Why Volkswagen Charging Solutions Are Different

Volkswagen has introduced an impressive range of electric vehicles in recent years, including the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5 and ID. Buzz. Each model has specific charging specifications that optimise the charging process:

• Volkswagen ID.3 : Available with battery packs ranging from 45 kWh to 82 kWh. AC charging power is up to 11 kW, while DC fast charging is possible up to 170 kW, depending on battery size .

• Volkswagen ID.4 : Equipped with a 77 kWh battery, with an AC charging capacity of 11 kW and DC fast charging up to 135 kW. This ensures an efficient charging time and a long range.

• Volkswagen ID.5 : This model shares many technical features with the ID.4, including a 77 kWh battery and comparable charging capacities, making it easy to charge both at home and on the go.

• Volkswagen ID. Buzz : With an 82 kWh battery pack, the ID. Buzz offers a range of approximately 423 km. The AC charging power is 11 kW and DC fast charging can be up to 175 kW, which enables fast charging times.

These specific charging specifications mean that it is essential to choose charging solutions that are compatible with the unique characteristics of your Volkswagen.

Charging at home or on the go? This suits Volkswagen drivers

Flexibility is essential for Volkswagen drivers. Charging at home offers convenience and ensures that your vehicle is always ready for use. With a suitable wallbox, you can fully charge your Volkswagen overnight. On the road, you benefit from an extensive network of public charging stations, making long distances no problem. Fast chargers along motorways make it possible to charge a considerable range in a short time.

Which charging cables, chargers and stations are suitable?

For optimum charging convenience and safety, it is important to use the correct accessories:

• Charging Cables : Volkswagen models use a Type 2 connector, also known as the Mennekes plug. Make sure your charging cable is suitable for the maximum AC charging power of your specific model.

• Home chargers (wallboxes) : An 11 kW wallbox is ideal for most Volkswagen EVs, allowing you to charge efficiently at home.

• Charging stations : For charging on the go, DC fast chargers with a power of up to 175 kW are suitable for models such as the ID. Buzz, while the ID.4 and ID.5 charge optimally at fast chargers up to 135 kW.
