ID.3 Test: Validates Volkswagen's Electric cars Performance

February 9, 2024
The ID.3, Volkswagen's flagship electric vehicle, has undergone a rigorous test by Europe's largest automobile association, the German ADAC, and emerged with flying colors. Clocking over 100,000 kilometers, the engineers at the Test and Technology Center in Landsberg am Lech have delivered a resounding verdict: the ID.3 maintains an outstanding net battery capacity of 93 percent. This milestone underscores the vehicle's durability and reliability, showcasing its prowess in the electric vehicle landscape. The tested ID.3 Pro S, equipped with a 77 kWh net battery energy content, exemplifies Volkswagen's commitment to longevity, with a guarantee of retaining at least 70 percent of its original net capacity even after eight years or 160,000 kilometers of operation.
 
The ADAC's rigorous testing regimen subjected the ID.3 to demanding conditions, including frequent charges to 100 percent at fast charging stations—a departure from conventional recommendations. Despite this, the vehicle demonstrated remarkable resilience, reaffirming its position as a trailblazer in sustainable mobility. Between test drives, meticulous inspections by engineers ensured the ID.3's continued performance and reliability.
 
Furthermore, the ADAC emphasizes the importance of installing software updates, a practice that proved instrumental during the endurance test. With several updates deployed throughout the testing phase, the ID.3 experienced enhancements in charging power, consumption efficiency, and range optimization. Notably, software upgrades resulted in significant improvements in power consumption, particularly in colder temperatures, further enhancing the vehicle's adaptability to varying conditions.
 
The integration of the intelligent Electric Vehicle Route Planner, delivered via update, garners praise from ADAC testers for its intuitive navigation and efficiency optimization. By analyzing factors such as battery status, traffic conditions, and charging infrastructure performance, the system dynamically plans optimal routes, minimizing charging stops and maximizing driving efficiency.
 
The ID.3's successful completion of the ADAC endurance test reaffirms its position as a frontrunner in electric vehicle technology. With exceptional performance, longevity, and innovative features, the ID.3 sets a new standard for sustainable mobility, offering drivers a compelling blend of reliability, efficiency, and driving pleasure.
