Long range and rapid charging: the battery system is at the heart of the Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4 and ID.4 GTX
- The core #components of the latest e-vehicle generation are manufactured at #volkswagen Group #components in Braunschweig, Germany
- Performance variants from 45 kWh02 to 77 kWh0304; range of up to 549 km in the WLTP
- Rapid charging with a capacity of up to 125 kW, power for 320 km in 30 minutes
What do the fully electric compact #volkswagen #id3, the #id4, which was recently singled out for the “2021 World Car of the Year” award, and the recently presented high-performance model #id4gtx have in common? They all have cutting-edge technology on board in the shape of the high-voltage battery system from #volkswagen Group #components in Braunschweig. This makes for strong performance, long range, excellent safety and rapid charging. The demand for attractive and affordable electric vehicles based on the modular electric drive matrix (MEB) is so high that the site recently expanded production to up to 500,000 batteries a year.
Thomas Schmall, member of the Group Board of Management for Technology and CEO of #volkswagen Group #components: “The battery is the technical heart of the electric vehicle as it determines driving pleasure, costs, range and charging experience. For this reason it plays a key role for ensuring sustained customer satisfaction in our Group brands.”
Battery systems are therefore an integral part of making the ACCELERATE brand strategy a reality. The #volkswagen brand has announced that it will significantly increase its sales figures for electric vehicles by 2030: it intends to increase unit sales of all-electric models (BEV) in Europe to 70 percent, and to 50 percent in the US and China. The long-term aim is complete decarbonisation of the brand in terms of the ecological balance sheet by 2050. “Between now and 2025, we will introduce a new electric vehicle every year. This year it is the sporty SUV Coupé ID.505; next year our new icon, the ID.BUZZ05. In 2025, we will present a model below the #id3, which will make electric mobility available to even more customers,” says Thomas Ulbrich, #volkswagen Brand managing board member for Technical Development.
How much power the growing ID. family, which is built in Europe at the Zwickau site, offers customers ‒ and other interesting technical facts on the battery system:
Battery sizes from 45 kWh to 77 kWh. In the compact #id3, there is a choice of three battery sizes. The compact version with 45 kWh02 net energy content enables a range of up to 352 km on a single charge (WLTP). With 58 kWh0607, the range increases to up to 426 km (WLTP). The large battery with a net energy content of 77 kWh03 offers a maximum range of 549 km (WLTP). The choice is similar for the #id4: the E-SUV can cover up to 346 km (WLTP) with the 52 kWh08battery on board, while a range of up to 522 km (WLTP) is possible with the 77 kWh04 battery. The #id4 GTX09 brings dual-motor all-wheel drive with a maximum output of 220 kW10 to the ID. family. The battery stores 77 kWh of energy (net), enough for realistic customer ranges of up to 480 km (WLTP). It will be launched on European markets this summer.
Output from 10706 kW to 150 kW030407. The electric drive motor of an electric vehicle can only deliver as much power as the battery provides. The #id3 with the 45 kWh battery has an output of 110 kW (150 PS)02, while in the #id3 with the 58 kWh battery the output is 107 kW (146 PS)06 or 150 kW (204 PS)07, depending on the customer’s wishes. With the 77 kWh battery, the #id3 always delivers an output of 150 kW (204 PS)03, just like the ID.404. The 52 kWh battery is also available for the E-SUV with two motor options, offering an output of 109 kW (148 PS)08 and 125 kW (170 PS)11respectively.
