2021 VW ID.4 Review - Driving Volkswagen's Electric SUV For The Masses • Recommended Books Car Products - http://amzn.to/2BrekJm • Subscribe for new videos every Wednesday! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 • EE Shirts! - http://bit.ly/2BHsiuo • Volkswagen says the ID.4 is their most important vehicle launch since the Beetle. That's big shoes to fill! This long-range all electric vehicle is competing in a highly sought after market, and America's latest crave: the crossover. The ID.4 features 250 miles of range with a 82 kWh battery pack (77 kWh useable), 201 HP and 229 lb-ft of torque, and RWD. The permanent magnet synchronous motor spins up to 16,000 RPM! • It all sounds very exciting, but unfortunately the ID.4 feels like it has come a bit short on the promise of bring electric cars to the millions, not the millionaires. Even with the $7,500 tax credit, the starting price of nearly $40,000 is still a tad high. Especially considering the AWD variants will easily push to $50k with options. But the bigger disappointments come from the current charging system: Electrify America. You'd think charging and navigating a VW on VW's own funded and created network would be seamless, but for now, it's anything but. Check out the video for all the details. • I spoke with a Volkswagen representative who informed me Plug Charge as well as auto-navigation on the Electrify America network will be included as updates later this year, likely in the fall timeframe. • Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program. • • Don't forget to check out my other pages below! • Facebook: / engineeringexplained • Official Website: http://www.howdoesacarwork.com • Twitter: / jasonfenske13 • Instagram: / engineeringexplained • Car Throttle: https://www.carthrottle.com/user/engi... • Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/engineeri... • EE Extra: / @engineeringexplainedextra • • NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY!
