- In summer, 9 hours and 30 minutes may be possible.
- Route planning can be done using the car’s navigation or, more accurately, a third party route planner app.
- The route planner app can be linked to the car to give live data like voltage, state of charge, and battery temperature.
- In highway driving it's challenging to maintain an optimal speed with so many slower-moving cars in the passing lane.

- High charging power and good battery cooling are needed.
- The 400 V design accepts most chargers.
- The matrix headlights are wonderful, they turn on the curve and shine bright and wide.
- The car is very efficient and can be compared to what BMW and Mercedes are doing, though the ID7 is cheaper than some of its competitors.

- The range displayed by the car's navigation system differs from the one displayed if it cannot find an exact route.
- An issue: opening the door will temporarily stop the cooling system.
- At a fast charger, the car got 180 kw, which is about full power.
- Even at 54% capacity, it can still take on 128 kw of charge.
