Audi 16/32A EV Charger Coiled / Spiral Cable For Charge Point / Home Charger. Type 2 to Type 2

Item Description and Specification

32A Type 2 Audi E-tron spiral charging cable.

This 1 Phase 32A spiral (or coiled) EV charging cable with secure locking plugs is a compatible Audi charger that will also charge the 16 amp Audi E-tron range of Type 2 hybrid and electric vehicles.

This spiral cable is a Type 2 charger, also known as a Mennekes charger, that will be compatible with home/office charging units and the public charging stations you will find at service stations and on the street, ie Mode 3 charging. Please note that these charging cables cannot be used to adapt or extend an existing charging cable. These charging cables have a 2 year warranty.

Should I buy a spiral cable or straight cable?

We have found that customers buying EV cables prefer to purchase a spiral charging cable as they are kept cleaner due to them not lying on the ground. They are also easier to stow away due to the coiling of the cable.

Spiral cables should also retract to their shortest length and will suspend in mid air between your EV and charge point. It can be argued that this makes them less of a trip hazard because they are more visible, but this obviously precludes people who are not paying attention to where they are going! Spiral EV cables will however, be more of an obstruction the longer the cable is from your EV to the charge point as people will have to clamber over (or in some cases under) them.

Due to the cable being suspended, the weight is concentrated on either end of the EV connectors, so this may compromise the connection into the the EVs socket or the socket of the charging unit, so this has to be taken into consideration. Please also note that the length from plug to plug is 5 meters. The cable would need to be fully stretched for 5 meters, so the usable length is usually around 4.5 meters.

Your decision to buy either a spiral charging cable or a straight one will be based on your usage, but do have in mind that a straight 16A Audi charging cable or 32A Audi charging cable can be routed more easily out of the way.

Do I need a 1 Phase 32A EV cable for my Audi e-tron?

To date, our spiral 32 amp EV cables can be used with the following Audi hybrid vehicles. This list is continually updated so please check your handbook, check that your vehicle socket matches the images above, or contact us if your electric vehicle is not listed:

Audi Q4 e-tron, Audi Q6 e-tron, Audi e-tron Sportback, Audi e-tron GT, Audi A3 TFSI e, Audi A6 TFSI e, Audi A7 TFSI e, Audi A8 TFSI e, Audi Q5 TFSI e, Audi Q7 TFSI e, Audi Q8 TFSI e

A 1 Phase 32 amp charger is compatible with all models of Type 2 Audi e-tron electric vehicles, but dependent upon the on-board charger and charge point, it may not be able to provide the advantages of 1 Phase fast charging. If you have a Audi that has 3.7kw charging capacity then it will only charge to a maximum of 3.7kW. However, purchasing a 32A EV cable will allow you to use the faster charging capability of up to 7.4kw should you be looking to upgrade your EV in the future. If your vehicle has an on board charger that is capable of 11kW AC charging or greater, then a 32A 3 Phase charging cable is likely to be more suitable. Our Audi charging cable is compatible but not manufactured by Audi.

Can I buy a rapid charging cable?

Rapid charging cables are capable of providing between 25 kW and 350 kW of power. If your electric vehicle has a CCS socket (Type 2 vehicles) or CHAdeMO socket (Type 1 vehicles) then it is capable of rapid charging. These charging cables are predominately available at public charging points and the cables are attached to the charging station, so you will therefore not need to buy a rapid charging cable.

To ensure that the cable you purchase is right for you, please read the following checklist:

  • Verify that the charging cable is compatible with your EV. The photos at the top of the page show you what the pins in the connectors look like so you can match the cable plug to your vehicle socket.
  • This cable cannot be used to adapt or extend an existing charging cable. If a charging cable is already connected to a charging point, then this cable cannot be used to extend the length by daisy-chaining them together. The cable can only be used with the open socket of a charging point.
  • Make sure that the length of the charging cable is suitable for your charging requirements. If you are using a public charging station, we recommend a length of 5 meters as it is not always possible to park so that the vehicle socket is near side to the charging station. If you are using the cable with a wall charger at home or at an office, measure the length required to reach the vehicle socket. We advise allowing an additional half meter of slack to prevent the cable from being overstretched or lifted from the ground, reducing the risk of it becoming a potential tripping hazard.
  • If you do not have your electric vehicle yet, please check with the manufacturer or dealer / seller to confirm if it is already equipped with a charging cable.
  • This charging cable is compatible with AC charging stations commonly found in supermarkets, retail parks, on the street, and wall chargers typically installed outside a home or office. It is not a DC fast charging cable, also known as CCS and CHAdeMO. You do not need to buy a cable to use fast charging stations, as they are already connected to the charging station.

If in doubt, please contact us via our contact page.

We recommend a hi-vis colour for your Audi charger

When charging at public charging points, EV charging cables can pose a potential obstacle, especially in low-light conditions. Exercise caution when leaving your cable unattended. Opting for our green standard charging cables can enhance visibility, minimising the risk of accidents.

If you would like a home charger to charge your Audi EV using a domestic or industrial socket please browse our range of CEE and 3 pin portable EV chargers.
