Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Audi Q6 e-tron performance. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Audi Q6 e-tron performance can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Audi Q6 e-tron performance.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

About this Vehicle

Audi Q6 e-tron Overview

The Audi Q6 e-tron is Audi’s new premium midsize electric SUV, positioned between the Q4 e-tron and Q8 e-tron as the core of the brand’s next-generation EV lineup. Built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture co-developed with Porsche, it targets buyers who want a refined family SUV with cutting-edge tech, strong EV specs, and true long-distance capability. As an Audi electric SUV, it goes directly after the Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3/iX, and Mercedes EQE SUV in the crowded premium segment.

Audi Q6 e-tron is aimed at tech-focused, design-conscious drivers who value a quiet, comfortable cabin as much as performance. Highlights include the new E3 electronics architecture, an optional panoramic Audi MMI panoramic display, and advanced driver assistance systems. The Q6 e-tron matters because it is the first Audi built on PPE, setting the benchmark for future models in range, charging speed, and driving refinement. For anyone reading an Audi Q6 e-tron review, this is the model that finally brings Audi’s EV game to the same level as the best in class, with competitive electric vehicle range and rapid DC charging.

Audi Q6 e-tron Performance and Driving Experience

On the performance side, the Audi Q6 e-tron launches with both single-motor RWD and dual-motor quattro AWD versions. The rear‑wheel‑drive Q6 e-tron uses a single motor with around 322 hp and delivers 0–60 mph in about 6.3 seconds, offering smooth, linear power delivery and strong mid-range punch. The Q6 e-tron quattro uses dual motors for 456 hp, cutting 0–60 mph to around 4.9 seconds, while the performance-focused SQ6 e-tron goes further to roughly 510 hp and even sharper responses.

On the road, reviewers describe the Audi Q6 e-tron as Audi’s best-driving electric SUV yet, with precise steering, well-controlled body motions, and a genuinely premium ride quality. The quattro system provides confident all-weather traction, while rear‑drive models feel lighter and more efficient. Regenerative braking is smoothly integrated, making city driving relaxed and predictable.

Specification	Value
0-60 mph (0-100 km/h)	4.9–6.3 sec (model dependent)
Top Speed	130 mph / 210 km/h (governed)
Power Output	up to 456 hp / 340 kW (SQ6 ~510 hp/380 kW)
Torque	up to ~664 lb-ft / 900 Nm (SQ6, approx.)

Audi Q6 e-tron Range and Battery Specifications

The Audi Q6 e-tron range is one of its key selling points. With the larger battery, the RWD model is rated up to 639 km WLTP (around 397 miles), while the dual‑motor quattro variant delivers up to 623 km WLTP (387 miles) depending on wheel size and configuration. Early EPA estimates indicate around 321 miles for the single‑motor version and 295–307 miles for the Q6 e-tron quattro. In independent highway testing, the quattro has managed about 250 miles at 75 mph, which is strong for a premium SUV.

Battery tech is equally modern. Audi offers 83 kWh gross (75.8 kWh usable) and 100 kWh gross (94.9 kWh usable) lithium‑ion packs. Efficiency is competitive, with WLTP consumption between roughly 16.1–19.8 kWh/100 km, equating to about 260–310 Wh/mi depending on spec. As always, the Audi Q6 e-tron’s real-world range is influenced by speed, temperature, driving style, and terrain; winter conditions or sustained high‑speed driving will reduce the numbers compared to official figures.

Range Metric	Value
WLTP Range	up to 397 miles / 639 km
EPA Range	approx. 295–321 miles / 475–517 km (est.)
Real-World Range	~250–300 miles / 402–483 km (typical mix)
Battery Capacity	75.8–94.9 kWh (usable)

Audi Q6 e-tron Charging Times and Options

The Audi Q6 e-tron battery specs are matched by class-leading charging capability. At home, Level 1 (120 V) is a fallback solution, adding only a few miles per hour. Most owners will rely on Level 2 (240 V) AC charging at up to around 9.6–11 kW, which can refill the pack overnight. This makes living with the Q6 e-tron as an everyday family SUV straightforward if you have home or workplace charging.

On the road, the Q6 e-tron supports 800-volt DC fast charging with peak rates up to 270 kW. Under ideal conditions, Audi claims a 10–80% charge in about 21–25 minutes, adding roughly 150–180 miles in around 10 minutes at a high-power charger. The car is compatible with major DC fast-charging networks in its markets, so planning road trips is simple via the integrated navigation and route planner.

Charging Method	Time	Speed
Level 1 (120V)	~40–60 hours (0–100%)	~1.5–2 kW
Level 2 (240V/7kW)	~14–16 hours (0–100%, large pack)	~7 kW
Level 2 (240V/11kW)	~9–10 hours (0–100%, large pack)	~11 kW
DC Fast Charge (10-80%)	~21–25 min	up to 270 kW
