Charging Cable for Volkswagen ID.3 1st
The ID.3 1st model uses a Type 2 (Mennekes) plug and supports three-phase charging with power up to 11 kW. It is recommended to use a cable with a capacity of 11 or 22 kW to ensure full compatibility and optimal charging.
Wall-mounted Charging Station (Wallbox)
For efficient charging of the Volkswagen ID.3 1st, it is recommended to use an 11 kW wallbox with a three-phase connection. A higher-capacity wallbox can also be used, but the car will charge at a maximum of 11 kW. If your installation only allows single-phase charging, you can use a lower-capacity wallbox, but the charging time will be longer.
Electrical Installation and Compatibility
To charge the Volkswagen ID.3 1st at maximum speed, a three-phase electrical installation (3x16A) is required. If you only have a single-phase connection, charging will be limited to 3.7 kW. However, you can purchase a three-phase wallbox and temporarily use it with a single phase until the installation is upgraded.
Portable Charging Station
Mobile wallbox devices (portable charging stations) allow you to charge the car from a standard household socket. This method is suitable as a backup solution, as the charging time is significantly longer due to the lower power output.
