Audi’s charging card brings together more than 72,000 charging points operated by 220 providers. On longer journeys, Audi customers can charge their cars at the high-power Ionity network charging terminals and benefit from special conditions. Additional HPC charging points operated by other providers round off the e-tron charging service for long-distance journeys.
The myAudi app or Audi navigation system helps locate the nearest charging station. In addition to planning routes and activating charging points it finds, the myAudi app can also tell whether or not the charging terminal is currently available for use.
The charging process is via the Audi charging card or the myAudi app. Identification and billing are performed automatically in the background.
