Charging costs and ERE

# Audi Q8 e-tron home chargingcharger: €5.71/100 km

What does ERE bring in with your Audi Q8 e-tron?

How far do you drive a year?

15,000km

That is 3,315 kWh charged at home a year

Home charger

## Which home charger suits the Audi Q8 e-tron?

The Audi Q8 e-tron charges at home at up to 11 kW three-phase. A 11 kW (3 phases, 16 A) charger is enough: it charges from 20 to 80% in about 6 h 30 min. A 22 kW charger does not make it faster. With the optional 22 kW onboard charger and a 22 kW charger it takes about 3 h 15 min.

Production ended in early 2025; figures for the 55/SQ8 versions, the Q8 50 e-tron has 89 kWh net and 150 kW DC; 22 kW onboard charger was optional.

For ERE the charger matters, not the car: home charging only earns ERE with a MID meter built into the charger. [Do the charger check](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/charger-check/)

Bidirectional charging

## Can the Audi Q8 e-tron supply power back?

No V2L, V2H or V2G. Audi calls the Q4 e-tron its first model with bidirectional charging. According to ev-database.org, Q8 e-tron production ended in November 2024.

ERE

## Earning ERE with your Audi Q8 e-tron

For every kWh you charge at home you can have emission reduction units (ERE) registered and sold, through an ERE provider. Public charging does not count for you.

1.  A charger with a built-in MID meter

    Since 1 January 2026, only a MID meter built into the charger itself counts for private users. A separate MID meter in the meter cupboard, or only a smart meter, is not enough. Of the 110 charger models we researched, 53 have a built-in MID meter.

    [Do the charger check](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/charger-check/) [Chargers by brand](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/ere-charger/)

2.  An ERE provider

    The provider books your charging sessions with the NEa and sells the EREs. Commissions range from 10% to 28%; above we use the median of 20%.

    [Compare ERE providers](https://erevergelijken.eu/en/compare/)

3.  Cheaper at home and on the road

    With a dynamic contract and smart charging you pay the least per kWh at home; on the road a suitable charging card makes a difference.

Depending on the version it is usually between 21.2 and 23.1 kWh. Real consumption is often higher, especially in winter and on the motorway.

Which home charger suits the Audi Q8 e-tron?

The Audi Q8 e-tron charges at home at up to 11 kW three-phase. A 11 kW (3 phases, 16 A) charger is enough: it charges from 20 to 80% in about 6 h 30 min. A 22 kW charger does not make it faster. With the optional 22 kW onboard charger and a 22 kW charger it takes about 3 h 15 min. For ERE the charger needs a built-in MID meter.

How long does charging an Audi Q8 e-tron at home take?

With a 11 kW (3 phases, 16 A) charger the Audi Q8 e-tron charges from 20 to 80% in about 6 h 30 min, and from 10 to 100% in about 9 h 45 min (106 kWh usable battery, 10% charging losses). On a 3.7 kW charger 20 to 80% takes about 19 h.

What does charging an Audi Q8 e-tron at home cost per 100 km?

On a dynamic contract €5.71 per 100 km, at the average price of €0.259 per kWh over October 2025 to September 2026 (market price, energy tax, VAT and the median markup). If you only charge in the 4 cheapest hours of the day, it is €4.11.

What does an Audi Q8 e-tron cost per year in charging?

At 15,000 km a year you charge about 3,315 kWh. That costs €855 at home on a dynamic contract, €615 if you charge smart, €1,890 at public chargers without a card and €2,670 if you fast-charge everything without a card.

How much ERE does an Audi Q8 e-tron earn?

Charging 15,000 km a year at home is 3,315 kWh, or 1,103 ERE. At €0.460 per ERE and after the median commission of 20% that is about €405 a year. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter; public charging earns you no ERE.

What does fast charging an Audi Q8 e-tron cost?

Without a card €17.79 per 100 km, at the median price of €0.80 per kWh across the 4 fast-charging networks that publish one (October 21, 2026). A subscription or a network’s own app can be cheaper; compare them under charging cards.
