It’s a good looking EV, certainly, but it’s also a slippery one. VW says it has a drag coefficient of around 0.23, aiding with maximizing range. There’ll be two batteries, initially: a 77 kWh standard pack in the ID.7 Pro, and a larger 86 kWh version in the ID.7 Pro S. The former will support up to 170 kW DC fast charging; the latter tops out slightly faster, at 200 kW.
Final range figures will have to wait until closer to the EV’s launch, but Volkswagen is making some estimates now. The 77 kWh battery, the automaker predicts, should be capable of approximately 382 miles, while the 86 kWh battery nudges that up to around 435 miles. It’s worth noting that VW’s estimates are based on the WLTP cycle, which tends to be more generous than the U.S. EPA’s version of the tests.
VolkswagenStill, with overall range being a lingering criticism of the ID.4 in the U.S., the idea of a longer-legged electric sedan is a welcome one. VW will use features like automatic battery preconditioning — whenever a charging station is set as the destination — to help minimize time plugged in.
