The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 Eliminates Range Anxiety

February 23rd, 2022 by

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures for the 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 are in! The electric SUV now boasts 280 miles of all-electric range, an increase of 20 miles from its debut 2021 model. Additionally, Volkswagen also announced figures for its ID.3 Pro S rear-wheel drive – 251 miles of range, while the ID.4 all-wheel drive Pro S boasts 245 miles of range. 

All ID.4 vehicles come equipped with an 82 kWh battery that’s paired with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor housed in the rear, generating 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. The all-wheel drive variant adds an asynchronous electric motor housed in the front axle that adds power and performance. The front unit alone adds 107 horsepower and 119 lb-ft of torque, taking the ID.4 AWD to a maximum output of 295 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. 

Volkswagen not only improved the model’s overall range, it also improved its DC fast-charging speed for 2022, taking it from 125 kWh to 135 kWh. The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 comes standard with three years’ access to unlimited 30-minute charging sessions over at Electrify America DC fast chargers. This perk comes at no additional cost, helping owners exercise range confidence. Volkswagen customers can manage their charging plans via the Electrify America app. For the 2022 model year, the ID.4 will offer a Plug and Charge feature (later availability) to aid in simplifying the charging process at Electrify America. 

Electrify America currently has 800 charging stations, with about 3,500 individual ultra-fast chargers already completed and open for use in the U.S. By 2026, Electrify America is expected to more than double its infrastructure with a total of 1,800 charging stations and up to 10,000 individual chargers throughout the United States and Canada. The 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 has a starting MSRP of $40,760 (plus destination fee), before a potential Federal Tax credit up to $7,500. The 2022 ID.4 AWD Pro has a starting MSRP of $44,440 (plus destination fee), while the Pro S trim starts at $45,260 (plus destination fee) in rear-wheel drive configuration and $48,940 (plus destination fee) for all-wheel drive.
