Increased consumption in winter with a Volkswagen ID3 electric car.

Model: Volkswagen Id 3 MK 1 - Years 2019-2026
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we discover something interesting about electric cars and winter: low temperatures do not negatively affect the lithium battery of the Volkswagen ID3, and the vehicle starts without issues. Charging time does not significantly increase compared to summer or milder temperatures. However, consumption does increase on short distances, which is likely due to the heat pump generating warmth inside the vehicle. The increase in consumption is not as significant for longer journeys, as the vehicle has already warmed up during the initial miles.
