How to Charge the 2023 VW ID.4
Charging your ID.4 is simple, whether you are at home or on the road. For one thing, your ID.4 will come with three years of unlimited 30-minute charging sessions at quick-charge Electrify America charging stations nationwide. This means you can easily locate a charger anywhere, even if you’re miles and miles away from your home charging setup.
The Charging Infrastructure
The key to conveniently charging your ID.4 is access to the over 45,000 Electrify America charging stations across the nation. If you prefer to do all of your EV charging away from home, then these charging stations make it easy. The network of these charging stations is constantly growing. You can find these public charging stations by searching for locations near you online.
DC Charging
For fast charging, you can access DC stations across the nation. Currently, there are 1,700 DC fast-charge stations, so you can get the benefit of a quick charge if you’re on the go or in a hurry. These charging stations allow you to go from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes.
At-Home Charging
When you buy your VW ID.4, you will be able to purchase a Level 2 charger that you can use at home with an Electrify Home charging station. The HomeStation is certified by Energy Star and Wi-Fi capable, which means you will be able to access your charging status via a mobile app. Qmerit can install your home charger and Electrify Home kit at your convenience.
Importantly, the Level 2 charger allows you to fully charge your ID.4 in 7 to 11 hours. An overnight charge is the best way to ensure you have plenty of battery power on the road when you’re away from home.
Do EV Vehicles Help You Save on Fuel Costs?
One of the biggest benefits of buying a fully electric vehicle is the ability to cut down on fuel expenses. Volkswagen projects that drivers can save a lot of money in gas over five years when they purchase an ID.4 or another fully electric VW vehicle. Along with saving on fuel costs, drivers may also be eligible for certain tax savings.
Charging your new ID.4 is convenient whether you are at home or on the road. With home charging, you can get a full charge overnight, whereas public charging allows you to top up your battery in 30 minutes. To take the ID.4 out for a test drive, visit DARCARS Volkswagen today.
