On a side note try not to run your battery down very often like this as it may very well degrade your battery faster and may void your batery warrenty (not likely but possible). This is for emergency use only , when the last DCFC charger was not working and you need to make it to the next Charger 5 miles up the road ., that type of situation. Also If you are considering aTesla VS a VW ID 4. consider this . Lets say after 8 year or 100,000 miles both batteries are know out of warranty . If one cell in the Tesla Battery pack goes bad you have to replace the entire battery ! So current prices 17-25k. In the VW ID 4 , the dfference is that the ID 4 the HV battery is made up of 288 battery cells across1 2 Modules so if one battery cell goes bad you dont replace the whole battery just replace the Module that contains the bad cell 1k-2K for the module
Very cool test, but still everyone should understand that this is not good for the battery. If this happens only few times, it's probably fine, but it's better not to go to low SOH regularly
Just a quick note. This test is on a 2023 VW ID 4 with the SK battery. Every EV is programmed differently . For example if I had done this with my 2017 Chevy Bolt it would have stopped in the middle of the road. The Bolt has NO bottom buffer in the battery.

I have a 2022 ID4 Pro S AWD, I would never run my battery that low, in day to day driving around town, I keep my battery in the 40-80% range, right in the middle with 20% being the low and 80% the top, I almost exclusively charge at home, sometimes on my 240 volt level 2 charger, and sometimes I only need my 120 volt 16 amp level one, I want my battery to last, running the battery down to zero is like driving an ICE car with not enough oil in the engine.
Same here, almost exclusively charging at home. Perfectly fine to run your battery between 10% - 90%; you have large buffers at the bottom and top of the battery. Zero chance of hurting your battery. That's the point of the buffer; its main job is to protect from overcharging and allows the heat to dissipate. It's why when at DCFC, your charging slows down to less than 60kW after 80% charge and goes lower. This video is about what to do in an emergency, for example, on a road trip when you are not sure you can make it to the charger, showing you exactly how much buffer is in the battery. It's kind of like when you see your gas car is on empty but it's your car and you know it's not really on empty, that there is still enough gas in the bottom of the tank to get you another 5 miles
I didn’t buy my ID4 for road trips, I know some people only have one car, but I have three, we usually take the Honda Clarity PHEV for road trips, it gets about 42 mpg at 75 mph, has a 325 mile range on gas, with a 40-45 mile EV range in reserve

It’s interesting
I'm thinking I wouldn't do that with mine, but watching you gives me hope I wouldn't really kill her in an emergency.

hey what are the app on your phone called???
Ottimo...io in id3 del 2021 fatto 80.000km ..mai arrivata sotto 8% ..ciao da parma 🇮🇪👋
never below 8% .. so you've never had range anxiety either !
Which app are you using? I just bought a 2023 id4, a month ago. Im interested in downloading this app.
Yeah, which app are you using on your phone? Thanks!
Car scanner!
Thank you!
literally "carscanner app" google play

So this in on the small battery
@@abmvt The big battery, High voltage battery
you DON'T have full power on 2%. See the blue power indication on the dashboard
That is true, I mispoke.. but I did have PLENTY of power. No issues accelerating.
