Hi everyone

For those that have been running id4 for sometime, what are your thoughts?

I’m 12 months in after 18500 miles. I’ve checked the long term mi/kWh and found it very disappointing. 2.7 is working out at 140 miles per charge to 100%.
I’m careful with how I use the heating etc. very little motorway driving.
Fortunately I can charge at no cost at work, if this wasn’t the case it would me more expensive than diesel.

I do regret buying the 52kwh version. But expected it would be ok.
Not sure if there’s an issue with the battery.

I have only had mine a few weeks, nearly all an 8 mile commute to work and back. The odd 50 mile journey thrown in. I’m on 3.2 miles at present. It’s on eco mode.

3.2 isn’t too bad for winter months. I used to get much more. It raises my concerns for the long term life span of the batteries

Life of the battery shouldn't reduce your mile/kWh, would just kill your range.

3.2 doesn't sound bad but if I was getting 2.7 then I'd be struggling with some journeys I'm planning on doing.

2.7 sounds pretty poor to me. I’m always into the 3’s winter or summer. Hard to know why it’s so low but a heavy foot or a faulty car are two possibilities. Might be worth chatting to your dealer.
