Can a Audi Q8 e-tron / Sportback use Tesla Superchargers?
Yes. Audi vehicles have had official Supercharger access since September 2025. You charge at any Supercharger marked “open to non-Tesla” using the Tesla app.
The 2025 Q8 e-tron / Sportback has a CCS1 port. At NACS stalls you need a NACS-to-CCS1 DC adapter: the Audi NACS DC Charging Adapter (8B3054411) ($200). $200 MSRP, port-installed accessory included with new MY2025+ Q6 e-tron, A6 Sportback e-tron and e-tron GT. Availability for existing e-tron/Q8 e-tron owners was 'subject to a future announcement' as of the Sept 2025 launch; the part is now listed for 2019-2025 e-tron/Q8 e-tron on Audi parts sites. Adapter details. Magic Dock sites (green) need no adapter at all.
At the stall: the 2025 charge port is driver-side front. Expect about 165 kW at a V3 stall (the car is rated 170 kW; the 500 A cable and adapter cap it). Nose-in, far forward. 170 kW rated, roughly 165 kW realistic on V3.
How to charge: download the Tesla app, choose “Charge Your Non-Tesla”, add a payment card, pick the site and stall number, plug in, then tap Start. Older V2 Superchargers (grey on the map) only work with Teslas.
- No Audi sold in NA has a native NACS port as of MY2027.
Good to know about Superchargers
- Only Superchargers marked 'open to NACS partners' (V3, V3+ and V4 stalls with the Tesla app 'Charge Your Non-Tesla' flow) are usable by non-Tesla cars. Older V2 stalls are Tesla-only. A small number of V3 'Magic Dock' sites have a built-in CCS1 adapter and work for any CCS1 car regardless of brand agreement.
- V3 and V3+ dispensers run roughly 400-500 V and top out at 250 kW. 800 V-class cars (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis E-GMP, Porsche Taycan/Macan, Audi Q6/A6 e-tron, Lucid, Mercedes CLA, Cadillac Escalade IQ/GMC Hummer/Silverado EV in some modes) charge slower there unless they have an on-board boost converter. V4 cabinets (500 kW, up to 1,000 V) started going live in September 2025 and remove that penalty.
- V3 cables are short and sized for Tesla's rear-left port. Cars with a front or passenger-side port often have to park nose-in or across two stalls. V4 posts have longer cables.
- Adapters: only a DC 'NACS-to-CCS1' adapter approved by the vehicle maker is covered by that maker's warranty; Tesla's app will still let unapproved adapters charge, but the OEM may deny warranty claims. AC 'J1772-to-NACS' adapters are a different product and are irrelevant for Superchargers.
