Electric mobility is the future, and the Volkswagen ID.4 is a key part of this movement. But how does ID.4 charging actually work? In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about charging your ID.4 – from the different charging options to charging times, helpful tips, and tricks.
ID.4 Charging: An Overview
‘ID.4 Charging’ is more than just plugging your vehicle into a charging station. It involves choosing the right charging option, understanding charging times, and optimizing the charging process for maximum efficiency. From home Wallboxes to highway fast-charging stations – the possibilities are diverse.

Charging Options for the ID.4
The ID.4 offers flexible charging options. At home, you can conveniently charge using a Wallbox, which provides faster charging than a conventional household socket. On the go, public charging stations are available, including AC and DC fast-charging stations. ‘AC charging stations (Alternating Current)’ deliver alternating current and are ideal for longer charging times, while ‘DC charging stations (Direct Current)’ deliver direct current and enable ultra-fast charging. Dr. Hans Müller, an electrical engineer and author of the book ‘Electric Mobility in Everyday Life,’ emphasizes, ‘Choosing the right charging station is crucial for efficient and cost-effective charging.’
Charging Duration and Range
The charging duration of the ID.4 depends on the charging power and the battery’s state of charge. At a DC fast-charging station, the ID.4 can quickly restore a large portion of its battery capacity. Charging takes longer at an AC charging station. The range of the ID.4 varies depending on driving style and environmental conditions.
Tips and Tricks for ID.4 Charging
To maximize the lifespan of your ID.4 battery, avoid extreme temperatures during charging and do not continuously charge the battery to 100%. Regular charging in the middle range (20-80%) is optimal. Use the pre-conditioning feature of your ID.4 to bring the battery to the optimal temperature before charging. ‘Pre-conditioning optimizes the charging process and protects the battery,’ says Dr. Anna Schmidt, battery expert at ‘ePower Solutions.’
ID.4 Charging: Costs and Economy
The costs for charging the ID.4 vary depending on the provider and charging tariff. Compare prices from different providers to find the most affordable charging options. In the long run, electric mobility offers significant cost savings compared to combustion engines, both in energy and maintenance costs.
