EV Cables for Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance
The car uses a Mennekes (Type 2) connector and supports a maximum single-phase power of 7.2 kW. Therefore, it is necessary to use a suitable cable with a minimum rating of 7.4 kW. A 3.7 kW cable would be too weak. Both single-phase and three-phase cables can be used; while a heavier three-phase cable won’t increase charging speed, it also won’t cause any harm.
Wallbox Stations for Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance
The maximum charging power is 7.2 kW (AC), which makes a home wallbox station the best solution for everyday use. It’s important to note that more powerful wallbox units will not increase the charging speed beyond the vehicle’s limit, but they may be useful for future vehicles with higher capabilities.
Popular wallbox options:
3.7 kW wallbox (1-phase, 16A) – charges up to 3.7 kW
– 7.4 kW wallbox (1-phase, 32A) – charges up to 7.2 kW
– 11 kW wallbox (3-phase, 16A) – charges up to 3.7 kW*
– 22 kW wallbox (3-phase, 32A) – charges up to 7.2 kW*
* =limited by the vehicle’s capabilities.
Mobile Wallbox for Volkswagen ID.4 Pure Performance
With a mobile wallbox (portable charger), you can charge your car from a standard household socket. This is convenient as a backup or emergency option. Mobile wallbox devices usually operate at 2.3 or 3.7 kW. Due to the large battery capacity (52 kWh), it is recommended to use the mobile charger mainly as an additional solution rather than for daily charging.
