Audi Q5 TFSIe
Charging cable
Full AC charging speed for your car.
Why this fits your Q5 TFSIe+−
The Audi Q5 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 Q5 TFSIe versions does it fit?+
This cable fits every Audi Q5 TFSIe, because they all share the same Type 2 charging inlet. That includes:
- Audi Q5 TFSIe Sport Quattro 50
- Audi Q5 TFSIe S Line Quattro 50
- Audi Q5 TFSIe Competition Quattro 55
- Audi Q5 TFSIe Quattro Competition 55
- Audi Q5 TFSIe S Line Edition 1 Quattro 50
- Audi Q5 TFSIe S Line Vorsprung Quattro 50
Whichever Q5 TFSIe trim you drive, it is the same cable, so you can order with confidence.

Charging
the Audi Q5 TFSIe.
The Audi Q5 TFSIe is a mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV available in the UK since 2020, offered in 50 TFSIe and higher-output 55 TFSIe variants across trims including Sport Quattro, S Line, Competition and Vorsprung. It pairs a 2.0 TFSI petrol engine with a 14.1kWh usable battery, giving a useful electric-only range for everyday driving before the combustion side takes over.
Charging uses a Type 2 inlet, so the cable you carry to a wallbox or public AC point is a Type 2 to Type 2 lead. The onboard AC charger is rated at 7.4kW on a single phase. There is no DC rapid charging on the Q5 TFSIe. For a battery of this size that 7.4kW rate keeps charge times reasonable: a full top-up from empty takes roughly 2 hours.
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 Q5 TFSIe need?
Because the Q5 TFSIe's onboard AC charger is limited to 7.4kW on a single phase, a standard 7.4kW Type 2 cable is already all you need. The car cannot charge faster than 7.4kW regardless of the cable rating, so there is no case for a more expensive three-phase lead with this particular model. Your home wallbox, also typically capped at 7.4kW on a single-phase supply, and the Q5 TFSIe are already a matched pair.
A 5m Type 2 to Type 2 lead stored in the boot covers the great majority of home driveways and public AC points. Because charge sessions tend to be short given the relatively compact battery, you will rarely need a longer cable, but a 7m lead adds flexibility if your wallbox is mounted some distance from your usual parking position.
What does it cost to charge?
Filling the 14.1kWh usable battery from empty costs roughly £1 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £4 at a standard daytime rate of around 27p per kWh. Those figures make home charging very inexpensive, especially on a dedicated overnight tariff. There is no DC rapid charging on the Q5 TFSIe, so public charging means AC only, at whatever rate the network charges. Check current tariff rates before budgeting.

Audi Q5 TFSIe FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usCan the Audi Q5 TFSIe charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Audi Q5 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 Q5 TFSIe need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charging points. The Q5 TFSIe's onboard AC charger tops out at 7.4kW on a single phase, and there is no DC rapid charging. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 lead is the correct and most cost-effective choice; there is no need to buy a three-phase cable for this model.
Can the Audi Q5 TFSIe use a 22kW charger?+−
No. The onboard AC charger is rated at 7.4kW single-phase, so it will only ever accept 7.4kW regardless of the charger's output rating. Plugging into a 22kW AC station still delivers just 7.4kW. There is no DC rapid charging port on the Q5 TFSIe.
How long does the Audi Q5 TFSIe take to charge at home?+−
From empty, the 14.1kWh usable battery takes roughly 2 hours on a 7.4kW home wallbox. A standard 3-pin domestic socket at around 2.3kW extends that to around 6 hours. Most owners plug in during a working day or overnight and find the battery full well before they need the car. Partial top-ups between trips are even quicker.
What length cable do I need for the Audi Q5 TFSIe?+−
A 5m Type 2 to Type 2 lead covers most driveways comfortably and is easy to keep in the boot. If your wallbox is some distance from your usual parking spot, a 7m cable gives enough extra reach to avoid any stretching. Charge sessions on this PHEV are short, so you will rarely need to leave a very long cable trailing.
