VW ID.3

08-05-2022 06:35PM

The id3 is pretty efficient, the last charge to 80% I drove 193 Kms on 20% battery. All non motorway. Average 14 kWh/100kms. This is the tour 5 77 kWh.

Average since new last October is 17.5 kWh/100 Kms mostly motorway mileage over 23,000 Kms at motorway speeds where possible and sometimes above .

@[Deleted User] Hm, are you sure about the numbers? 14x1.93/0.2 ≈ 135kWh. Double your battery size.

Rusky rusky · 08-05-2022 08:55PM

My numbers today from travelling around cork. 50% battery used, 199km, 3h 54 min, 51kmh av, 12.4kWh/100km. Don't trust the consumption numbers:)

Does anyone find the infotainment system getting slower to boot, mine is 2 months old and Ive noticed slow down. Also its coloured blue, then takes about 5 sec to remember I have it set to green,

It is only an average per Kwh over 193 Kms.

Kwh/100 kms is a bit of a useless measurement, you'd think being electric that we could find out exactly how many Kwh pulled from the battery over xxx Kms ? no , guess to VW we're too dumb to know what that means........

193 Kms over 20% is pretty good in my opinion even if it is off the motorway.

Out of curiosity why don't people like kWh/100km? How does it differ to L/100km?

ted1 · 09-05-2022 08:32AM

Because it’s very variable.

city driving v motorway.

193km using 20% would give you a range of 965km on a full charge. That would be about 8 kWh/100km

That would be great but you definitely have that wrong

DrPhilG · 09-05-2022 12:23PM

Yeah I drove Donegal to Belfast and back on Saturday. Only about a 3rd is motorway, if even that.

Left home with 93%, got home 290km later with 26%. 77kWh car, same as Mad Lad.

193 km on 20% is not possible. That's over 9km per 1%. Best I have gotten is 4km per 1% with an average of 3km per 1%. 58kwh ID.3

Rusky rusky · 09-05-2022 01:38PM

Dunno, maybe 77kWh less prone to battery degradation. After 1.5y I'm sure I lost quite a few % of soc on the 58kWh. I'm going to do Cork Dublin cork next weeks so will see how I will fair. Def will need a charge on the way.

09-05-2022 01:49PM

OOOPS, yeah I made a boo boo, was over 40% not 20. I took a pic and checked a min ago, I had charged to 80% and got down to 40% after 193 Kms, the 20% in my head was coming from the 80-100.

Anyway, not bad 193 Kms on 40%. non motorway driving.

This morning I had the misfortune of having to return to work and the Gom said 400 kms on 80% not long after hitting the M9 did it say 350 😁

Suppose range is something I don't think about much these days.

It would be highly unlikely in my opinion that you would notice 5-10% range loss, there could be any amount of variables causing this.

Only way to know is to run to empty and charge up to 100% and record the Kwh sent to the car and subtract around 10% due to charging inefficiencies. And the battery would have to be up around 20 Deg C to be able to store full Kwh and when you do your test it would need to be at the same battery temp.

robbie_63 · 09-05-2022 03:05PM

Hi Folks,

What general range are you getting on the 58kw ID3?

Wife has the 52KW ID4 and only getting around 300-320km at full charge, fine for her as its mainly around town driving.

The few times I brought it to work (50km each way, Normal A Roads) the consumption seemed very high even with nothing on, and in B Mode.

From what I can see I would barely get 2 days driving out of the ID4 so just wondering if the ID3 is much better.

Cheers

VWPAT · 09-05-2022 04:11PM

Driving my ID life 58kw i'm getting 7 km per kw. Non motorway driving and keeping speed limit. Charged this morning to 80% anf gom shows 340. Interesting videos with Bjorn Niland checking degradation on 6 and 7yr old egolf . 6yr old 6.5% and 7 15%. Both charged to 100 most of time and having passive air cooling.

B mode is counter productive on national routes.

It was always dead slow to boot after the car was standing for a while. Happens every morning, on a bad day a light blue colour also appears:)

On my 1.5 yo 30k km ID.3 I currently get an estimate of about 330km @ 80% and over last few weekends with good weather I was able to drive up 200km on 50-55% battery, mainly driving on national and local roads around Cork. Town driving in cork is not very efficient, effing hills everywhere.

I only drive in B mode and with auto hold off in slow traffic. Everywhere else in D mode with eco acc or whatever it called.

Really? when I drive the ID4 I tend to have it in B mode the entire time as its so much easier to drive with one pedal.

sk8board · 10-05-2022 08:28AM

Now that we’re into better weather, how are people finding the difference in consumption between the crappiest coldest days of last winter versus the past fortnight?

VWPAT · 10-05-2022 09:19AM

Personally i find a 25% improvement in summer weather.

eagerv · 10-05-2022 09:32AM

Don't have an ID.3 anymore, but I worked on 4km per % in warmer weather and 3km per % in colder weather. Mine was the 58kWh and very little of my driving was on motorways.

jogdish · 10-05-2022 02:19PM

So woke up at 4am to my ID.3 car alarm going off (family edt), thankfully nothing wrong and no one around so a false alarm, but kinda scratching my head as to what set it off. My security camera shows no one in/around the driveway - I know it was raining and maybe windy, cats might have been around too. Other than that the only slighty not normal thing was my panaramic roof was off so maybe the internal 'saw' some reflection from the glass there?

Basically grasping here, anyone a samilar experience? I read in the manual the 12v being low can cause this, my battery is at 45% it's been sat in the drive dooing nothing for about 3/4 days, before than a nip around town and back.

Comer1 · 10-05-2022 02:42PM

58kWh ID.3. In the summer, driving like Miss daisy, I calculate I could get 4km per percent so 400km range

Driving at the speed limit on 100kph and 80kph roads, 3.5km per percent

Driving hard and on motorways, 3km per percent.

Here's the kicker, you could take up to 100km off each of those for the cold winter months!

Also, I drive in B mode all the time. makes no noticeable difference to range but easier driving having to use the brake so little, I find the brakes a bit weak in D mode and I suppose it saves the brake pads too.

Happened us a few weeks ago too. Thought it was the fire alarm in the house initially! Not sure what set it off here either but cats are regular visitors.

93 kms on 20 percent would be 465 kms which sounds much more likely.

With 193 kms being a typo

this exact thing has happened us maybe 5 or 6 times in the past 14months. Calm day, no cars or anything, nothing on the car seats etc - it just decides to go off.

sometimes we don’t even hear it outside the window for those first few seconds, until we get the app alert and look out.

It happens 3 or 4 times in the first couple of months I had the car but not since. No idea what caused it but I read somewhere that it might be to do with the key fob being in range of the car (?)

KCross · 10-05-2022 05:21PM

my battery is at 45% it's been sat in the drive dooing nothing for about 3/4 days, before than a nip around town and back.

Id be checking the 12V if the alarm is going off for no reason. It could be triggering because it sees the 12V going low and interpreting that as someone trying to disable the car.

Having the car idle for a few days can also cause it to go low. Charging the HV battery will charge the 12V too so that’s worth doing.

If it’s not the 12V and it keeps happening, it’s time to call the dealer.
