I was thinking of the same one. If you can report your experience with it over the next week or two, that would be great.

Does anyone know the part number or if it is even possible to order this black box/cover from Audi. This is on display at my local Audi dealer and they say it can only be ordered as a kit, Audi part # 8V4-971-675-AN (clip mount, charger unit, black box/cover and stand) for $1,800. Since the charger unit and plug pig tail already come included with the car, I only need the box to make it a very clean mounting system on the wall. I know Audi parts are expensive but this is insane.

I have a dryer outlet in my garage. I purchased the JuiceBox New Dryer EV Charging Adapter NEMA 14-30 from Amazon $34.00. They have the 3 prongs or 4 prongs dryer plug.
The adapter works great with the Audi charger. As others have mentioned, the charger defaults to 50% charge. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...6910115b73.png |

Whats the sacrifice on charging time. I think it’s typically 9 hours to charge at 100% power (40amps) so does it mean at 50% (20amps) it will take 18 hours get a full charge?

at 50%, my dash was showing 10 mph and 4.3 kW ( so a little lower than 50% of 9.6 kW ), there are probably efficiency loss, but close enough.

Where you charging with AC unit on? Because when charging the AC unit draws power from the charger, which means there is less power available to charge the battery.
Regards, Gabriel Also some words of warning, if you use a dryer plug or adapter: - if the wiring line is long, poor quality, dirty contacts, most chargers will detect the voltage drop and reduce the amperage to reduce fire risk . ( in my situation there are 6 gauge wires and only 30 feet length and all new breaker + socket) - if you use an adapter / extension cable, please don't pick up a "questionable / made in china / UL-listed counterfeit" ones, only buy from reputable sellers and cable/adapter design for EV, as we require continuously load for hours. Unlike a dryer and welder, which are not 100% cycle, and some of those cable/adapter use aluminum instead of cooper wires |
