How to Charge the Volkswagen ID4?
2 Answers
Similar to electric vehicles from other brands, the Volkswagen ID4 can be charged by directly inserting the charging gun into the charging port at locations with charging stations. There are two types of portable chargers available: a 16A charger for emergency top-ups and a 32A charger that can fully charge the vehicle in 8-12 hours.
Charging the Volkswagen ID.4 is actually quite simple. I usually use a home charging station or public fast-charging stations. With the home charger, just plug it in and it's ready to use—the charging port is located in the front grille; open the cover and insert the cable, then start charging via the app or the car's screen. Charging overnight typically fills it up by morning, which is very cost-effective. When I'm out and about, I use fast-charging stations, which are often available in places like supermarket parking lots—they can charge the battery to more than half in about 30 minutes. Remember not to charge in the rain, and regularly check the charging cable contacts to avoid efficiency loss due to wear. The Volkswagen car app is very handy, allowing you to monitor remaining time and battery level, and plan charging times to avoid peak rates for better savings. The ID.4's battery is durable, making this charging method both convenient and eco-friendly.
