Overview
The Q4 e-tron marks the second BEV SUV from Audi and a more compact, affordable and efficient offering. While some German manufacturers have entered Marmite design territory, the Q4 e-tron is more evidence (at least to our eyes) of Audi's hot streak on attractive, very modern styling. The BEV has enough battery to give 200ish real world miles, while rapid charging at a chunky 110kW gets you a bunch back swiftly on a DC charger. Inside - it's Audi, so strong. Performance is a little down on its e-tron SUV brethren, but then so is the list price. This guide is based on the e-tron 35.Charging Details

* Based on EV Made Easy estimates, charging time can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate. Max charging rate may also be limited by the vehicle.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.
You can charge your Audi Q4 e-tron with a Type 2 connector at home, work or at a public charging point. There is also a CCS connector for rapid charging.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO2 emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
