CCS was implemented as the European standard. Even Teslas come with CCS here, that’s why you’ll often find Teslas charging at “ordinary” charging stations when there are no superchargers around.

Hey, the charging station screen was actually accurate. It said 60 minutes to 100% charge when you plugged it in, and that's what you got.

FYI - CCS is the whole European standard. Chademo is dead in here, only old Nissans have it (and old Tesla Model S/X with adapter) new cars must have CCS for DC charging.

The guy from Battery Life has one of the first ID.3 delivered to customers, in his 2-100% test back then he reached 80% in 39 Minutes (he used an IONITY charger that doesn’t show seconds), now 0-80% took only 36,5 minutes. So for a normal charging session you win 2-3 minutes with the new software.

130kW charging, that's new. In the older software it was limited to 100kW. Now I just have to get the OTA update for my ID.3. No sign of it yet...

Another awesome test Kyle I wish I could get a id3 here or Honda E

This battery pack was limited to 100 kW for the MY 20 and 21. MY 22 is announced with 120 kW peak charging power. The chiller is a 5kW unit, but in some tests from Björn you could see that it takes quite long (from 40% if I remember correctly) for the car to start cooling the cells. Don’t know maybe VW has decided to go 125 kW on the mid battery.

This charging curve is almost exactly what I get on my Model Y SR. Usually under 100kW by 40%

The first ~5 minutes of this video are in desperate need of an audio notch filter to remove the high frequency whine from that charger. Great video though, thanks!

It seems like you keep choosing the cable opposite of the space you are in (in other vids as well). Is there a reason for that?

@benjaminschneider4555

2 жыл бұрын

That's right, if you want to charge on a Super Charger, the charging socket on a Volkswagen is on the right side, on combustion engines the cap for refueling is there, on Tesla the socket for charging is on the left at the back. The charging cable does not reach the socket on the VW, you have to park your car one space to the left, then it works, but you then actually occupy 2 spaces.

Can you remember roughly how long you had been driving prior to charging and what was the ambient temp before you began?

I do like the id3! I hope it comes to the US!

4:27 Smart move. Those efacec charging stations are just the worst, especially the ones operated by Allego. Always look out for the bulky Alpitronic stations like the one you ended up using. Those are solid and reliable.

What does ID.4 stand for? I was told by someone online but don’t recall. The lady at the VW center didn’t figure it out. I told her but I forgot. Anybody know?

I don't see them bringing that battery to the U.S. with the ID.4 big such a big/ heavy car. It's better in the ID.3 smaller/ lighter car for local city drivers. Not mix driving which Americans tend to do more of not to mention we pack our car adding more weight.

Batteries are warranted to 8 years.. Depending how often one uses CCS to charge the battery, temperatures where the car is usually parked (hot weather tends to degrade the battery), these batteries should be good for at least 10 years.

I can’t believe they are going to bring a smaller sized pack to the US ID.4. It will probably have a sub-200 mile range. That will not be very well received by Americans at all. If anything, they needed to offer us a LARGER battery pack with closer to 300 miles of range. A 90kWh usable pack would be better in an ID.4 as it is a thirsty girl. I’d also really like to see VW drastically improve efficiency. A vehicle the size of the ID.4 should be doing a MINIMUM of 3 miles per kWh (333wh/mi) at 75mph.

@CFG39

2 жыл бұрын

@Ferdi Posh the issue is in the US there is a very big problem with a lack of CCS chargers. 205 miles is not enough to get to and from each station, especially when you typically will only be charging to 80% at each station, and trying to charge again before you get much below 10%, so you really only have 70% of that 205 mile range, or about 140 miles. That’s in summer. Add in rain that uses the wipers which consume a ton of energy, or snow or cold and you are near 100-120 miles of usable energy per charge. That sucks.

Skip to 6:40 if you want to avoid ear-piercing screams from the charger.

You should test something with LFP batteries... find a model Y or 3. Also eat a bratwurst.
