kW limit is built into the car's hardware and cannot be increased with a different cable or charger. Concentrate on getting the right cable length instead: 5m covers most home driveways and public posts, while a 7m or 10m lead helps if your charge point and parking spot are further apart.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 14.1kWh usable battery from empty costs roughly £1 on an off-peak EV tariff of around 7.5p per kWh, or around £3.80 at a standard rate of around 27p per kWh. Daily top-ups are cheap, and keeping the battery full for commuting can significantly cut fuel spend. Check current tariff rates as energy prices change.

Audi A6 TFSIe FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Audi A6 TFSIe charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Audi A6 TFSIe has a single-phase onboard charger limited to 7.4kW, so a 7.4kW cable already delivers its full AC speed. A 22kW cable would only benefit a future car.
What length charging cable should I get?+−
5m suits most home and public charge points. Choose 7.5m or 10m if the charge point is far from your car's charging port or you park on the far side of a bay.
What charging cable does the Audi A6 TFSIe need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charge points. The A6 TFSIe charges at up to 7.4kW single-phase and has no DC rapid charging port. A 7.4kW cable is the right choice and will deliver the car's full charging rate at a standard UK home wallbox.
Can the Audi A6 TFSIe charge at a faster rate than 7.4kW?+−
No. The onboard charger is rated at 7.4kW single-phase, and that is its hard ceiling. A higher-rated cable or a faster wallbox will not increase the charging rate; the car draws what the onboard charger allows, which is 7.4kW.
How long does the Audi A6 TFSIe take to charge at home?+−
On a 7.4kW wallbox the 14.1kWh usable battery charges from empty in around 2 hours. On a standard 3-pin socket at roughly 2.3kW, expect around 6 hours. A wallbox is the practical choice for regular overnight top-ups.
What length cable do I need for the Audi A6 TFSIe?+−
A 5m cable handles the majority of home driveways and car park charge posts without difficulty. If there is a longer distance between the charge point and where you park, or you want flexibility across different locations, a 7m lead is a worthwhile step up.
