Charging stations outside of your home will have a varying kW charge, however are generally at a 50 kW level, allowing a full charge from flat in a little under 2 hours.

What effect will loadshedding have?

Loadshedding is generally managed and scheduled per area, so you should be able to plan around this. Most home-charging takes place overnight, when loadshedding does not usually occur. If at any time, loadshedding takes place when you need to charge your e-tron, you may find a suitable public charging facility close to your place of residence. The range is the Audi e-tron is sufficient, so that often, with usual daily commuting, daily charging is not always necessary. Are there many charging stations outside of the main cities? How do I find them? Yes, there are many public charging stations around the country for fast (DC) charging. We are partnering with a leading and reputable service provider to ensure customers have access to the available public charging stations across the country.
