Issues while connecting to fast chargers

[Evholic_46]

Hi!
I had a long trip with my E-tron that made me less confident about going to another one.
I left home with full charge. Before getting it below the 50-mile range, I wanted to charge it. And here comes the uncool part.
I had to try 7 fast chargers to manage charging my car. It didn't want to connect. I used 5 EA chargers and 3 chargers at ChargePoint (2x 150kWh charger and 1x L2 charger). It worked on the eighth one, which was a 150 kWh one. Weird, I know. Now, I am home, but as I said, I am less confident about taking the car on another long road trip. What do you think?

What did the MyAudi app show under the EA tab when you were having issues? Also, is Plug and Charge activated on your Q8?

Has Plug & Charge ever actually worked for you? It’s the easiest way to use EA, free and meant to work with your car. Might be worth sorting it out before your next road trip to avoid any charging headaches on the road.

Have you checked if a different cable could help?
