Driving the brand new all-electric ID.7 Professional S¹, Volkswagen Crew Switzerland, headed by mission lead Felix Egolf, an skilled in long-distance driving with electrical vehicles, efficiently coated a complete of 794 kilometres (493 miles) with a single battery cost in a web driving time of 15 hours and 42 minutes. This considerably exceeded the examined mannequin’s most WLTP vary (mixed) of as much as 709 kilometres (440 miles). The snug touring saloon was pushed on public roads and in regular visitors circulate all through your entire daytime journey.

• Most WLTP vary of as much as 709 km² considerably exceeded
• The car was pushed throughout the day on an outlined route in precise visitors, which included each principal through-roads and motorway sections
• ID.7 Professional S with 86-kWh battery³ (web) is designed for the best attainable effectivity and is among the electrical autos with the best vary in its class

The car was pushed on an roughly 81-kilometre circuit within the Zug metropolitan space south of Zurich.

The route profile was in keeping with on a regular basis driving and included principal through-roads, motorway sections and nation roads with hilly transitions. Eight completely different drivers coated a complete of 794 kilometres in two consecutive days on only one battery cost. That is roughly equal to the route from Basel to Emden in northern Germany, the place the ID.7 is constructed. The common consumption was an exceptionally low 10.3 kWh/100 km. Compared, the bottom WLTP worth of the mannequin is 13.6. Transformed to diesel, the typical consumption achieved corresponds to solely about 1.1 litres per 100 km.

The vary of 794 km was pushed throughout the day in regular visitors circulate in the midst of final week — with a mean pace of 51 km/h. The remaining vary displayed was two kilometres. One other attention-grabbing element: the mannequin pushed was not probably the most range- beneficial tools variant of the ID.7 Professional S. In keeping with WLTP calculations, the car, which options elective tools such because the Consolation bundle, IQ.DRIVE help methods bundle, Plus exterior bundle and a warmth pump, would have reached a WLTP vary of 700 km⁴.

Driving so far as attainable with as little consumption as attainable. Extraordinarily energy- environment friendly driving is Felix Egolf’s area of experience; he’s a so-called hypermiler. In 2020 and 2021, the Swiss driver accomplished two record-breaking drives within the ID.3: as soon as, he considerably exceeded the theoretical vary of the ID.3^1st from Zwickau in Saxony (Germany) to Schaffhausen (Switzerland) by masking 531 km. Within the second file try with a bigger battery, the ID.3 Professional S⁵ managed a complete of 602 km on a single cost — throughout 15 Alpine passes and with 13,000 metres of altitude.

ID.7 Professional S — effectivity champion within the mannequin sequence. Because of its new effectivity drive and glorious aerodynamics (drag coefficient of 0.23 relying on tools), the ID.7 Professional S is economical on the highway. Relying on elective tools, a mixed WLTP consumption of 16.2 to 13.6 kWh/100 km was decided for the ID.7 Professional S. With probably the most range-favourable tools, the WLTP vary is as much as 709 km. The charging occasions are brief: In 10 minutes — the time wanted for a espresso break — power for approx. 244 km flows into the battery at 200 kW⁶ charging energy; in about 26 minutes it’s charged once more from 10 to 80 per cent.

The elective Electrical Car Route Planner within the ID.7 can also be useful — this calculates an optimum route considering the present battery cost and the accessible charging stations alongside the route. It exhibits the driving force the most effective charging factors and plans the required charging stops to make the journey environment friendly. It additionally takes real- time visitors information into consideration to seek out the quickest and most handy route.

¹⁾ ID.7 Professional S — Mixed energy consumption 16.2-13.6 kWh/100 km; mixed CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class: A

²⁾ Vary decided on the rolling highway check mattress in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonized Mild Automobiles Take a look at Process (WLTP) in probably the most range-favourable tools variant. The precise WLTP vary values could differ relying on the tools. The precise vary achieved underneath actual circumstances varies relying on the driving model, pace, use of consolation options or auxiliary tools, exterior temperature, variety of passengers/load, topography and the ageing and put on technique of the battery

³⁾ The said web battery power content material is a typical battery worth, whatever the car. It’s decided with a continuing load profile underneath outlined boundary circumstances and takes into consideration the complete vary of battery power content material that can be utilized within the car till the car involves a standstill. The precise discharge power could differ from this as a result of it will depend on the precise driving profile and the battery temperature. The homologated vary specification in accordance with the WLTP laws corresponds to the usable discharge power for a brand new car.

⁴⁾ ID.7 Professional S with tools — Mixed energy consumption 13.8 kWh/100 km; mixed CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class: A

⁵⁾ ID.3 Professional S — Mixed energy consumption 16.4–15.6 kWh/100 km; mixed CO₂ emissions 0 g/km; CO₂ class: A

⁶⁾ Most attainable charging energy. Totally different charging stations can differ of their charging behaviour for a similar kW output. Along with the kW output of the charging station, the utmost charging present additionally has an affect on the quantity of power flowing. Moreover, the ambient and battery temperature in addition to the state of cost affect the utmost attainable charging energy. The required most charging energy is decided underneath WLTP circumstances at a temperature of approx. 23° C and a state of cost of 5 per cent or extra. If these variables change, the charging energy may deviate from the usual specification.
