The “VW ID.5 range” is a topic that concerns many potential buyers of the electric SUV. It describes how many kilometers you can drive on a single battery charge. This is an important factor that can significantly influence the decision for or against an electric car.
Factors Influencing the VW ID.5 Range
The actual range of your VW ID.5 depends on various factors.
- Driving Style: A sporty driving style with frequent acceleration and braking phases consumes more energy than a predictive and smooth driving style.
- Route Profile: On the highway at high speeds, the range decreases compared to driving in the city or on country roads.
- Outside Temperature: Both extreme cold and heat can affect battery performance and thus the range.
- Auxiliary Consumers: Using the air conditioning, heating, seat heating, or other electrical consumers in the vehicle also impacts the range.
“Driving style has a significant impact on the range of an electric car,” explains Dr. Markus Schmidt, e-mobility expert at the Technical University of Munich. “Those who drive predictively and utilize recuperation can significantly increase the range.”
