What EV Charger Do You Need for a 2027 Audi S e-tron GT?
Pulling a 60-amp circuit and landing it on the breaker is required for this car. You need a hardwired setup. A 48-amp Level 2 charger matches your Audi S e-tron GT onboard capacity. Wall units like the Emporia Level 2 EV Charger 48A deliver this rate cleanly.
The numbers
| Maximum AC charging rate | 11.0 kW (48 A) |
|---|---|
| Charger size to buy | 48 A |
| Circuit breaker required | 60 A |
| Outlet / connection | hardwired (a 48 A EVSE must be hardwired -- no household receptacle is rated for it) |
| Charge port | J1772 |
| Full charge on Level 2 | about 10.3 hours |
| Range added per hour (Level 2) | about 29 miles |
| Full charge on a 120 V outlet | about 78 hours |
| Range added per hour (120 V) | about 3.8 miles |
| EPA rated range | 300 miles |
| Energy for a full charge | about 112.9 kWh at the wall |
Why 48 amps and not more
Your car accepts up to 48 amps. Buying a larger unit offers zero benefit because the onboard charger limits power intake to 11.0 kilowatts. Feeding it 48 amps yields 29 miles of range per hour. The battery capacity is 112.9 kilowatt-hours, so a full charge takes 10.3 hours. Pushing more amperage into the vehicle is physically impossible.
What the install involves
A 48-amp EVSE must be hardwired because no household receptacle is rated for it. You must bring in a licensed electrician to run the wire and check the panel for spare capacity. They will mount the unit on the wall and connect it to a 60-amp breaker. Do not attempt DIY on high-amperage AC lines.
Chargers that match this car

Common questions
- What connector does this car use?
- It uses a J1772 connector. This model year falls in the industry transition, so verify your specific port before purchasing equipment.
- Can I use a regular wall outlet?
- Level 1 charging on a standard household outlet takes 78 hours for a full tank. It adds 3.8 miles of range per hour. You will want Level 2 hardware instead.
- Why does the EPA charge time differ?
- The EPA test time is 15.5 hours at 19 miles of range per hour. Real-world charging at the peak 48-amp rate finishes the job in 10.3 hours.
- What if my garage layout is tight?
- Units like the Wallbox Pulsar Plus 48A feature a compact footprint for small spaces. The Emporia unit also provides built-in energy monitoring if you want to track usage.
Other vehicles
Charging times derived from EPA data for the 2027 Audi S e-tron GT (covering 2 EPA trim listings). Electrical requirements follow NEC 625.41, which sizes a circuit at 125% of a continuous load. Always have a licensed electrician verify your panel.
