2024 Volkswagen ID.4 Technical EV Specs & FAQ

The 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 has arrived here at Bud Brown Volkswagen in Olathe, Kansas, so if you are considering jumping into electrification, we recommend you check it out today. Although the nameplate is only a couple of years old, the ID.4 has already been revamped this year as VW takes strides to perfect its new all-electric compact crossover. We’d like to highlight some of its most important technical specs and frequently asked questions regarding the EV, so check out the FAQ answers below.

What does ID stand for?

According to Volkswagen executives, the ID in the names of vehicles on the brand’s lineup of EVs stands for “intelligent design, identity and visionary technologies.”

What is the range of the ID.4?

When it comes to electric vehicles, this is typically one of the top three most asked questions regardless of make or model. How far can it go on a single charge? The vehicle’s range largely depends on which powertrain you select, as the ID.4 has a few different ones from which to choose.

The ID.4 Standard and S models are equipped with a 62 kWh battery, producing an EPA-estimated range of 206 miles. ID.4 Pro and Pro S models have 82 kWh battery that can deliver a range of 291 miles with rear-wheel drive.

The ID.4 AWD Pro and Pro S  models add an asynchronous motor to the front axle, boosting power and optimizing traction in exchange for a bit of range, estimated at 263 miles.

How much power does it generate?

Going hand in hand with the previous question, how much power the vehicle is capable of generating depends on the powertrain. In the models with the single permanent magnet synchronous motor, the ID.4 can generate up to 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. New for 2024, models with the 82 kWh battery have a more powerful motor that produces 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel-drive models add an asynchronous electric motor on the front axle for a total system output of 335 hp.

How fast can you charge it?

What happens if you need to travel more than 206, 263, or 291 miles? The good news these days is that there are more and more DC public fast-charging ports cropping up all over the place, so you can typically get a good amount of charge in a short amount of time. With DC-direct or Level 3 charging, the ID.4 Standard and S have a maximum 140-kW DC fast-charging rate. Pro models equipped with the larger 82 kWh battery offer a 175-kW DC fast-charging speed. The faster charge rate on the bigger battery evens things out on Level 3 charging time, which can charge from 10-80% State of Charge in about 30 minutes.  Sure, that is more time you spend filling up a gas tank, but if you charge from home, your daily driving can be carried out with no refueling stops, which certainly makes up for it.

The 2024 ID.4 Charging Plan includes 500 kWh of charging at Electrify America, redeemable through the Electrify America app. That is almost ten 10-80% recharges on the Pro models and more than 11 on the Standard and S models. The plan also covers three years of Electrify America’s Pass+ membership, saving about 25% on charging compared to Guest and Pass membership base charging rates. Pass+ members can use the app to favorite charging stations, get notified when a charger opens up, start charging and track progress, and pay contact-free.
