Yeah in the 1000 km test it consumed 258 Wh/km at 3 degrees C, the ID.5 was at 252 Wh/km but it was 12 degrees C. At a more comparable 5 degrees C the Model S plaid consumed 252 Wh/km but this car takes another banana box. Still, a Model Y (RWD, blade battery) consumed 224 Wh/km at 4 degrees C and has more space.
8:51 This page information is amazing! That is exactly what I want. INFORMATION. You know exactly what is your charging situation and you have possibility to do something with it.
100% agree - but having only 39kw "rapid charging" that can be heated to 79kw if you pre-heat for 7 weeks, er I mean 47 damn minutes, is completely unacceptable. I want ability over information - but I want information too. I hate it in my Tesla Model 3 that I cannot manually pre-heat for instance. Not only is there no info from it - I cannot do it. I must "fake" it to go to a charger in the navigation etc. So stupid. We never use Teslas chargers, as we have "Clever"-charging. And the "you cannot make it" instead of "you will miss 2% if you attempt this route" - info is HORRIBLE.
It is! I don’t get why other car manufacturers put a lot more effort into animation charging than telling you things like battery temperature-and to have your max charge rate explicitly displayed is even more tangible. Now all we need is diagnostics when the car and charge refuse to work together.
the new vw infotainment looks really good. and the feature that you can actually choose if you would like to preheat and know the consequence - just awsome. this must be a market leading implementation of preheating.

In my opinion, the uncontrolled heat loss of the battery could be mitigated by better thermal insulation to facilitate the fastest possible charging rate at the lowest use of electricity. The battery cooling system could be enhanced to allow optimal battery temperatures during hot periods.
31:05 Tesla urgently has to improve the dock for the charging plug on the V4 Superchargers. The thick V4 cables are too heavy. Tesla needs to prevent the plugs from falling out of the dock in the V4 stalls. Tesla already announced they are working on the necessary improvement.
The VW ID.7 really is a great car, it just ticks all the boxes and has no real weak point. The bigger battery surely would have made it without a charging stop. Peugeot e-3008 with the big battery option might be the first (compact) SUV to complete this trip without a stop, could be interesting to test it. Unfortunately it won't be available before the summer, so it could be a contender for the next winter.
At that price point it should tick a lot of boxes. Also the infotainment really is not in the same league as the rest of the car (as Bjorn clearly shows as well). Still much better offering than the id3 though

i would abuse the “precharge heating” function to have my battery at close to 30 in the garage. This would benefit me in range and chargespeeds down the road during my first trip. Starting @ 10C is not bad but starting around 20+C should do wonders. Summer range in the winter 😊

@@bjornnyland Do you believe battery heating to keep the battery at 10 °C could be a useful option or is it wasted energy?

@@bjornnylandeven if plugged in and a departure time set? I’m actually getting really into tracking battery temp over winter -I now think it’s a complete failing of car battery and charge displays to not show this. More effort has been put into animations of electricity going into the car than a number in the corner saying “current battery temperature”. I can see it as a passenger in ABRP and an OBDII Bluetooth dongle - but that’s complicated. Does at least shown that when my wife drives down the M4 motorway on an 11C day, our battery can get up to 21C after 30 minutes, so matches interior temp. Preheating then only adds 4C as we get near the charge point. Going across London though, only 16C after 45 min. Clearly urban driving isn’t generating much heat in the engine or battery and our car (BMW) is prioritising cabin temp over battery
I am having difficulty in finding any real faults with the ID7 Pro, but is the ID.7 Pro S with the larger battery available in Norway for review? In Canada that extra range would be handy for our big country!
Pretty good at such low temperatures. VW have finally produced a good quality EV…, and seems to have improved a lot on the software… just a few glitches and functionality
I think that it will be fair not to preheat the car using some heating devices inside the garage. The average person will just jump to the car and off we go. Then we can talk about proper energy consumption from cold to warm batteries. That's just my thoughts. I watch almost all your videos. Great work.

The fine for that is 500€.
@@lukasweishaupt2708 1 - You say that Tesla should change the chargers that were designed and installed up to 12 years ago at the time when VW released its latest and greatest diesel engine. There are 50.000 Tesla chargers do you expect those to be changed so that they fit the German car that was designed last week? 2 - When I plug in the charging cable into my car which has the charging port on the left hand side it barely sticks out more than my mirror. Do people get 500 EUR fine in Germany for leaving the mirror unfolded because they are considered as obstructions? 3 - EVs were designed to be charged at home, work, at shops or with Superchargers on the road. What you describe is a very special scenario when someone has no access to home and work charging and doesn't want to use Superchargers or chargers at shops and lives nearby a public curb-side charger. I don't think that most EV buyers fall into this category.
The powerlimit was caused by the cold batteries, because cold batteries can't deliver all their power. Just like it's always at the start of the winter when old and cold 12v batteries fail at starting ICE cars. And reversedly, EV batteries can be charged fastest when they are warm, hence the preheating before fast-charging.
For comparison, Ioniq 6 was 20 minutes faster (9h30m compared to 9h50m ID.7) on 1000km challenge, but at 4°C more and, which matters more, dry roads. Winter tires for both, but aero rims on the Ioniq 6. Nominal battery size is the same. Consumption was 230Wh/km for Ioniq 6 and 258 Wh/km for ID.7.
Am I the only one who gets scared when an BEV talks about „Ignition“ in its screen? 😈 Would it make sense to include the new Scenic in this test? It is likely going to be less efficient, but claims 87kWh usable battery size, which is more than this.
@@drfisheye But AFAIK it should have quite a long range, so the number of times one needs to charge in the middle of journey might be small. And it's a lot cheaper, at least in my country. I'm not surprised French cars charge slowly. French are famous for how long their lunches and other meals take, so they have the time 😇. Nevertheless, I've seen some graphs of a charging curve where it held almost 150kW up until some 50% of battery. That might be lower than ID.7, but it's not terrible either.
@@michalvaner3167 it's cheaper yes. In terms of charging according to the EV Database: charging from 10 to 80% would take 40 minutes and gets you 333km range. The ID.7 would take 28 minutes, giving 331km range. Not saying the Renault is bad in this regard, but not as good as the ID.7. It's not as efficient and charges much slower. I don't drive 1000km in one day in my holidays so the Renault would probably work fine for me.
The ID7 is a good step in the right direction and a very nice car to drive, but the overall package is "only" a good average. It doesn't have any major weaknesses, but it doesn't set any new benchmarks either - the competition has certainly made greater progress here or still ahead. BEV market leader in 2025, as was once announced, will still not be possible. But as a company vehicle alone, the ID7 will find buyers, at least in Europe. If the price was reduced a bit, it would be even more interesting
@@BobBaumeister-g8v That's always in the eye of the beholder, since "better" is always quite subjective. I can only speak for our company: we had the ID7 for testing, so I gave a “conclusion” here. We are looking for a replacement for our old Model 3P, but will now replace it with a Model 3 LR. This was supported by the higher trailer load (we often have to tow a variety of trailers), shorter vehicle with almost the same trunk volume, uniform operation (we use Model 3&Y), uniform and great software connection for the fleet manager, slightly better fuel consumption (also with 4WD), Ranger Service (works perfectly for us), no mandatory service appointments (we do it ourselves), 20% cheaper price
The biggest problem with VW and the ID cars is all the extra trim levels, i been going true them like 50 times and i still have absolutly 0% clue what they add, it would be such a big help to actualy have a video going true exactly every one of them. You can add trim for like 15 000 USD and you still dont know what it is.
And that’s different from BMW and Mercedes? it’s a real legacy of the classic “dealer upsell” business model. Tesla, like polestar, have gone for the “three check boxes on the web page” model -which probably has better resale, value as it is more transparent about what you get when you buy a used vehicle.
Because I can't afford it. I owe Idehus (the company who built the house) about 4 million baht. And in addition I owe the bank 10 times more for the regular house loan.
In the previous videos I already thought that VW had finally improved somehow, but the opposite is true 😂😂 . So I'm still sticking to the principle, I don't want any electric car from VW group for the next 10 years.
@@bjornnyland Can you explain why not please? As I understand this type of battery chemistry can crystallize and loose capacity when ions have to move fast and temparature plays a crucial role. But I am happy to understand this better, if I am wrong.
A power limit when you're driving on the highway is very dangerous, especially in Germany. A minimum of 80 km/h should be maintained, not 50 or 60 km/h.
@@davidstud3952 20kw is like 27hp. which is roughly what a Volkswagen beetle had back in 1945, and that car had a topspeed of 105km/h, 0-100km/h in 50sec. But that car was 800kg, and this is 2200kg, so yes you could probably reach 80km/h but not uphill.
@@davidstud3952 Why should I not be on the highway with 5% SoC if my goal or charging stop is only a few km away? My EV from 2019 can drive 130km/h at 1% SoC without any issues at all.
@@Tschacki_Quacki just as precaution, for instance I don't wanna see a traffic jam forming in front of me with such a little SoC or find out that my planned charging station is kaputt
@@davidstud3952 I agree but that ain't the point? We are talking about such a drastic power limit that it basically reduces the real range of the car by a few percent. Ain't nobody gonna drive around with "but it's still good for 80km/h if we're not going uphill". I doubt that VW is having a different opinion and would expect them to tune that stuff a little more towards consumer friendliness. Hopefully through software.
It's difficult to correctly predict the SoC of a battery. Also, we don't know the state of the BMS calibration or the balance of the pack. Like someone said...the pack was very cold, that also screws around with pack performance. In the end, this car handled the cold and low state of charge pretty well up the hill. Preventing sudden death of the pack. Even the car's prediction was pretty good. All in all, seems like a good car (8/10) and pretty good EV (7/10).
I am sorry but this is embarrassing. I've driven many times below 0%bwith my tesla and was never worried. I am now on 100k km and still soon did 15 km below 0 in cold weather.. Was never worried or had to go dog slow. The screen of the vw still looks laggy. The only thing I envy are the headlights.. I've driven German cars with matrix headlight and they are indeed amazing. .. But to beg for power at 4% is pathetic..
You are driving an electric car and you are saying you have a power limit when slowing down while going uphill. Then you are confused that you suddenly do not have a heater.😂 Of course it will come back as soon as you have some power again like when you were going downhill.🙈
@@bjornnyland The power limit is the Bms limiting power. So if you have a limit of 30kW and using 30kW for driving you have 30-30 so 0 kW for your Massage and heating. Also my mx-30 does exactly the same👍😊
One of the best EV videos I have ever seen so far! I deals with the reality of BEVs having shorter range than ICE cars especially noticeable in cold weather. On top of that a lot of changes in elevation. For it makes me think the ID7 will be my next car even more!

Why not a non plaid S???
Tesla model 3 standard range Higland maybe
❤❤❤
I guess that part of the software has been developed in the US! :-P
@bjornnyland Some alternatives/competitors for this challenge would be: Ioniq6 or BYD Seal. Roughly same shape and batterysize.
I have an Ioniq 6, could i get 100kw charging speed with a very cold battery if my battery is very low?
And then?
@@bjornnyland You said that there was no coldgate because the soc was very low. I never heard before that a very low battery would not coldgate.
calgon
Great video Bjorn, the cabin seems noisy enough or maybe the mic is too goooood
ID7 is very quiet. About the same noise levels as Mercedes EQS and BMW iX.
The ioniq 6 can do it no?
For comparison, Ioniq 6 was 20 minutes faster (9h30m compared to 9h50m ID.7) on 1000km challenge, but at 4°C more and, which matters more, dry roads. Winter tires for both, but aero rims on the Ioniq 6. Nominal battery size is the same. Consumption was 230Wh/km for Ioniq 6 and 258 Wh/km for ID.7.
Am I the only one who gets scared when an BEV talks about „Ignition“ in its screen? 😈
Would it make sense to include the new Scenic in this test? It is likely going to be less efficient, but claims 87kWh usable battery size, which is more than this.
Yes, because also in older ICE car it just drained the 12 v battery when activating ignition. It did not actually start the ICE.
The Scenic charges quite a bit slower than the ID.7. It's the main disadvantage of the current French cars.
@@drfisheye But AFAIK it should have quite a long range, so the number of times one needs to charge in the middle of journey might be small. And it's a lot cheaper, at least in my country.
I'm not surprised French cars charge slowly. French are famous for how long their lunches and other meals take, so they have the time 😇. Nevertheless, I've seen some graphs of a charging curve where it held almost 150kW up until some 50% of battery. That might be lower than ID.7, but it's not terrible either.
@@michalvaner3167 it's cheaper yes. In terms of charging according to the EV Database: charging from 10 to 80% would take 40 minutes and gets you 333km range. The ID.7 would take 28 minutes, giving 331km range. Not saying the Renault is bad in this regard, but not as good as the ID.7. It's not as efficient and charges much slower. I don't drive 1000km in one day in my holidays so the Renault would probably work fine for me.
Porn, charging porn lol 😅
👍👍
The ID7 is a good step in the right direction and a very nice car to drive, but the overall package is "only" a good average. It doesn't have any major weaknesses, but it doesn't set any new benchmarks either - the competition has certainly made greater progress here or still ahead.
BEV market leader in 2025, as was once announced, will still not be possible.
But as a company vehicle alone, the ID7 will find buyers, at least in Europe. If the price was reduced a bit, it would be even more interesting
Which car is better in this class and price?
@@BobBaumeister-g8v That's always in the eye of the beholder, since "better" is always quite subjective.
I can only speak for our company: we had the ID7 for testing, so I gave a “conclusion” here.
We are looking for a replacement for our old Model 3P, but will now replace it with a Model 3 LR.
This was supported by the higher trailer load (we often have to tow a variety of trailers), shorter vehicle with almost the same trunk volume, uniform operation (we use Model 3&Y), uniform and great software connection for the fleet manager, slightly better fuel consumption (also with 4WD), Ranger Service (works perfectly for us), no mandatory service appointments (we do it ourselves), 20% cheaper price
The biggest problem with VW and the ID cars is all the extra trim levels, i been going true them like 50 times and i still have absolutly 0% clue what they add, it would be such a big help to actualy have a video going true exactly every one of them.
You can add trim for like 15 000 USD and you still dont know what it is.
Agree. That is where they make (extra) money. But there are sooo much choices. Tesla is more straightforward, i prefer that.
And that’s different from BMW and Mercedes? it’s a real legacy of the classic “dealer upsell” business model. Tesla, like polestar, have gone for the “three check boxes on the web page” model -which probably has better resale, value as it is more transparent about what you get when you buy a used vehicle.
Why not just buy thr press car ? I'm sure they'll give you discounts
Because I can't afford it. I owe Idehus (the company who built the house) about 4 million baht. And in addition I owe the bank 10 times more for the regular house loan.
สู้ๆนะพี่ will keep watching your vds
Sooo , what about advertised 621 km range? I guess no chance? 😂
That's WLTP. If you understand how WLTP is measured you will know that this trip during winter is nowhere near WLTP.
MEB shieeeeettt 💩 That software 🤦♂️
In the previous videos I already thought that VW had finally improved somehow, but the opposite is true 😂😂 . So I'm still sticking to the principle, I don't want any electric car from VW group for the next 10 years.
Model Y LR snälla Björn 🥳
Car almost died - its for me a typical headline for not buying an ev 😂
Why did since charging fit in the box for text but not shorter words, silly germans 😂
It's nice to see but -20 is killing SOH, especially 0-100 SOC experiments. The current weak point of EV's IMHO.
Incorrect. -20°C is *not* killing SoH.
@@bjornnyland Can you explain why not please? As I understand this type of battery chemistry can crystallize and loose capacity when ions have to move fast and temparature plays a crucial role. But I am happy to understand this better, if I am wrong.

A power limit when you're driving on the highway is very dangerous, especially in Germany. A minimum of 80 km/h should be maintained, not 50 or 60 km/h.
with 20kW you still can do 80km/h, Bjorn was going uphill.
you shouldn't be on the highway with SoC
@@davidstud3952 20kw is like 27hp. which is roughly what a Volkswagen beetle had back in 1945, and that car had a topspeed of 105km/h, 0-100km/h in 50sec. But that car was 800kg, and this is 2200kg, so yes you could probably reach 80km/h but not uphill.
@@davidstud3952 Why should I not be on the highway with 5% SoC if my goal or charging stop is only a few km away?
My EV from 2019 can drive 130km/h at 1% SoC without any issues at all.
@@Tschacki_Quacki just as precaution, for instance I don't wanna see a traffic jam forming in front of me with such a little SoC or find out that my planned charging station is kaputt
@@davidstud3952 I agree but that ain't the point?
We are talking about such a drastic power limit that it basically reduces the real range of the car by a few percent.
Ain't nobody gonna drive around with "but it's still good for 80km/h if we're not going uphill".
I doubt that VW is having a different opinion and would expect them to tune that stuff a little more towards consumer friendliness. Hopefully through software.
Power limit @8%. Why???? Tesla Killer.😅😅😅😅
Cold battery.
It's difficult to correctly predict the SoC of a battery. Also, we don't know the state of the BMS calibration or the balance of the pack. Like someone said...the pack was very cold, that also screws around with pack performance.
In the end, this car handled the cold and low state of charge pretty well up the hill. Preventing sudden death of the pack. Even the car's prediction was pretty good.
All in all, seems like a good car (8/10) and pretty good EV (7/10).
Tesla Model 3 had same issue. They fixed it by heating up battery at low SoC.
@bjornnyland but do you think VW will fix it also. Or you have to buy a new car? 😉
@@sworksm552 I mean they promissed so many OTA updates when the ID3 came out and they completly fucked up like everyone expected
VW 🥺
I am sorry but this is embarrassing. I've driven many times below 0%bwith my tesla and was never worried. I am now on 100k km and still soon did 15 km below 0 in cold weather.. Was never worried or had to go dog slow.
The screen of the vw still looks laggy.
The only thing I envy are the headlights.. I've driven German cars with matrix headlight and they are indeed amazing.
.. But to beg for power at 4% is pathetic..
*ehem*...

Have you ever driven at -20C?
VW's software is like -10 years of Tesla.🤔
Except for the manual Pre Heating. That's a very nice future
You are driving an electric car and you are saying you have a power limit when slowing down while going uphill. Then you are confused that you suddenly do not have a heater.😂 Of course it will come back as soon as you have some power again like when you were going downhill.🙈
Tesla and all other EVs doesn't behave like this.
@@bjornnyland The power limit is the Bms limiting power. So if you have a limit of 30kW and using 30kW for driving you have 30-30 so 0 kW for your Massage and heating. Also my mx-30 does exactly the same👍😊
One of the best EV videos I have ever seen so far! I deals with the reality of BEVs having shorter range than ICE cars especially noticeable in cold weather. On top of that a lot of changes in elevation. For it makes me think the ID7 will be my next car even more!
So many disadvantages with 400v systems, lucky they soon gets over to 800v
@@dellyet Are VW really doing that?
This car proofs that VW doesn't know how to make EVs, this is why they are trying to stop chinese car with their politics 🤷♂
Did we watch same video? VW performed pretty well in every aspect especially when comparing to older ID4 and ID3
@@ptuomo performed well if you consider only their cars, because they are struggling against other brands.
Which chinese car is better. And please concrete, what VW politics?
@@BobBaumeister-g8v BYD, NIO, xPeng, even the Xiaomi SU7 is bettere than VW EVs, I'm talking about german/european politics, not VW politics.
