Charging Speed
The Audi Q4 e-tron has a peak DC charging speed of 175 kW, which is roughly 17% faster than the Subaru Solterra at 150 kW. In practice, peak speed only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the 10-80% charge (the most common DC fast charging scenario), the Audi Q4 e-tron finishes in about 28 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker than the Subaru Solterra at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The Audi Q4 e-tron has a WLTP rated range of approximately 562 km, which is roughly 147 km more than the Subaru Solterra at approximately 415 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Audi Q4 e-tron consumes 179 Wh/km, compared to 186 Wh/km for the Subaru Solterra. That means the Audi Q4 e-tron uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Audi Q4 e-tron has approximately 77 kWh of useable battery , while the Subaru Solterra has approximately 69 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging speed is your priority, the Audi Q4 e-tron wins on both peak power (up to 175 kW) and time at the plug (approximately 28 minutes from 10-80%). For long road trips with multiple charging stops, that faster turnaround makes a real difference.
For AC charging (home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public street chargers), the Audi Q4 e-tron supports up to 11 kW, compared to 6.6 kW for the Subaru Solterra. In Europe, many public chargers are 22 kW AC, so this difference can mean charging roughly twice as fast at those locations.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Audi Q4 e-tron is the more efficient choice at 179 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the Audi Q4 e-tron has a WLTP rated range of approximately 562 km, which is roughly 147 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
