The good result comes from the fact, that the ID.3 is a true EV. Not based on a fossil car. That's the way to do it, great work VW!

​@@susihormon7821 The platform is built as rwd as base or awd optional with engine and battery placement thought from the begining for electric drive only, it is more efficient from that point of view than a fwd car that has been adapted to an electric drivetrain. plus they placed the battery and engine so weight distribution is good and you won't have the kind of problems in the winter that conventional rwd cars have.

Agreeing with Mr German, in his test he easily lost 20/30 min in stau & baustelle. In optimal conditions & on Autobahn the 10h are reachable (or at least getting real close).

[@Gresteh]

@@bjornnyland It can be done, it will be really hard, but it can be done with the right conditions. Battery Life did it in 10:34 and had traffic, lots of slower zones due to road works and a couple of detours (that's was his actual time, without removing a single minute)... 10h will be hard, but with the right route it can be done (just in Germany, with warm weather and a route with the right number of Ionity stations)... but i'm not sure if that route really exists in reality right now, the one he chose could be good once all the construction is finished, but not right now. In theory a 10h 1000km drive is possible, but that's pretty much the limit, doing it in less time would require tailwind, perfect placement of chargers and willingness to drive to the charger almost empty (less than 3% for each stop). But if we talk about a "practical" time, then yes, 10:30 is about the limit.

Thanks a lot for the test and the video! Two points: 1. a test in a country that - sadly - has a speed limit on the highway is fortunately not yet fully comparable for us Germans.😉 2. how or why do I always see in tests of this kind a prepared calculation regarding "how much do I have to charge at this stop to get to the next charging point" in percent and not in kWh (which have to be in the battery)? Is this easier because only the charge is displayed in percent and you simply have a "translation table" where 50% battery charge is also 50% of the net capacity? Thanks a lot! ✌️

[@topgunm]

They aren't today and it will just become worse. The number of cars vs. chargers, and the slow charing speeds of most non-Tesla EVs just don't work to make a good charging network. Unless the government builds a ton of chargers, the other EVs will not stand a chance to get a good infrastructure. That or 1k+ KM range. The whole point of Tesla is they build SCs to support the cars, not to make money on charging like Fortum, Circle K, etc. This is why you see a ton of chargers per location with Tesla, where 5% of their chargers are used 99% of the time. They don't build for profit like the other's do. They build excessive amounts to give the customers a good "EV package". There is no point building a good buffer of chargers that are only used 3% of the time for any non-Tesla chargers.

[@BerkerCelik]

Hello Björn. Just wanted to explain the tire width and wall profile thing. You say 55 profile tire, but that 55 does mean just the percentage of the width of the tire for the wall profile. That means 215/55 has the wall profile of 55% of 215. In other words, 245/55xx tire has a wall profile of 55% of 245. So the wall profile of two tires with /55/ with different with differs :) Maybe you already knew it, just wanted to add for those who are not familiar with. :) Cheers from Sweden!

[@bisitis]

Only because of avg temperature of +14. If it would have been colder, 1st charge would not last that long and air would be thicker, using of heating, thus most likely one more charging stop (or 5 - 10 minutes extra in each of stops) would have been required. So compared to e.g. Kona, maybe 25 minutes (max) faster.

[@Gresteh]

@@kenny.8934 Yes, but at those temperatures you must also use the heater to warm the interior of the car and that requires extra energy, so you will have to charge for longer to compensate for the extra consumption.

[@Gresteh]

Abraxas Tulammo yes, but even then you are going to lose a lot of efficiency. The ID.3 had almost 15% extra consumption at 12c than at 18c, you can see it in the livestream, the last leg of the trip had a lot more consumption than the previous one even if it was the same route and distance.

[@biff2bart509]

@@Gresteh If it's like E-tron, it can draw more from Charger and keep battery charging maxed while pulling another kW or two for Hvac... I think there are even a few clips in this video where the charger is showing 101kW or 102kW charging power. Also, for fans.

[@Gresteh]

@@biff2bart509 Certainly, but that only helps while charging and not during the trip itself, that's when you will have higher consumption unless you turn HVAC off. It's not just about charging time, it also affects the overall efficiency of the car, less efficiency during the trips equals more charging time for the same distance.

[@lauttehupe]

The 1000km Challenge started with travel from germany over denmark, sweden and norway. Wich is a realistic condition for a holiday trip etc. With the id3 it is a optimized jump between fastchargers without detours etc. So the resulst is not to compare with original 1000km Challenge Results

How much does it cost to charge? From 0-100%

[@panzerveps]

Depends on where you live and the provider of the station. 80-100% takes very long time, and is not recommended on a fast charger.

[@greekguytalks]

obviously you will never get a response... It may cost more to charge from home as it will take 1 whole day +

[@TheEVGuy85]

It's so weird seeing all those EVs on the road. I've seen maybe 20 EVs state wide here in my state. The dealers here have gotten so desperate they started ordering used EVs to sell and they just sit at the dealers. I even had a saleslady at the Honda dealer tell me the 2017 Soul EV charges in an hour on 110v and gets you 300 miles......I had a word with the manager about it..love these and can't wait to have the id.3 here in the states!

[@andreastattarisuo1034]

Why do they put wheels on the Plus and Max that make it less efficient and less comfortable to drive as well? Is there any advantage with 19 or 20 inch?

[@didierpuzenat7280]

Handling...

[@didierpuzenat7280]

And for some people, also probably the sport look, I guess.

[@performensch]

the offer better handling, but the real reason is just looks. bigger rims are usually considered prettier.

@@didierpuzenat7280 sport look of ID3 is a bit joke. :) Those gaps in wheel arches and ground clearance appear so SUVish. IMO this car already needs to be 20-30mm lowered to get back Golf vibe.

Take a look at the e-tron (video linked in description).

Couldn´t quite hear you but did you say Sweden is redzoned and is way safer than Norway? :D // Swede

[@bjornnyland]

Yes, Sweden is red zone. Stay away.

Okay, i guess im waiting for an used one in about 4 years.

[@Felix-no7nx]

You have confused something - the car has a range of 2314 kilometers and has driven 310 kilometers so far XD

[@CNERail]

Wait I thought the max the Id3 can charge at is 50KW? How could you be charging at 70KW?

[@RuneVenes]

Max is 100kW.
