What you need to know about making the switch to electric.
Going electric isn’t a sacrifice anymore. From the styling of the vehicles themselves to charging access options, it’s an exciting moment for mobility. And the future of electric vehicles is here with the Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle. Learn more about the latest EV technology, the near-instant torque and acceleration, cost savings, charging options and more. You have questions about moving to electric mobility. We have the answers.
The EV life is the good life with VW
We’re going far to ensure switching to an EV is easy, convenient, and better for everyone.
Plug&Charge
Enjoy the convenience of Plug&Charge at Electrify America charging stations. The Electrify America charging plan5 included with your all‑electric 2024 ID.4 SUV comes with the convenience of Plug&Charge.
DC Fast Charging
he 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 SUV includes a 3 year Electrify America Pass+ membership with Plug&Charge and 500 kWh of charging included. Pass+ members save about 25% compared to the Electrify America Guest and Pass member base charging rate.
Range
The Volkswagen ID.4 Pro can take you where you need to go with an EPA Estimated Range of 291 miles making it a long range electric SUV. Range for all other versions will vary.
EVs use power efficiently, so you can stretch your dollars per mile
Fuel economy comes down to how much energy a vehicle uses in its regular operation, and electric vehicles typically use energy more efficiently than their gas-powered peers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that EVs convert more than three-quarters of the energy they pull from the grid to power at the wheels. Compare that to conventional gasoline vehicles, which convert only about 12 to 30 percent of the energy stored in gasoline to power at the wheels, and you’ll see why EVs are so efficient.
Think MPGe, not mpg.
When you’re talking about the fuel economy of EVs and other non-gasoline-powered vehicles, it’s helpful to think not in terms of miles per gallon (mpg), but miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe). This term, created by the EPA, essentially tells you how far the vehicle could go if it was running on a gallon of gas instead of the equivalent amount of electricity. On every new EV sold in the U.S., you’ll find the MPGe figure on the “Fuel Economy and Environment” portion of the window sticker.
When it comes to fuel economy, EVs are miles ahead.
For example, take a look at the window sticker on the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro electric SUV, and you’ll find the EPA estimates a combined city/ highway MPGe of 107.
Common Misconceptions about Electric Vehicles
This one is one of the biggest myths of all, and most definitely false. Since the electric motor in our EVs is able to deliver power right to the wheels, acceleration is instant. No revving of the motor is needed to get up to speed. EV drivers know this is one of the best-kept secrets of ownership. Plus, our AWD model is even more powerful with a second electric motor.
We beg to differ. The streamlined look of an EV is intentional and purposeful. The aerodynamic design reduces the drag coefficient. Or, in non-gearhead terms, the sleek lines mean you’re boosting your range and maxing out your speed potential. Plus, the VW EV has the striking design of an SUV.
We won’t dispute that these vehicles get the job done. That’s why they’re so beloved by people who place a premium on zero emissions without sacrificing performance. But the moment you sit in the cockpit and see the high-tech features like an expansive glass roof, premium leatherette seats, and wireless phone charging and app-connect—all within a spacious interior—you’ll wonder why you didn’t go EV sooner. Plus, it’s on and ready when you are—no push button start needed.
America’s EV infrastructure is growing by the day. It’s easy to pop in a route and see what’s available on your daily commute, but it’s just as easy (and exciting) to see what’s available on road trips. Plus, fast charging means you can get 5% to 80% charge in about 38 mins at a public DC fast charger.
Because there are so few parts under the hood of an EV, there’s less to maintain and no oil changes ever. Plus, our expansive VW dealership network can work on it.
When people think this, they’re typically imagining either the EVs of the past or high-priced ones. Compared to either of those scenarios, we think you’ll be pleased by the price of our new lineup, starting at a MSRP of $39,995 for the Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle model. Pair that with low maintenance needs and that the ID.4 can provide as much as $4,000 in estimated fuel cost savings over 5 years compared to the average gas vehicle and they’re not so expensive after all.
