What is the range of the electric vehicle ID3?
2 Answers
ID3 has a range of 330 kilometers. Here is relevant information: Range: Range can also be referred to as endurance capability, which indicates the total distance a vehicle or ship can travel continuously with maximum fuel reserves. For electric vehicles, the driving range refers to the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, serving as an important economic indicator for electric vehicles. Influencing factors: If the vehicle is overloaded, it will increase the overall weight, thereby consuming more fuel or electricity. Frequent sudden stops and starts also increase this consumption, consequently shortening the vehicle's cruising capability.
Driving my ID.3 to work, the range feels decent. Officially, a full charge gives about 420 km under WLTP standards. But in reality, road conditions make a big difference: with AC on in summer, it drops to around 360 km, and even lower in cold winters. My daily commute is 60 km, so charging once a week is usually enough. Driving at a steady speed is most efficient; sudden acceleration or high-speed wind resistance can waste up to 10% of the range. I’d recommend the 58kWh battery version—it offers a balanced range and is more than enough for city driving. If you prefer long trips, the 77kWh Pro version with 550 km range is better, though pricier. Remember to maintain it regularly to prevent battery degradation from affecting performance.
