This is a bit of navel gazing as I’ve now had my id.4 for just over a month. We’ve only managed a mere 350 miles. While we’ve had the car it’s been enjoyable. Prior to pickup I had an l2 installed at home, since I live in a fast charger black hole. We had a major issue in the first week, and It spend the entire month of July at the dealer being serviced. It was pretty disappointing. The loaner wasn’t the id.4 I purchased, and has really left me concerned about the longevity of this purchase. Any other new EV owners out their learning the ropes? I’ve yet to take my first big road trip in it because it was broken :(.
I was a little surprised at how expensive it was, and I’ve only got 500kwh of charging… But that’s why I got l2 at home.
I think you mean .5 kWh, yeah, that would take forever. I get about 1.2 kWh, which can recover most day to day driving. Having said that, I’m also thinking of getting an L2 for the winter. I don’t think reduction in range will be that bad, but I got a free charging station with the car so might as well use it!
.90 cents CAD per kWh was a little nutty!
No I mean vw gives electrify America 500 kWh charging for the 24’s, unlike prior years with free 30 m sessions for 3 years![vw Id 4 charging plan](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ca15a78e-e221-4c6e-ac84-7e914a3365a2.png)
Ahhhh gotcha that makes way more sense!
