Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance

The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 125 kW (168 hp) of power and 229 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 8.7 seconds (ranked №426 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 99 mph.

Real-world range of Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance

The real-world range of the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance is 171–209 miles (ranked №414 out of 586 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

  • Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
  • Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.

Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance charge port type?

The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.2 kW, which translates to roughly 24 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance supports a maximum DC charging rate of 100 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
