VW ID.3 Pure: Fastest Budget Compact In Bjørn's 1,000 Km Challenge
–>
The distance was covered in 11 hours and 5 minutes, which is marginally better than the recently tested Citroën e-C4 (11 hours and 15 minutes). The Volkswagen ID.3 Pure required 7 fast charging stops.
An interesting thing is that the ID.4 RWD with a 62 kWh battery noted a time of 10 hours and 45 minutes, which is just 20 minutes better. Not that big of a difference compared to the distance and 30% bigger battery.
According to previous tests, at 90 km/h (56 mph) the Volkswagen ID.3 Pure has range of 316 km (196 miles).
It's more proof that the bigger battery does not necessarily translate to a significant change in a very long trip, although it's important to cover daily range needs.
The ID.3 Pure averaged 90.2 km/h (56 mph) and 204 Wh/km (328 Wh/mile). The energy consumption is about 10% lower than in the case of the Citroën e-C4.
