From Battery Life.
Description:
In this video, I take the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance Fire & Ice on a 600 km winter long-distance trip on the German Autobahn.
The car was charged to 100% overnight, battery preheated, and driven almost entirely on the highway at 130–140 km/h, using Ionity only for fast charging.
Navigation and charging strategy were planned with A Better Routeplanner, giving full transparency on traffic, charger availability, and arrival SoC.
🚗 Test conditions
Winter temperatures: −0.5°C to 3°C
Heating set to ~22°C
20-inch winter tyres
Autobahn cruising at 140 km/h where possible
⚡ Charging & performance highlights
Very strong DC charging performance
Two fast charging stops only
Excellent average speed including charging
Stable driver assistance at high Autobahn speeds
🔋 Charging for free with &Charge (Andcharge)
With &Charge (Andcharge), you earn charging credit by rating charging stations (amenities, accessibility, services).
In Germany and France, you can now also start charging directly in the app.
Use the link in the description to get 20 km free charging credit to start.
📊 At the end of the video, I fully analyze:
Consumption
Charging times & power
Total driving time
Average speed including charging
This is a realistic winter Autobahn test showing how well the ID.3 GTX Performance works for long-distance travel.
