Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
| Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196) |
|---|
 |
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Power | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wall Plug (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 26h45m | 7 mph |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 16h45m | 10 mph |
| 1-phase 32A (7.4 kW) | 230V / 1x31A | 7.2 kW † | 8h30m | 21 mph |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW † | 16h45m | 10 mph |
| 3-phase 32A (22 kW) | 230V / 1x31A | 7.2 kW † | 8h30m | 21 mph |
† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.
Rapid Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure.
- Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
- Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
- Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
- Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%
| Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2) |

 |
| Charging Point | Max. Power | Avg. Power | Time | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCS (50 kW DC) | 50 kW | 40 kW † | 57 min | 120 mph |
| CCS (100 kW DC) | 100 kW | 78 kW † | 29 min | 250 mph |
| CCS (150 kW DC) | 100 kW † | 78 kW † | 29 min | 250 mph |

All about the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure
Pricing
The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure has a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £33,960 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £34,650. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery. The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure is eligible for a Plug-In Car Grant (PICG) of £2,500. The grant will be applied to the invoice of the car. The OTR Price including the PICG for the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure is £32,150.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure is 109 kW (146 hp). The maximum torque is 162 lb-ft. The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure is rear wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 10.9 seconds. The top speed is 99 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure has a total capacity of 55 kWh. The usable capacity is 52 kWh. A range of about 175 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 125 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 260 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 7.2 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 8 hours 30 minutes. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 26 hours 45 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 100 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 78 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 120 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Volkswagen ID.4 Pure is about 295 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 136 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 415 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 200 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Volkswagen ID.4 Pure emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
