Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition

The Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 150 kW (201 hp) of power and 229 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 8.2 seconds (ranked №393 out of 586 electric vehicles) and a top speed of 99 mph.

Real-world range of Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition

Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition achieves a real-world range of 237–289 miles, placing it at №198 among 586 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

  • Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
  • Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
  • Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
  • Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
  • Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition charge port type?

The Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 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 11 kW, which translates to roughly 34 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition supports a maximum DC charging rate of 125 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
