Real-world range of the Volkswagen ID.4 1st Edition (2020-2021) is 237–289 miles (ranked №278 out of 693 electric vehicles) — depending on several factors, including:

Speed: Higher speeds deplete the battery faster.
Temperature: Extreme cold and hot weather impacts range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous terrain reduces range.
Driving style: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Use of features: Features like climate control and media system also affect range.

It's important to remember that these are just estimates, and your actual range may vary. It's always best to factor in these various factors when planning your trip and be prepared for potential charging stops.
