ID.4 EPA range by model year

EPA's range figures show how much the ID.4 changed with the 2024 motor update. The rear-drive Pro went from 260 miles in 2021 to 291 miles from 2024. VW also sold a lower-priced 62-kWh RWD version from late 2022; EPA lists a shorter-range base ID.4 at 209 miles for 2023 and 206 for 2024.

  • 2021 Pro RWD: 260 mi; AWD Pro: 249 mi

ID.4 charging: DC, home and Tesla Superchargers

VW says the 2026 ID.4 charges from 10% to 80% in about 28 minutes on a DC fast charger in optimal conditions. Its maximum AC rate is 11 kW, and a full charge from empty takes up to about 8 hours on an 11-kW home wall charger, which matches the 8 hours EPA lists for 240-volt charging.

The included 2-in-1 cable works on a 120-volt outlet (about 1.2 kW, roughly 3 miles of range per hour) or a 240-volt outlet (about 9.6 kW, up to 27 miles per hour). The ID.4 can use Tesla Superchargers with a VW-approved NACS adapter, and VW includes a 2-year charging plan.[2][4][3]

RWD vs AWD ID.4

AWD costs $3,900 more on the Pro ($48,995 vs $45,095). VW quotes 0–60 mph in 4.9 seconds for the AWD Pro S. The trade-off is range: 263 miles against 291, and 102 MPGe combined against 113.[1][4][3][5]

Where the ID.4 is built

VW began US assembly of the ID.4 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in July 2022, initially in RWD and AWD versions with an 82-kWh battery. VW said 190,000 ID.4s had been delivered worldwide by then.[6]

Volkswagen ID.4 problems and recalls

The most serious documented Volkswagen ID.4 problems involve the high-voltage battery: 2023–2026 models are covered by several fire-risk recalls, one with its remedy still in development as of late 2026 (26V630). Door handles that can let water in and open a door (2021–2024), 12-volt charging faults and display software resets have also been recalled.
