i had a go in one yesterday and i am flabbergasted... it was so good. The salesman did something with lane assist and if you were going into another lane without indicating you could feel the steering trying to pull you back. That was on the base model.

In america VW has that 3year free charging policy but they dont seem to have that here in Europe.... how comes?
There are two different systems in the ID4, Lane Assist will only prevent you from going into another Lane and is (or will be soon) a mandatory system in the EU. Travel Assist is the active function and steers actively in the middle of the Lane.
@@Psi-Storm after incentives the German and American versions are between 1-2000 euro of each other similarly equipped after incentives. Euro price includes all taxes and fees, the American price does not.
How come? In America the Obama administration really took the diesel gate fraud seriously and forced VW to commit to EVs, set up Electrify America and pay billions in fines. In Europe, the Merkel administration lobbied her ass of in Brussels to make sure VW wasn't punished. So, we Europeans can thank Obama for the ID.4 and blame Merkel for us having to pay extortion rates at Ionity...
The offhandedly comparison to the E-Tron was spot on. I am cross shopping both right now and for the ID.4 to have similar performance numbers for half the price might have swayed me more towards it. Love your videos.
Higher battery internal resistance with the lower state of charge is why the battery temperature increases at low SOC. The heat loss towards the end is also why the total range decreases faster at the end.
Are you sure? Usually internal resistance is lower at lower SoC. That's why Tesla can charge at 250 kW at low SoW. But at low SoC, voltage drops a lot. And in order to maintain the same power (kW), current needs to be higher. And heat loss is a product of resistance and the squared of current.
@@bjornnyland according to this page batteryuniversity.com/learn/archive/how_does_internal_resistance_affect_performance “The internal resistance of lithium-ion is fairly flat from empty to full charge. The battery decreases asymptotically from 270 mW at 0% to 250 mW at 70% state-of-charge. The largest changes occur between 0% and 30% SoC. “. Also batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/rising_internal_resistance “Li-ion has higher resistance at full charge and at end of discharge with a big flat low resistance area in the middle.” This resistance probably varies from one chemistry to another but I suspect it is fairly typical profile for li-ion. I also suspect that the BMS may switch to even more parallel setup at low SOC to keep available power as high as possible given that battery pack voltage is low and thus the BMS tries to compensate with making as many amps as possible, thus the more parallel setup then. But I am speculating on the latter, no idea if this BMS can do dynamic re-wiring.
OMG can't wait for the Berlin Y range test. With 4680 fat cells, it should hit 400-500 km range at 120 km/h. Just a few months to go. ^^ Also expecting under 2t, because of structural battery pack. -> Y -> Alien dreadnought.
Great work, as always. EV’s will be read for everyone when they deliver 444 km’s of range at 130/140 km/h. Most trips won’t be that long and people will stop freaking out about range and losing time charging it along the way... I just bought an Hyundai kona 2021 64kw... I’ll do, normally, trips around 200 km distance at 140/150 km/h and I hope I’lol be able to do it without the need of stopping to charge.
Or you just stop a bit more often and have shorter charging stops. In those two or three longer trips that most people do per year. It's a small offer (if any) to significantly decrease your carbon emissions.
@@dirkP38448 in some many countries the limit is 120 or 130. Driving at 130 instead of 120 doesn't even save you a lot of time in reality. If you do 500 km, that is 4h10m at 120 km/h average. It would be 3h51m at 130 km/h. So to save 19 minutes, you have to spend a lot more energy. If it is even possible to sustain that speed on average, with traffic and all.

@@janolsen9409 ruclips.net/video/pjJfaB-hnrU/видео.html in the charging part of this review there's an interview with the EV boss of Volkswagen where he pretty much says it will be updated.
8:43 hey Bjørn i have an electric skateboard with 36v system, when my charge is lo, the battery drains faster when I am cruising the same speed. That is because the voltage drops, so the battery has to work harder te maintain the same speed. It could be that lower voltage would result in faster battery drain. I know the voltage of a car is closer to 400v so it could be that it wouldn't count for cars.
@@bjornnyland Its because higher current for the same power which increases the inner resistant od battery and cables, thats what all EVs have to deal with
About the measurement of the capacity, you probably mean amp-hours times voltage, not watt-hours. As to the temperature in the pack increasing towards the end, it is probably due to the fact that the voltage of the cells, when low, decrease; as such they need to provide more current (therefore amperes) in order to provide the same power. And since heat loss is a function of the intensity squared, this could explain it.
The energy is not given as watt*hour*voltage, watt*hour is correct. I suppose what is meant here is ampere*hour*voltage, which is the same as watt*hour. since watt = ampere*volt
I guess this compares well to the Skoda Enyaq that from what i gatherd is more or less the same car under the skin. I find the Skoda more appealing looks wise so will wait for that one instead. I just wish the platform could compete better with Tesla in the charging department, but if the 170kW rumour is true then that is actually pretty good.
Yes, Enyaq has the same internals (battery, motor). It's drag coefficient is a bit lower, but it's also a bit bigger. In all it should do even better at higher speeds. You can order it already but waiting times are long...
@@bilgyno1 Ah yes like I thought then, but in my country so far only the RWD version is available and I want the AWD one. That is also why I care alot about the charging speed..
@@bjornnyland it was misreading on battery state of health and showing less capacity. Also, the energy screen in the car was showing the wrong numbers. Also, unrelated to the fixes - ZE50 is now in CanZE app so you can check the stats there. I think it wasn't added to that app yet when you tested first time.
Your theory is probably right that these cars show SoC based on capacity, not energy. That is the way SoC is defined in battery science, but of course not the info you want in a car. If my car has a 400 km range, I want it to display 50% at 200 km, not at 215 km.
One thing that I am curious about is the charging efficiency? Or to put it differently how much energy is needed from the grid to recharge the battery back to 100% SoC compared to what is used for the driving. I assume that some cars especially those that only have AC charge capability are rather bad in this aspect. Or is that already in your calculations?
How much it cost in your country to fully charge ID4 from 0 to full in a public charger? How much it cost to fully charge TESLA Model Y in your country from 0 to full in a public charger?
Which one is noisier model 3 or ID.4? My model 3 has many rattles and terrible road noise. Very disappointed, thought of getting rid of it and buy the ID.4. I don't care if the digital part is not as advanced as Tesla. My main priority is comfort.
There seems to be a mistake in your spreadsheet. The "75 % range" (and dependent values) are off. It seems like you calculated 65% instead. Please change this.
The German channel Nextmove did such a test (high trailer and flat trailer) with the ID.4 in winter conditions. It was actually pretty good! Look it up!

@@bjornnyland is this the difference between the 82 kWh gross, 77 kWh Net ? One would assume 100% on the gauge is 77 kWh, although some tests have shown that Volkswagen can drive for many more km past 0% SOC. So could be a safety measure.

As to the temperature in the pack increasing towards the end, it is probably due to the fact that the voltage of the cells, when low, decrease; as such they need to provide more current (therefore amperes) in order to provide the same power. And since heat loss is a function of the intensity squared, this could explain it.
Yes, my bad.
They did a good job of making the car look like a modern current auto and not one of those "car of the future" designs
Perfekt Bjørn!!
Your Google Sheet i perfekt.
Yes it is a German wepon,, dates back til ww1.
Hej Bjørn,
Love your channel - thank you for great content!!!
6:03 Polestar 2 casually driving past.
Low internal resistant might come up with more leakage discharge when park. Should be tested also.
There are some tests already, and the ID.4 basically has negligible losses when parked for days.
Wow excellent work 👍🏽👍🏽
Wh is already the actual energy. volt times amps would be watts.
The energy is not given as watt*hour*voltage, watt*hour is correct. I suppose what is meant here is ampere*hour*voltage, which is the same as watt*hour. since watt = ampere*volt
As always good work dude!,,,
Every time I see
Bjørn eating I get food cravings... :)
Dried Mangos are the cure to being “so fed up with Winter”🤒
Not as efficient like my Tesla model Y Lr, but this result are impressive. I will recommended this car for anybody who don’t want Tesla for sure.
indeed... good car and built quality for the money !
I was waiting for this one
This man is like a electric cars guru haha
Impressive 16.1kWg/100km consumption seems as good as Kona on Motorway, but Kona achieving it @ 120kph
Björn, at 9:20 did you mean Wh = Ah * V, and so that you think that VW and the Korean cars estimate SoC based on counting Ah ?
I guess this compares well to the Skoda Enyaq that from what i gatherd is more or less the same car under the skin. I find the Skoda more appealing looks wise so will wait for that one instead. I just wish the platform could compete better with Tesla in the charging department, but if the 170kW rumour is true then that is actually pretty good.
Yes, Enyaq has the same internals (battery, motor). It's drag coefficient is a bit lower, but it's also a bit bigger. In all it should do even better at higher speeds. You can order it already but waiting times are long...
@@bilgyno1 Ah yes like I thought then, but in my country so far only the RWD version is available and I want the AWD one. That is also why I care alot about the charging speed..
Just remember, the Skoda is more expensive then the ID4.
@@janolsen9409 Not specc for specc as far as I have seen. The ID4 has a lower specc version though with the larger battery which makes it cheaper.
You need to test the new Zoe since it’s got new BMS updates
What's new? Charging curve? Increased battery capacity?
@@bjornnyland it was misreading on battery state of health and showing less capacity. Also, the energy screen in the car was showing the wrong numbers.
Also, unrelated to the fixes - ZE50 is now in CanZE app so you can check the stats there. I think it wasn't added to that app yet when you tested first time.
Great content. Thank you!
Bjorn, could you do an update on the "used EV" guide?
Not yet. I have done one not long time ago. Check out my channel.
Nice spreadsheet comparison. However, it would be nice if Teslas were on the list too.
9:46 What a beuatiful cloud!
looks like more energy hungry then Tesla 70D..., overall strong competitor against Tesla model Y
Your theory is probably right that these cars show SoC based on capacity, not energy.
That is the way SoC is defined in battery science, but of course not the info you want in a car.
If my car has a 400 km range, I want it to display 50% at 200 km, not at 215 km.
What kind of OBD Dongle do you use for your android phone? Can you use the same Dongle for most cars?
Check video description.
Björn any idea for OBD dongle for iPhone?
12:25 when you watch not only driving experience, but fastfood cuisine experience :D
thank you
Don't you mean that they count Ah? And because of decreasing voltage the Wh you actually get at lower SoC is less than at high SoC?
One thing that I am curious about is the charging efficiency? Or to put it differently how much energy is needed from the grid to recharge the battery back to 100% SoC compared to what is used for the driving. I assume that some cars especially those that only have AC charge capability are rather bad in this aspect. Or is that already in your calculations?

How much it cost in your country to fully charge ID4 from 0 to full in a public charger?
How much it cost to fully charge TESLA Model Y in your country from 0 to full in a public charger?
Good range !!!!!
So the big question, which one would you have between this one and the Tesla MY?
Model Y
Hi Björn, did you document the SW Version?
Is it 2.0 (0783/0784) or 2.1 (0792)?
It has 2.1
Impressive!
Do you compensate for the electric lights while driving the high speed test?
Which one is noisier model 3 or ID.4? My model 3 has many rattles and terrible road noise. Very disappointed, thought of getting rid of it and buy the ID.4. I don't care if the digital part is not as advanced as Tesla. My main priority is comfort.
Check out upcoming noise tests for ID4 and check existing noise tests for Model 3/ID3.
I'm imagining how much efficient if it uses 215/55 18
The 19inch comes standard in Norway do you think it’s worth getting the bigger wheels? Much love from Bergen ☔️
No
@@bjornnyland thanks bjørn
There seems to be a mistake in your spreadsheet. The "75 % range" (and dependent values) are off. It seems like you calculated 65% instead. Please change this.
It's not a mistake. Watch this video:

Bjorn quotes* "If you don't steer, you end up in the ditch" :D
ID 4 The Win
Volkswagen just nailed it with their cars. the ID cars are really competitive with tesla.
and better price tag !
Great informative video as always! I'd like to have your opinion on the dual motor / AWD version of the ID4 when it becomes available.
Bjørn, will you do a rang test whit big trailer/caravan also?
Probably not.
The German channel Nextmove did such a test (high trailer and flat trailer) with the ID.4 in winter conditions. It was actually pretty good! Look it up!
I have now seen the nextmowe video... I dont like the way that they compeare numbers. To bad you dont plan to test it Bjørn, your test is more one to one, so you actualy use the data.
News entertainment and more. Consider yourself promoted
Really, Voltswagon? No tyre-pressure monitoring system in 2021, unless you pay for it? WTF?
Hi, i like your content! How about Skoda Enyaq? Willl you test it?
Yes
Når kommer test av IX3? Godt å se deg på beina igjen Bjørn!
Not bad, Volkswagen. Will be interesting to see when you get your hands on a Model Y.
Model Y is the king of ev suv so far
@@jsd4979 and will remain king with the new cells and new body structure. Lighter car, will be more efficient and with the new cells it’ll charge really quickly.
@@harsimranbansal5355 It will be beyond awesome, just a few months to go. Wooohooo.
But I think the ID. 4 will win the hearts of the people.
Also ionic 5 or Kia ev6
Always nice to be overtaken by a audi etron 💪🏻
Happy to find bjorn again
I've noticed that this guy ALWAYS gets higher mileage than people here in the US. Do they use British style miles?
No. We use something called "kilometer".
@@bjornnyland Strange, ALL 70 mph test over here, get 230ish.
Hey Björn
Thanks for the video. Is 100% in this car the same as 100% in the Tesla? I know in the Tesla there is no buffer when charging to 100%.
100 % on this car's display is 96 %.
@@bjornnyland is this the difference between the 82 kWh gross, 77 kWh Net ?
One would assume 100% on the gauge is 77 kWh, although some tests have shown that Volkswagen can drive for many more km past 0% SOC. So could be a safety measure.
Does this ID.4 have a heat pump?
Heat pump is standard in Norway.
@@bjornnyland I live on the west coast of Canada and it will be standard in Canada as well. In the USA the ID.4 will not have a heat pump as I have been told.
Here in germany ist is optional
Hi Bjorn, could you tell my what phone holder do you have? Thank you.
