What is the range of the ID3?
2 Answers
The range of the ID3 is 330 kilometers. Here is some relevant information: Range: Range can also be referred to as endurance capability, which indicates the total distance that vehicles like cars or ships 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 until the test ends under standard conditions, serving as an important economic indicator for EVs. Influencing factors: If the vehicle is overloaded, it increases the overall weight, thereby consuming more fuel or electricity. Frequent sudden stops and starts also increase this consumption, leading to a shortened cruising capability of the vehicle.
I've been driving the Volkswagen ID.3 for a while now, and the range feels quite good. The official WLTP-rated range is around 420 to 550 kilometers, depending on the battery capacity: the 58 kWh version gets about 426 km, while the 77 kWh version can reach up to 546 km. I use the 58 kWh version, and for daily city commuting, driving smoothly can easily achieve 380-400 km. However, in summer with air conditioning or winter with heating, the range drops to around 350 km. On the highway, maintaining a steady 110 km/h is manageable, but frequent hard acceleration for overtaking will drain the range faster. I recommend paying attention to driving habits and using regenerative braking to recover energy, which helps stabilize the range and saves on electricity costs. Regular battery maintenance is also important, such as software updates to optimize efficiency. Overall, it's highly practical, especially for city life.
