The Audi A3 TFSIe (PHEV) has a reported range of approximately 65 km and the vehicle has a Type 2 socket. The maximum charging speed when connected to an AC charging point is 3,7kW. All the Type 2 charging cables on this page are compatible with all models of the A3.
Concerned that the charging cable might exceed your vehicle’s maximum charging capacity? Don’t worry. The vehicle software is designed to ensure it does not draw more current than it can safely accept.
You can find an Audi A3 charging cable to buy from our products below. To ensure that you purchase the correct cable, please read the information below.
Which is the best Mode 3 Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable for the Audi A3?
We recommend the 1 Phase 32A charging cable for charging the Audi A3 at an AC public charging station or home wallbox. However, you can also use the 3 Phase 32A charging cable, but it will only charge the EV at the same rate.
Which Schuko charger is recommended for charging the Audi A3 with a 16A Schuko plug?
If you require a single phase 2 pin household charger (also known as Mode 2, Schuko charging cable and portable charger) for charging the Audi A3 with a 16A 230V Type F household / Schuko socket, we recommend our variable power 8A 10A 13A 16A Schuko charger because it is suitable for charging an electrical vehicle at lower currents. The fixed 16A Schuko charging cable that is recommended for emergency charging is not suitable for regularly charging an electrical vehicle. The fixed 16A household charger might also require a Type B RCD to be fitted in your fuse board. The adjustable 8A 10A 13A 16A Schuko charging cable has Type B 6mA DC protection built in.
The fixed 16A Schuko charging cable is not recommended for charging an EV for more than a few hours. This holds especially true for outlets that lack certification for regular EV charging. You might also need to fit a Type B RCD in your consumer unit or fuse board for the fixed 16A Schuko charging cable if it does not have one. The variable power 8A 10A 13A 16A Schuko charger has Type B protection built in and is more suitable for regularly charging an electrical vehicle.
Can I charge an Audi A3 with a CEE socket?
If your location has a Commando socket, or you want to charge your vehicle at one, we can help. We offer a range of 1 Phase and 3 Phase CEE chargers. These chargers fit all 3 pin and 5 pin CEE sockets. The CEE socket may be 1 Phase 16A or 32A or 3 phase 16A or 32A. So please check the socket before you buy.
We also sell a multi-adapter charger. This charger works with the Audi A3. It can charge using both 3 Phase (red) 16A (11kW) and 32A (22kW) CEE sockets. It also works with 1 Phase (blue) 16A (3,7kW) and 32A (7,4kW) CEE sockets.
Which charging cables are included with the Audi A3?
The information we have says there is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable included with the A3 TFSI e. Based on our experience, we know this information can change.
Even when a cable does not come factory supplied with the EV, the dealer / seller still might provide one anyway or the manufacturer may stop including a cable as standard. The best way to be certain is to contact your dealer / seller to confirm which charging cable(s) are supplied with the vehicle.

The recommended charging speed for a household socket is 10A. If you are charging at 16A, reference the charging time for 16A 1 Phase 3kW. All charging times are approximate due to the variables that can influence the charging times. To date, all Audi models manufactured for Europe have an AC Type 2 socket.
This is a guide only and the charging times and charging capacity depend upon the model and battery capacity of your electric vehicle as well as the charging capacity of the charging point. A charging cable described as 3kW has a maximum charge of 3,7kW. A charging cable described as 7kW has a maximum charge of 7,4kW. The EV cables below are not manufactured by Audi. However, all the cables below are compatible with this EV. Please read your vehicle handbook for specific charging information.
