Gold Star Performance

Guess who just aced the long-term test? Yep, it’s Volkswagen’s all-electric darling, the ID.3! According to ADAC, Europe’s automotive watchdog, this hatchback has been through a rigorous four-year scrutiny and emerged with a shiny 91% of its original battery capacity intact. That’s like hitting the gym for four years and still fitting into your favorite jeans!

The VW ID3 A Shining Star in EV Longevity

Tested to Perfection

Over an astonishing 160,000 kilometers (that’s about 99,400 miles for you imperial folks), the ID.3 Pro S strutted its stuff. ADAC’s test engineers didn’t just take it for a Sunday drive. No, they threw everything they had at it, including a diet rich in DC fast charging. They even let it sit at 100% charged sometimes. It’s like the battery went on a binge – risky but revealing!

Efficiency Takes the Stage

Efficiency isn’t just a buzzword here; it’s a way of life. With regular software updates, including the brilliant EV route planner, this little powerhouse didn’t just survive, it thrived. Engineers kept fine-tuning the charging rates, and guess what? The ID.3 showed remarkable resilience, especially in those chilly 0-5°C (32-41°F) days. So, bring on winter; this electric marvel is ready for a frosty fight!

In conclusion, Martin Sander at Volkswagen is boasting that the ID. models aren’t just built to last—they’re also becoming sought-after gems in the used car market. With a battery performance that decimates warranty benchmarks, the ID.3 is not only a stellar vehicle but an appealing investment for the electric future!
