Your new Volkswagen ID.4 is not just a symbol of technological advancement, but it also represents a commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking design. Being an electric vehicle, one of the key aspects that differentiates the ID.4 from conventional cars is how it's fueled, or more accurately, how it's charged.
There are three main ways you can charge your Volkswagen ID.4, each offering different levels of speed and convenience. These are Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 charging.
Level 1 Charging: This method uses a 120-volt AC plug, the standard home outlet in most households. Although it's the slowest charging method, it requires no additional equipment or installation, making it the most accessible way to charge your ID.4. With Level 1 charging, your vehicle can gain about 5 km of range per hour.
Level 2 Charging: Level 2 charging stations operate on a 240-volt system. This is the same type of current used by large appliances in your home like ovens and electric dryers. Level 2 charging stations are available for home installation and are often found in public parking areas, businesses, and shopping centers. These chargers can provide your ID.4 with approximately 50 km of range per hour, enabling a full charge in about 8 hours.
Level 3 Charging (DC Fast Charging): For the fastest charging experience, Level 3 public charging stations, also known as DC Fast Charging stations, are your best bet. These chargers can deliver around 100 km of charge in just about 10 minutes using a whopping 350 kW of power. Level 3 chargers are typically found along major highways and in city centers.
As an added bonus, Volkswagen EV owners are eligible for up to four years of unlimited charging with Electrify Canada, which boasts the fastest-growing network of public Level 3 chargers in the country.
With a maximizing range of 443 km in the ID.4 PRO models and 336 km in the more accessible 2023 ID.4 RWD, range anxiety is a thing of the past. With the ID.4 and its versatile charging options, you'll always be ready for your next adventure.
