Should you buy a Volkswagen ID.3?

The Volkswagen ID.3 is in terms of pricing similar to the Volkswagen Golf. Both cost near 35.000 euro for a new stock car. So why would you buy the Volkswagen ID.3 over the very popular Golf?

The Golf is known to be an excellent option for a reliable and affordable car. The Golf is developed with a thought for durability and excellent quality. It is the perfect car for those that only prioritise commuting safely and reliably from point A to B.

The ID.3 however, is indeed the electric variant that should be the same car on paper, but with all the electric pros and cons.

Let’s point out all the positive aspects of an electric ID.3. It is less prone to mechanical failures because of much less moving components. Due to being electric powered, there’s no traditional combustion engine that has a lot of moving parts. Engines in combination with a gearbox become weak over time and that is a completely natural occurrence. An engine also needs more maintenance in a shorter interval compared to an electric motor. With an electric ID.3, you have the motor in combination with the single gear drivetrain. The battery is a solid component that has no moving parts. An electric car has fewer than 150 moving parts, including windows, controls, suspension, and doors. The typical combustion engine powered car has about 10.000 moving parts.

As a result, an electric car also costs less to service. Less moving parts are required to be inspected, serviced or replaced.

Government are in huge favour for electrification. They are pushing for an eco-friendlier transport method that will result in cleaner air for its population. To increase the sales of electric cars, governments charge no taxes for the registration of the car and for the annual road tax. You essentially owe nothing to the government for owning an electric car. Of course, this will change once plenty of electric cars are on the road.

With an electric car, you don’t need to find a petrol station before, after or during your commute. Chances are high that you always leave with a full charge from home, or from work. With the endless opportunities to charge locally, you don’t need to drive and find a station to charge. The only moment you will need to charge on public will be when you are travelling more than 300km in a day, which is a rare occasion.

Because of the practicality to charge at home or at work, you will only pay around 4€/100km because of the lower electricity costs compared to fuel. Fast charging however is more expensive to traditional fuel.

This brings us to the negative side of an electric car. Charging could end up to be more costly if you don’t have a charging facility at home, work or both. The cost of charging in public can rise to 12€/100km which is an absurd amount. If you travel 30.000km on yearly basis and charge 50% of time in public. That’s a total energy cost of nearly 2.000€.

Electric car are totally not practical to charge. People that fuel up cars are already impatient to see a car in front of them filling up on a fuel station. Imagine if you need to wait 30 mins for cars charging up and you have nowhere to go because of limited range. Electric isn’t practical for long driving and needs a lot of planning to make sure you don’t end up in a disastrous scenario.

In summary, you should buy the ID.3 over the Golf if you do not travel long distances daily. It is less expensive to service, does not cost you anything on road taxes and the charging facility at home is cheaper. Don’t buy the ID.3 if you travel long distances, as the charging concept is not practical if you don’t plan your journeys ahead in time.

Is the Volkswagen ID.3 a good car?

The Volkswagen ID.3 has 3 different battery sizes: 45kWh, 58kWh and 77kWh.

The ID.3 45kWh has a total range of 350km.
The ID.3 58kWh has a total range of 420km.
The ID.3 77kWh has a total range of 550km.

The range on the ID.3 is one of the best available on the market today. Especially the 77kWh with easily 500km in a single charge will be enough for many. That’s a trip from Brussels to Paris and back with a 20min charge in between. Easily doable.

The higher the range becomes of the ID.3, the lesser its major negative side of range practicality becomes. It really is a good car if you pick the larger battery pack. With the limited 350km, you will feel a lot of range anxiety. Especially if you do not have the facility to charge at home.

With the larger battery pack, you eliminate a lot of fear. But you do pay more than 40.000 euro for a 77kWh Volkswagen ID.3 stock car. While a well optioned Golf will cost you 5.000 euro less. Then the price difference equals to the savings you will make by driving electric.

The best option you should go for is the Volkswagen ID.3 with a 58kWh battery. The 420km is sufficient for daily use and is manageable on long planned journeys. With the price of around 35.000 euro for the 58kWh battery, you are on par with an entry-level Golf. The total cost of ownership will be much less compared to the Golf.

Is the ID.3 fast?

It might the fastest car you have ever driven. Your traditional Diesel or Petrol powered Golf will accelerate to 100km/h in more or less 10 seconds. The slowest ID.3 with the 45kWh battery will accelerate to 100km/h in just under 9 seconds. The fastest ID.3 with the 77kWh battery will accelerate in just 6.6 seconds. This is as fast to an Abarth 595 Competizione or Ford Fiesta ST. However, after 60mph the small hatchbacks will accelerate faster, because the ID.3 is limited to a top speed of 160km/h.
