About Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022)

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive hatchback. It came out in 2021. Volkswagen stopped making the Pure Performance in 2022 and replaced it with the Volkswagen ID.3 Pro (2020-2023). The car is not available on the US market.

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022) has a 55 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 185 mi on a single charge — ranked №627 out of 811 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 110 kW (148 hp) of power and 229 lb-ft of torque.

This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 8.6 seconds (№69 out of 116 ranked positions, among 811 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 99 mph.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

The estimated real-world range for Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022) is 185 miles, ranking it №177 out of 249 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:

Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.

These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.

For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 7.2 kW, which translates to roughly 27 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance (2021-2022) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 100 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.

To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.
