The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance has a 55 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 298 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 15.1 kWh per 100 km (or 151 Wh/km) — ranked №418 out of 586 electric vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 8.9 seconds (placing it at №413 among 586 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 160 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 110 kW (148 hp) and a torque of 310 Nm.

Real-world range of Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance

Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance achieves a real-world range of 268–328 km, placing it at №418 among 586 electric vehicles. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance charge port type?

The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance in Europe 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 43 km of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure Performance 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.
