Things to check

Battery recall (US 23V-867; UK R/2024/040 and R/2024/041): on 2019-2022 e-trons some battery modules may overheat. Until checked, do not charge above 80%. Modules are replaced if needed. Check the VIN. check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk
Certain vehicles with a specific type of high-voltage battery may have cell modules with technical irregularities
Early 2019 cars (US 19V-434; UK R/2019/182, built February to April 2019): water could get into the battery through the charging socket seal. Check the recall was done. api.nhtsa.gov
Moisture can enter the high-voltage battery system through a faulty seal on the charging socket.
Cars built before week 47 of 2019 can use 83.6 kWh of the 95 kWh battery; later e-tron 55s can use 86.5 kWh. electrichasgoneaudi.net
For models produced before week 47 in 2019, the available battery is 83.6 kWh.
US recall 23V-842: the 240 V portable charging cable can overheat. Audi supplies a new cable with a temperature sensor. Check the car comes with the new cable. api.nhtsa.gov
Owners are advised not to use the 220V/240V compact/portable charging cable
