The other day we could hear about an electric car owner in Mullsjö who was disappointed that his Volkswagen ID4 did not go as far as it was marketed. 50 miles was said, but it only went just over 25 miles. But what is actually being marketed? Well, it's something called WLTP and is a driving cycle where the car is driven as far as Swedish motorways and at constant high speeds. But the fact that it would only go 25 miles sounds a bit bad regardless. I get behind the wheel and drive the same journey - Stockholm - Mullsjö - to see what an ID4 pulls at different speeds that way. 00:00 – Mullsjö municipality 00:31 – Disappointed ID4 owner 02:13 – How far does the Volkswagen ID4 go 03:37 – Consumption and range ID4 at 100 km/h 04:25 – Consumption and range ID4 at 110 km/h 05 :00 – Consumption and range ID4 at 120 km/h 05:15 – Three things that make electric cars reduce the range 08:40 – Find the right charger 16:17 – Plan your journey 17:00 – Why electric cars will win over fossil cars
