SMALL BATTERY VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 HIGHWAY RANGE TEST! RUNNING THE 62KWH RWD AT 70-MPH

EV Channels Review

This video presents a highway range test of the Volkswagen ID.4 with the smaller 62kWh battery pack, equipped with 20-inch wheels and RWD. The reviewer highlights that this specific model is the entry-level, city-focused version, with an EPA range of 209 miles. Despite initial predictions, the ID.4 achieved a real-world highway range of 192 miles at a consistent 70 mph. The reviewer praises the ID.4's charging performance, noting its ability to charge to 100% quickly, and finds it a comfortable daily driver and commuter car. However, for those considering longer trips or prioritizing resale value and faster charging, the reviewer suggests opting for the larger battery pack or, ideally, a Tesla Model Y due to its superior charging network and efficiency. The reviewer also anticipates potential updates for the 2024 model year, including a new infotainment system and upgraded rear motor, which could further enhance its competitiveness.
