Charging Strategy for Company Cars
Charge at home overnight on an 11 kW wallbox. A full charge takes about 7-8 hours. With 445 km range and a 60 km daily commute, most employees charge once a week. Workplace charging during office hours is a convenient top-up if available. For longer business trips, 175 kW DC fast charging adds about 200 km in 20 minutes.
Overnight AC charging (recommended)
Plugging in at a depot or home charger (7-22 kW) overnight fully replenishes the battery. At 11 kW, the Volkswagen ID.4 charges from empty in approximately 7 hours, easily done overnight.
Mid-day DC top-up
If overnight charging is not available, a DC fast charge during a break can add enough range. At 175 kW peak, the Volkswagen ID.4 charges from 10% to 80% in roughly 31 minutes.

Practical Tips
- The ID.4 has an NMC battery. Encourage employees to charge to 80% for daily use and only go to 100% before longer trips.
- Workplace charging at 11 kW during a full office day adds about 80 km, more than covering the commute home.
- The Plug & Charge feature works at an growing number of networks. It removes the need for charging cards or apps at compatible stations.
- Set up a charging policy that covers home charging reimbursement, workplace charging etiquette, and public charging expense reporting.
Operational Notes
The 445 km WLTP rated range is more than seven times the typical 60 km daily commute. Range is never a concern for company car use. The ID.4's SUV format makes it popular with employees who use it for both work and personal/family driving. The established VW service network simplifies fleet maintenance.
