Think EVs don’t have a capable range?

One of the most common misconceptions about electric vehicles is that they have a very limited range in comparison to ICE vehicles, making them impractical for long-distance travel or everyday use. However, advancements in battery technology, particularly by Volkswagen, have significantly increased the driving range of modern EVs, putting this myth to rest.

Volkswagen ID.3: Efficient and Capable

The Volkswagen ID.3 is another strong contender in the electric market. With options offering up to 340 miles of range , the ID.3 proves that electric cars are not only practical for city driving but can also handle longer journeys with ease. The compact nature of the ID.3 doesn’t compromise its ability to cover distance, showing that even smaller EVs can break the range myth.

Owning an Electric Vehicle Is Expensive

A prevalent myth surrounding electric vehicles is that they are more expensive to own and maintain than traditional petrol or diesel. While the upfront cost of some EV models can be higher, this perception doesn’t account for the long-term savings that EVs offer, as well as the competitive pricing on models like Volkswagen’s electric range. When you consider purchase incentives, reduced maintenance, and lower fuel costs, owning a Volkswagen EV is often more affordable than many people assume.

Thinking Electric Vehicles Are Difficult to Charge?

A common misconception about electric vehicles (EVs) is that they are difficult to charge, whether due to a perceived lack of charging points, slow charging times, or complicated charging processes. However, with the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure, improvements in charging speed, and convenient home-charging options, owning and charging an EV, like those in Volkswagen’s electric lineup, is easier than ever.

Volkswagen ID.4: Charging at Home Made Simple

One of the biggest advantages of owning an EV, such as the Volkswagen ID.4, is the convenience of home charging. Most EV owners charge their vehicles overnight, much like plugging in a smartphone. With a standard Level 2 home charger, the ID.4 can achieve a full charge in about 7-8 hours, which is perfect for overnight charging while you sleep. This eliminates the need for frequent stops at public stations, and means you can start every day with a full "tank."
