VW ID4 INSIDERS - EPISODE 2: PLANNING AND DRIVING VW ID4 ACROSS THE COUNTRY

EV Channels Review

This episode features a detailed discussion between Joe and John about their extensive cross-country road trips in their Volkswagen ID.4s. Both hosts highlight the vehicle's surprisingly capable charging performance, often exceeding manufacturer claims, and its comfortable, quiet ride, which proved superior to their previous Kia. However, the infotainment and navigation system, particularly its inability to accurately account for elevation changes and its generally poor performance, is a significant point of criticism. They also touch upon the effectiveness of driver-assist features, noting the ID.4's 'Travel Assist' can be overly sensitive to other vehicles. Despite the software shortcomings, both hosts express a strong willingness to undertake similar EV road trips again, indicating the ID.4's overall suitability for long-distance travel when paired with effective third-party planning tools.
