Charging
the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e.
The Audi Q8 60 TFSI e was the plug-in hybrid variant of the large Q8 SUV, sold in the UK from 2021 until around 2024 when it was replaced by the facelifted model. It combined a 3.0 TFSI V6 with a 17.9kWh gross battery, offering a powerful everyday driver with useful electric-only range for urban and short-distance driving. If you own one, charging is through a Type 2 inlet.
The cable you carry to a home 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, and there is no DC rapid charging on the Q8 60 TFSI e. All charging is AC only. At 7.4kW the battery can be filled from empty in roughly 2.5 hours, so a daily top-up is straightforward even during a work day.
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 Q8 60 TFSI e need?
The Q8 60 TFSI e's onboard AC charger tops out at 7.4kW single-phase, which matches the typical UK home wallbox limit exactly. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 to Type 2 cable gives the car everything it can use, and there is no benefit in choosing a higher-rated or three-phase cable. The car will not charge faster than 7.4kW whatever you plug in.
A 5m lead is the right starting point for most home setups. Because the Q8 is a large SUV and charge sessions tend to be relatively short given the battery size, having a cable that reaches comfortably without trailing too far is more useful than going very long. A 7m lead is a sensible upgrade if your wallbox position and parking arrangement leave any doubt about reach.
What does it cost to charge?
Charging the 17.9kWh gross battery from empty costs roughly £1 to £1.50 on an off-peak EV tariff at around 7.5p per kWh, or around £4 to £5 at a standard daytime rate of around 27p per kWh. The V6 petrol handles long motorway runs while the battery is most cost-effective for commuting and town driving. There is no DC rapid option, so public charging always uses an AC cable. Check current tariff rates.

Audi Q8 60 TFSI e FAQs
Good
questions.
Still not sure? Our team will confirm the right cable for your vehicle.
Contact usWhat charging cable does the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e need?+−
The Audi Q8 60 TFSI e has a Type 2 inlet, so it needs a Type 2 to Type 2 cable for UK home and public charging. It charges on single-phase AC at up to 7.4kW.
Can the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e charge at 22kW?+−
No, the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e 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 cable does the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e need?+−
A Type 2 to Type 2 cable for home wallboxes and public AC charging points. The Q8 60 TFSI e has a Type 2 inlet rated at 7.4kW single-phase AC and no DC rapid charging port. A standard 7.4kW Type 2 lead is the correct and only choice needed; a three-phase or 22kW cable offers no advantage with this model.
Can the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e charge at 22kW or rapid DC?+−
No. The onboard AC charger is limited to 7.4kW on a single phase, so plugging into a 22kW or 11kW station makes no difference; the car still draws just 7.4kW. There is no CCS port for DC rapid charging on this model. All charging is through the Type 2 AC inlet.
How long does the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e take to charge at home?+−
From empty, the 17.9kWh gross battery takes around 2.5 hours on a 7.4kW home wallbox. A 3-pin domestic socket at 2.3kW extends that to around 8 hours, which is manageable overnight as a backup. Most owners plug in during the day or overnight and the battery is ready before they need the car.
What length cable do I need for the Audi Q8 60 TFSI e?+−
A 5m cable is the standard choice and covers the great majority of driveways. Given that the Q8 is a long vehicle, consider where the charging inlet sits relative to your wallbox before assuming 5m is always sufficient. A 7m cable gives comfortable reach on most driveways without the bulk of a 10m lead.
