At dealerships Audi columns are operational for the charging of electric cars which deliver up to 150 kW in DC. All cars can be recharged at these columns, even those of non-Audi customers as long as theelectric car support the DC charging.
Fast electric charging in Audi dealerships

The new network is now added to this offer Audi high power charging (HPC) up to 150 kW of powercarried out at the Brand Dealers and open to payment (Enel X tariff) also to drivers of other electric cars.
Audi fast electric charging for everyone, where the FAST columns are
The Audi HPC network is now extended to 16 dealers to which 3 further Concessionaires will be added by the month of June, to arrive at the inclusion of all 54 points officers in 2023 with the aim of covering by 2025 the entire Audi networkincluding Service Partners.

The HPC fast charging columns at Audi dealers are easily identifiable through the most common APPs and i BEV navigation software ready, able to “read” the presence of the charging stations, starting from the itinerary planner e-tron trip plannerbased on the Audi e-tron Charging Service program and dedicated to all the brand’s full electric models.
Audi HPC stations charge with powers greater than or equal to 150 kW. In the case of Audi e-tron And Audi e-tron Sportback in the variants 55 quattro ed S.which can be supplied with energy at 150 kW in direct current (DC), which means that it is possible to have 80% autonomy in less than 30 minutes.
Audi electric car charging, how to do it
If you own or intend to buy an Audi electric car for charging, how do you do it? The creation of the HPC fast charging network in Audi dealerships in fact it is part of a broader program of the German brand to promote electric mobility.

Audi electric charging with Enel X and IONITY
In Italy, the comprehensive Audi e-tron Charging Service program rests on three infrastructural pillars: the network Enel Xthe IONITY stations and the unprecedented Audi high power charging (HPC) network that we have previously liked. Enel X is the Enel Group company that manages the most widespread network of charging stations in Italy, strong of 14,400 charging points to cover the entire national territory. 100% of the energy supplied comes from renewables.
Volkswagen Group and Enel X recently set up a joint venture in Italy aimed at building, owning and managing by 2025 beyond 3,800 high-power charging points (up to 350 kW) in 700 locations. The network will be open to all electric vehicle drivers of any manufacturer. Regarding IONITY in Italy there are 20 active stations in Italy, located along the boot from the Brenner to Palermo, flanked by two further realities in the activation phase.
By 2025, recharging points will increase from the current 1,500 units to approximately 7,000 in Europe. Furthermore, the IONITY columns will no longer be placed exclusively on the motorway or in the vicinity of the motorway network, but also in the big cities and along the main road arteries. The number of stations will increase significantly, passing from 400 to over 1,000.
How to charge an Audi electric car at home
In the domestic environment, thanks to the partnership with Enel X packages are available Ready for e-tron And Ready for e-tron Prodesigned for models full electric Audi and recently extended to the plug-in range.
Both provide for the realization of the power line with connection downstream of the meter which is accompanied by the installation, in the first case, of the recharging system Audi e-tron compactstandard for multiple Audi BEV and PHEV models, in the second case of the wallbox Enel X. The latter, called JuiceBox Pro Cellular with integrated cable, it is a smart infrastructure for charging in alternating current with powers of 7.4, 11 or 22 kW.
These home charging systems have the function demand limitation to regulate the supply of energy based on domestic needs, avoiding the network overloadcombines remote management via smartphone and dedicated app.
Audi electric car trip calculating route
Those who drive an Audi electric car to their fill of energy especially during the do you travel can also count on the interesting works e-tron trip plannerwhich allows you to verify instantly, both by means ofmyAudi app both through the multimedia system MMIhow many recharges are necessary to reach a specific destination, constantly updating the situation based on the status of the terminal, of the traffic and of driving style.
Just set a destination to locate the balusters nearby, reachable according to the range of the car and functional to the optimization of travel times. In the case of the latest generation connected stations, it is possible to learn information about the availability, the power and payment methods. The update of the charging points takes place on line and in real time.
