As Audi prepares to launch its first electric SUV in the Indian market, the company has now revealed the various charging options that will be available for customers.

Customers who buy the e-tron in 2021 will receive two chargers - an 11 kW compact charger and an additional wall-box AC charger that can be set up at the customer's preferred location. Earlier, Audi had also revealed service plans and warranty options for the e-tron.

The company will be setting up 50 kW DC fast chargers at key dealerships across India in a phased manner. Early-bird customers will be able to charge their vehicles free of cost at any Audi dealerships through 2021.
