Optiq charging, range & ownership tools

Home charging (the Luxury RWD and Luxury AWD): up to 11.5 kW (about 48 A) — a 48 A charger on a 60 A circuit uses all of it. 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 →
