EPA Confirms 250-Mile Range for Volkswagen ID.4 Pro and 1st Edition Electric SUV

Volkswagen of America, Inc., is pleased to announce fuel economy figures for the 2021 ID.4 electric SUV. The ID.4 1st Edition and Pro models have an EPA-estimated 250 miles (402.336 kilometers) of range on a single charge. The EPA-estimated fuel economy for city driving is 104 MPGe; highway driving is rated at 89 MPGe, and combined city/highway at 97 MPGe.

The first models to be launched--ID.4 1st Edition and ID.4 Pro--offer an 82kWh (gross) battery and a rear-mounted AC permanent-magnet synchronous motor with 201 horsepower and 228 pound-feet of torque (309.126Nm). At a DC fast-charging station, with 125 kW charging, the ID.4 can go from five to 80 percent charged in about 38 minutes.

According to the EPA's calculations, which allow for 13 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity, the ID.4 has estimated an annual fuel cost of just $700. Compared to the average new vehicle, this will save owners USD2,250 (around PHP108,158) over five years according to the EPA.

ID.4 owners also benefit from three years of unlimited charging sessions with Electrify America at no additional cost to the vehicle's purchase price. Electrify America is the nation's largest open DC fast-charging network with more than 470 charging stations and over 2,000 DC fast chargers, including a newly-completed cross-country route to take electric vehicle (EV) drivers from Washington D.C. to L.A.

The 2021 ID.4 is on sale now, with pricing for the rear-wheel-drive ID.4 Pro starting at USD39,995  MSRP (PHP1.922.779million), before a potential Federal tax credit of up to USD7,500 (PHP360.566) is applied. The limited-run ID.4 1st Edition, which sold out the day the vehicle was launched, carried an MSRP of USD3,995 (PHP2.115.081). A 302-hp, electric all-wheel-drive variant will follow in 2021.
