Vehicle Charging
Before you charge your vehicle:
1.
Unlock the ID.4.
2.
Press on the left side of the charging flap to open.
AC Charging
Charging Station or Wall Box
AC (alternating current) charging can be done at a charging
station or wall box (recommended) which offers higher AC
power than a standard outlet. The maximum achievable
charging power your vehicle can accept determines you power level, which results from the charging station used,
the charging cable used and the equipment of the battery charger, up to 11 kW.
Household 110V Outlet
The ID.4 is equipped with a 110V charging cable and can be charged using your household's 110V electrical outlet.
The electrical system must be checked and must be working correctly to ensure proper charging. Due to the cable's
low power delivery, plenty of charging time should be scheduled, otherwise the cable can be used for a top off
overnight.
Connecting the Charging Cable
1.
Connect the charging cable to the power supply after
fully unwinding the charging cable. If charging at home,
the protective device will carry out a self-test.
2.
Ensure the charging connector is properly aligned and
insert it into the charging socket.
•
The LED light on the charging socket flashes or briefly
flashes white.
3.
The vehicle immediately starts charging up to the
maximum battery charge level or according to the
charging settings.
•
The charging station may have to be enabled.
DC Fast Charging
DC (direct current) charging can be performed at a public
charging station where it is charged with a very high
charging power (up to 125 kW). This significantly reduces
the charging time.
1.
Remove the protective cap and stick it on the hanger.
2.
Insert the charging station connector into the charging socket.
•
The LED light (charging process indicator) on the charging socket flashes or briefly flashes white.
3.
Activate the charge via mobile app, charger screen, or other instructions on the charger.
4.
The charge starts immediately.
NOTICE: A very high charging power is used for fast-charging with direct current (DC). Frequent fast-charging can permanently reduce the battery capacity of the high-voltage battery.
Charge the high-voltage battery mainly with alternating current (AC) at a charging station or wall box.
During Charging
•
When the charging process is operating normally, the display on the charging socket pulses green.
•
There is a fault if the red charging process indicator comes on.
After Charging
When the desired level of charge is reached, the charging process indicator on the charging socket turns green.
Removing the charging connector:
1.
Unlock the vehicle.
2.
Press the release button on the charging connector and remove the charging connector.
OR
1.
If “Automatically release connector” is activated in the charging settings, the charging connector is automatically
unlocked after the charging process.
2.
Disconnect the charging cable from the power supply and replace the protective cap.
3.
Close the charging socket flap until it audibly engages.

Scheduled Charging via the Infotainment
System
Charge scheduling can be used to limit when the ID.4 charges
in order to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates (if you
are enrolled in a plan from your electrical utility that offers
variable rates), or to ensure the ID.4 is freshly charged for a
planned journey.
To set up a charging schedule:
1.
Save a charger location by opening the Vehicle Settings
menu, then the location pin in the left column.
2.
Tap “Add current position as a charging location” and enter
a name for the location.
3.
Tap one of the timer icons to open the scheduling menu.
4.
Tap the
>
icon on one of the timer options.
5.
Set the desired departure time and select the days of the week for this departure.
To enable, check the box next to the desired departure time.
You can also set the Climatronic system to have the cabin pre-conditioned for the departure. Heating the cabin in cold
weather also warms the battery for better performance.
To set the desired temperature:
1.
Press the Home button.
2.

5.
Enable “Include climate control” in your charge schedule.
