Recently, Battery Life, a foreign media outlet, conducted a high-speed endurance test on the new Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S. The actual endurance of the ID.3 Pro S was around 350-360 km at an average speed of 119 km/h.
There are three endurance versions of the ID.3:
-
The entry-level model is equipped with a 48 kWh battery pack, with a WLTP endurance of 330 km;
-
The mid-range model is equipped with a 58 kWh battery pack, with a WLTP endurance of 420 km;
-
The top-of-the-range model will be equipped with a 77 kWh battery pack, with a WLTP endurance of 550 km.
Battery Life fully charged this top-of-the-line ID.3 Pro S at the service area, and drove at a constant speed of 130 km/h on the highway. It drove a total of 351 km with 9 km of remaining endurance, at an average speed of 119 km/h.
One detail worth noting is that the displayed endurance of the ID.3 follows the actual power consumption. When driving at a speed of 130 km/h, the electricity consumption of the ID.3 is about 20 kWh/100 km.
Although 20 kWh/100 km is a very high power consumption value for the ID.3, it should be noted that for electric cars, the faster the speed, the higher the power consumption. Moreover, as the speed increases, the power consumption will increase exponentially. Therefore, the power consumption of the ID.3 under high-speed road conditions in China is still an unknown variable.
I am very curious whether Germans are still satisfied with the endurance of the ID.3.
