About a month ago bought a used ID.4 Pro 2022 for ~€23k here in Sweden and I’m loving the car so far!
I’m a little “worried” about the winter and charging on the road on longer trips but hopefully it won’t be too much of an issue when it’s freezing outside.
I was also a bit worried about the charging on longer trips, but I don’t find it to a big issue after having tried it a couple of times. It does ad to the travel time of course, but visiting family in the other end of the country, we were told that we were not nearly as tired as we used to be. And our old car was a pretty nice and comfortable car too.
The range is clearly shorter in the winter, but the charge speed is decent IMO. We generally go for charges from 10-60% because above 60% the charge speed declines. Before going on a long trip we charge to 100% at home.
But there is no way around that on long trips, the charging does ad some extra time. On the other hand, you just plug it in, and go back to your car, or go to grab a bite of something. So the extra time is generally quite relaxing.
Yeah, the charging time is very negligible so far, we usually stop to use the restroom and let our dog stretch her legs anyway. The first time we traveled a long distance we stopped for a charge way to early, but now we have a little more experience so we won’t do the same mistake again.
