The 2022 ID.4 gets more range than before
The standard ID.4 with rear-wheel drive now gets 280 miles of range. This is an improvement of 20 miles, as the 2021 ID.4 only got 260 miles of range. The all-wheel drive version also received a boost, but a very small one. It used to get 249 miles of range, and now it gets 251 miles of range.
What other changes did VW give the 2022 ID.4?
VW gave the ID.4 a few more tweaks as well. The 2021 version could be charged with up to 125 kilowatts of power. For the 2022 model year, VW bumped that up to 135 kilowatts. This means that, in ideal situations, the ID.4 could be recharged faster than the older model could.
Later in 2022, VW will also introduce "plug-and-charge capability" for the ID.4 when it's at Electrify America charging stations. This will allow drivers to more simply charge their car without having to fiddle with the touch screen at the charging station.
VW didn't make any changes to the car's interior or exterior, but VW did make changes to its pricing. All prices, at all trim levels, are now $765 more expensive than before. This means that the ID.4 will start at just under $41,000, not including the $1,195 destination fee.
Volkswagen is right to prioritize range for the ID.4
Drivers don't want to have to worry about running out of juice when they're driving an EV. By having more range, drivers can rest easy knowing that they probably won't need to recharge for a while.
That's why VW has to improve the range on the ID.4 by a lot, and quickly as well. Cars like the Tesla Model 3 can get about 100 miles more range than the ID.4 can, and that's pretty attractive for customers.
