1 Answers
The U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has announced the tested range of the Volkswagen ID.4, which is 250 miles (402 kilometers). According to the EPA's conversion, the ID.4's MPGe value is 89. Additional details about the EPA testing are as follows: 1. Test Conditions: The testing process includes structured acceleration, following specific routes, activating cruise control, and setting the air conditioning to automatic mode at 22 degrees Celsius. If encountering traffic congestion or abnormal conditions, the test will be paused and resumed later. All tests are conducted according to regulations. Additionally, it is ensured that each vehicle starts with a full charge, and the power consumption per cycle is recorded. 2. Comparison with Tesla Model Y: The Tesla Model Y Long Range version uses an 80.5 kWh battery pack and features all-wheel drive. Its EPA-tested range is 326 miles. The Tesla Model Y was tested at 24 degrees Celsius with heating and cooling air conditioning activated, while the Volkswagen ID.4 was tested at 5 degrees Celsius with heating air conditioning activated. The impact of low temperatures on the battery and the energy consumption of the air conditioning system on the motor result in similar range performances for both vehicles.
