ID4 Maintenance Precautions?
2 Answers
First maintenance is at 500 kilometers. The following are relevant details: Battery: To properly maintain a pure electric vehicle, the focus should be on maintaining its three-electric system, especially the power battery section. Apart from the three-electric system, other aspects of maintenance are not significantly different from traditional fuel vehicles. Fast Charging: Fast charging causes considerable damage to the power battery due to the high current involved. Therefore, the charging strategy for pure electric vehicles should prioritize slow charging, supplemented by fast charging. If home charging station installation is feasible, it is better to charge as needed. Reduce Fast Charging: Reducing the frequency of fast charging helps minimize overcharging of the power battery, while maintaining good driving habits helps avoid over-discharging. For instance, during regular driving, try to avoid sudden acceleration and deceleration, and refrain from high-speed racing to minimize power battery over-discharge issues.
I've been driving the ID.4 for almost two years and found that maintenance mainly focuses on the battery system. I use slow charging more than three times a week and try to limit fast charging to when the battery is below 10%, stopping at 80% charge. The manufacturer recommends professional inspections for the high-voltage battery, so I take it to the 4S store every 8,000 km for diagnostics—they use equipment to scan battery health and coolant status. Tires are another key point; this car is relatively heavy, so the front tires wear out faster. I check tire pressure and tread depth every two weeks and rotate the tires once a year. Here's a small tip: make sure to close the charging cover tightly when washing the car—once I didn't pay attention, and water got into the charging port, triggering an error. Lastly, don't forget software updates—I update immediately whenever an OTA push arrives, as it not only improves range but also optimizes battery protection strategies.
