Up to 19.2 kW (about 80 A) on trims with the optional upgraded onboard charger, which takes an 80 A charger on a 100 A circuit. We haven't found a published figure for the Optiq-V AWD; check the owner's manual. At that rate it adds about 34–36 miles of range an hour, by trim (EPA efficiency). 48 A home chargers that fit the Optiq →
