Q4 e-tron and Q4 Sportback e-tron models equipped with 82kwh battery (76.6kwh net available power) will receive a charging update with peak output of 135 kW DC in 2022 model year.
however, it depends on the exact drive version how big the time savings with the charging update actually are: The all-wheel-drive models also have an 82 kWh battery, but they use cells from a different supplier and thus differ in terms of charging performance.
Only the Q4 40 e-tron and the associated Sportback (150 kW drive power, rear-wheel-drive) shorten the standard charging process to 80 per cent in the ideal case to 29 minutes. For the all-wheel-drive Q4 45 e-tron quattro (195 kW) and the 220 kW Q4 50 e-tron quattro (only the latter is also available as a Sportback), the charging process is only minimally reduced to 36 minutes. The Q4 35 e-tron with the smaller battery (58 kWh, 125 kW drive power) does not receive a higher charging rate. According to the auto release, the charging update was achieved through optimized software for thermal management and battery control.
