Wow❤ liking the ID7 specs! Awesome video!
Great video
Great video and excellent efficiency. VW seem to have got their act together with this car.
Great review. 👍🏼
Thanks! 👍
Thanks Derek!
As someone who drives a lot with my work this is the first EV I'm actually interested in and excited about although I'm going to hold on until the longer range model becomes available before taking the plunge. Great honest review as always Derek 👏
The 88kWh will be a beast! I wonder will it be able to get across and back on a charge
Pretty good efficiency alright Derek, I wonder would 120km/h motorway kill it though?
@@NevoEVReviewIreland I'd really hope so, I'm based in Carrick on Shannon so it would be great to only have to charge at home on the cheapest night rate tariff and therefore be able to avoid the overpriced charging stations.
It took time, but now vw comes with fine cars, here in Denmark Ev's are taxfree but not cheap and I love this car, as usual a fine video/test. Most of all I want the dog it's beatyfull 😊
Wow that is great efficiency for such a large car Derek. It definitely was a little windy today so I would say your right as to why the return journey was less efficient.
Thanks Allan!
That’s great efficiency and great video.
Thank you!
Hi again I was asking if you have no Internet in your home but you have Internet on your phone can you charge your car that way. Will you be doing the costs to costs in the vw e up
Great to get a sense of the efficiency of the ID7 but we'll know EVs have really arrived when they are reviewed as all other cars, irrespective of source of traction power. I know where you're coming from but focusing on range just plays into the FUD
Second hand ID7 could be a great prospect. Motorway driving not a huge issue in west Cork and Kerry. VW need to follow stellantis and up the warranty though.
If VW are pricing that new ID7 at €60k they have just thrown all there other ID owner s to the wolves, my wife s GTX has plummeted from €56 k to probably 32k in 9 months, due to their discounting and poor sales, I really like the car it’s does everything and more than I expected but depreciating at over 2 k a month is disgusting
Agree but I don't think you're wife's gtx is going to be 32000euro properly about 40000euro,depreciation is very bad at the moment, keep the gtx ,because the new prices can only reduce and cost to change won't be as bad. I know as I have been in the same boat with my id4 .
Hold it for the average 3 to 4 years and the used EV market is going to come back up. The UK is already starting to turn.

Tbh I don’t think she’ll change, I was really surprised how much I enjoy the car , even the supposedly famous range anxiety isn’t an issue as more come on line , if there could be some parity between home charging costs and what the esb are charging that could be the game changer for people
Cute beagle. Darwin seems suitably nonplussed. Interesting that the ID7 gets almost the same range and efficiency as my Polestar 2 LR RWD - it sits on 490km on 90% and I also get around 16kWh/100km depending on how I drive it on the highways.
I love the drive, look and style of my P2 but the comfort and extra space of the ID7 would be nice. Shame we in Australia only get the ID4 and ID5 later this year for now.
I like the leccy idea, but a leccy car has never blasted past me on a motorway doing 125kph, I look forward to the day.
Plenty of electric vehicles can go at 125km or higher but it would be breaking the speed limit?
I honestly think the range tests should be done at the Motorway speedlimit (120kmh).......any car, be it EV, Petrol or Diesel is going to perform fantastically if pottering on motorways at 105kmh. My Diesel Superb would probably give close to 60mpg at that type of pace (also a very large car) These are going to be leased and driven by business drivers........and they (we) won't be driving them at 105kmh on the motorways.
That’s very true. I suppose a coast to coast would require a quick charge along the way. I do North Wexford to Kilkenny to Dublin and back to North Wexford at motorway speeds and require a 15min charge in Kildare. I’ve a smaller battery though.
@@pato10111 how many kms is that trip......and what are you driving??
Thanks lads, I suppose my driving style. I know Nobby on Cars has the same car this week and will drive it at 120kmh so hopefully his video will cover it. More speed means less range and I'd prefer to have more range
@@06younger The total distance is 320 kilometers. Admittedly, I tend to drive at speeds above the motorway limit. I don’t actively manage my battery range. After a 15-minute charge, I typically return with between 20% and 30% battery remaining-sometimes even more. My Polestar 2 has a standard range of 300-350 kilometers. While I might face challenges heading further west where chargers are slower, at the Kildare Ionity charging station, I always move my car out of the charging bay during my lunch break as its very fast.
@@pato10111 the recently updated Polestar 2 (RWD) single motor LR would probably be top of my EV wishlist.....and if the budget wouldn't stretch to that.....a BYD Seal.

Thinking of taking my ev to Ireland, what’s the charging situation like and cost per kw
I think it's around 74c. It's good on the East Coast but more limited in the West. Ionity only really operates in Leinster with one in Munster if I'm not mistaken.
Really interesting. I am ashamed to say I never gave a toss about MPG in ICE cars, mainly because someone else always paid for the petrol. I certainly was never quite so restrained as you in my driving style. What I think interesting about this video is not so much the actual efficiency as the fact you can do coast to coast on a single charge which is the sort of practical information most of us need. I am not sure what the public charging network is like in rural Ireland (it is pretty bad here on the Welsh borders in the UK in case you think I am being critical), but at a guess it is not like rolling up at the nearest petrol station. So for your journey range mattered.
BTW, may we see more of the hound.
If I was heading West in Ireland, I would usually plan on charging at my hotel. The thing is, if you are heading to see family, it's a different story. Certainly, if I owned an Air BNB in this day and age, I'd be installing a car charger. That would be of great benefit to EV owners.
@@pato10111
Charging overnight at low speeds and hopefully low cost is how to manage an EV. In my view you should top them up little and often. If you do have a long journey then you probably need to plan it, and if you have to use a high speed high cost charger then you may not have to do that too often for the price to matter too much.
My normal journey pattern is a radius of about fifteen miles which occasionally extends to about 40. I do a journey of more than 200 miles probably no more than four times a year. So battery size and range matters less to me than handling, weight, and capital cost - in that order. In two or three years time I think large EVs with huge batteries are going to look just like the 1950s/60s Studebaker gas guzzler we had in Madras; pretty pointless.
@@PaulMeier-cu3ds I completely agree. I do about 160km daily and a smaller battery is fine. The big batteries are literally fueled by range anxiety from the public. I think 300km is more than enough in this country anyway.
Good test Derek
I'm the same when driving on a motorway I set my cruise to 105kph. It's a nice cruise speed. 120kph is not a target and over a 300klm distance your only loosing out on 5 or 6 minutes

Exactly!
Hi just wondering do you have to have Internet for charging your car by night or any time thanks
Sorry, do you mean an app or in the car to set a charging schedule?
Yes an app sorry
Will this implode with resale value like all other Vw evs ? May as well wait a yet or two and get it for half price
The used EV market has already turned in the UK with values going back up. Ireland will follow.

Plenty of interesting info again Derek...Is Darwin a Nunez fan ?😂
ID 7 looks like a nice car but €60 to €65k .................... not worth it.
What’s the point of getting electric cars such as this when you have to factor in the weather to your travels among many other things.
Same for Petrol and Diesel
@NevoEVReviewIreland that "same for petrol and diesel" is one of the most misleading statements issued in defence of EV range issues.
I own an EV6 for over 2 years now, my first EV, and it's a really good car. I did loads of research and bought it expecting to get between 100 and 200km less than the advertised range in the real world of driving as I would any car and without having to be "eco".
The impact of speed, wind and temperature is huge and it's not comparable to dealing with range in an ICE car. On a motorway drive home from the Waterford Winterval in December the temperature dropped to 0 degrees and managing the range became a real issue. After completing the first leg of the journey we arrived in sunshine and 10 degrees with easily more than enough battery to get home.... until the range fell off a cliff with the temperature dropping to 0 on the way home. In 30 years previous to that of driving ICE cars, never have I had that experience.
EVs are fine, i don't plan to return to ICE as i can live with the compromises, but lets not pretend there aren't compromises with the tired old "same for ICE" line please Derek.
In no world were any of my previous cars so impacted by temperature.
I've 42,000km complete, and used public chargers only about 10 times, no issues with the car and I would recommend the EV6, it has met my expectations on the basis that I knew about the hidden reality and compromises of EVs before purchasing one.
It's not "same for petrol and diesel" in the real world.
@@NevoEVReviewIreland my point is that if your buying these for environmental reasons maybe your just better of getting the train.
We have an Audi Q4 etron 40 and the range is awful on a motorway, getting about 22.5kw per 100km, I’m getting rid of it in 2025 and getting a diesel again, surely going to take a huge hit on the trade in no doubt, hopefully the greens will get their comeuppance in the next election and a bit of common sence returns
Sorry to hear the Q4 isn't for you. Can I ask what speed are you travelling at on the motorway?
The price of diesel in 2025 will be interesting too
@@NevoEVReviewIreland between 120km and 130km
@@NevoEVReviewIreland don’t get me wrong, it’s brilliant fun to drive and I honestly feel that electric cars are getting there but they need to get them up to longer range and we need about 50 fast charging points at every station, cost of electricity at these points needs to be looked at also at nearly 0.70 cents a Kw it’s costing about €14-€15 per 100 km compared to on average €10 for petrol and diesel, when you factor in these cars drop like a stone in value , owning an EV is extremely expensive
