Make sure the plug type you choose matches the outlet type you have at home. While many outlets look similar, they are definitely not the same. The one called NEMA 5-15 is the regular 120V household outlet that all home appliances use, while other outlet types, such as the 14-50 or 6-50 (The two most popular EV Charging Outlets), get installed specifically for appliances or EV Chargers that require 240V. That said, there are more 240V outlet types that are commonly used, such as the NEMA 14-30, 6-30, 6-20, L14-30, and more.

The Volkswagen ID.4 electric vehicle was first launched in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2021 as the first fully electric compact crossover SUV of the Volkswagen brand. The EV comes with a 77kW/h lithium-ion battery pack, which delivers an improved 291-mile all-electric range. The Volkswagen ID.4 can be charged by Level 1 or Level 2 J1772 EV chargers at a maximum rate of 11kW/h on a 240-volt outlet for residential charging. We have collated a guide to answer common questions received in relation to Volkswagen ID.4 EV charging.

To preserve the battery life, charging from 20% to 80% is preferential as charging slows down outside of this range and may impact the battery performance.
The main benefit of upgrading your EV charger from a manufacturer Level 1 to a Level 2 charger is the ramp-up in amplified voltage from 120-volt to 240-volt which will drastically reduce charge times for your EV. Reduced charge times will allow you to benefit from the full range of electric miles offered by the Volkswagen ID.4 and allow you to enjoy the benefits of electric driving for longer distances. Additionally, faster charging with a Level 2 charger can lead to significant cost savings by reducing the need for public charging and maximizing the use of lower-cost home electricity.
A Type 1 SAE J1772 charger connector will allow you to charge the Volkswagen ID.4 at home, work, or at a public charge point. The car’s on-board alternating current (AC) determines the maximum charge rate, that being 11kW/h, or 48A (Hardwire chargers only). That said, the Volkswagen ID.4 is capable of using DC fast chargers at public charging stations with the CCS1 connector, providing quick and efficient recharging for long-distance trips.
At EV Chargers, we have a range of charger types to suit all EV Owners. The most popular charger for the Volkswagen ID.4 is the NEMA 14-50 or the NEMA 6-50 40A version, as they provide the fastest charging time for this EV. Level 1 charging is possible but generally too slow for fully electric vehicles, and therefore an alternative suitable option could be an EV Charger with the 14-30 EV plug since it’s still a Level 2 240-volt charger but only offers a maximum charge of 24A or 30% slower than the full 40A; The 14-30 outlet is commonly found already installed in garages for dryers or heavy-duty electrical appliances, saving the owner the installation of a new outlet to EV charge. Electric charging at home offers the convenience of charging overnight and cost savings compared to traditional fuel.
The best location to charge is primarily dependent on the owner’s preferences and lifestyle; however, the majority of EV owners opt to charge at home as a result of lower overnight electricity rates and the additional convenience of charging at home. Nevertheless, nowadays, many workplaces have facilities to charge your EV, as well as level 2 charging stations, which can be found in places such as malls, government facilities, etc. If you’re looking to charge during an overnight stay away from home, the most common outlet is the 14-50, which will be suitable for locations such as RV Parks, campgrounds, and hotels.
Charging the Volkswagen ID.4 at home can be significantly cheaper compared to driving a vehicle with average fuel economy over the same distance, highlighting potential fuel savings over five years.
The average cost of charging any EV will vary depending on the following key factors: location (residential or commercial), the U.S. State where you charge, the time of day, and the charging power. The table below shows estimated charging costs based on the current U.S. averages for electricity, based on ¢/kWh.
Place | |
---|---|
Home (empty to full)* | Commercial chargers** |
Avg. cost | |
---|---|
$43.65 | $113.50 |
Cost/mile | |
---|---|
0.15¢ | 0.39¢ |
* Assumes average. U.S. tariff of 20 ¢/kWh.
** Assumes tariff of 50 ¢/kWh applicable to most commercial Level 2 network EV chargers.
You may charge your Volkswagen ID.4 at any Level 1, Level 2, and CCS commercial charging stations.
The fastest available EV charger for the Volkswagen ID.4 is a 40 amp Level 2, 240-volt charger which is offered with plugs NEMA 14-50 and 6-50.
The Volkswagen ID.4 uses a J1772 Type 1 connector. Volkswagen vehicles do not currently have a NACS connector.
Charging the Volkswagen ID.4 with a Level 1 charger will take 50 hours to fully charge which is not sufficient for the lifestyle of most EV owners. Comparable Level 2 charging, with a 14-50 40amp EV charger, will provide a full electric charge in 8 hours.
The most popular EV charger we offer to Volkswagen ID.4 owners is a Level 2 14-50 charger as this is the fastest available EV charging option.
The main benefits of Level 2 EV charging are speed, cost, and convenience. A Level 2 charger will significantly reduce charge times to ensure Volkswagen ID.4 owners have the 291-mile full electric range. This range can be completed at a cheaper overnight charge rate from the comfort of your own home.
All EVs alternating current (AC) charge rate is the limiting factor to the vehicles ability to charge faster, with a 11kW/h being the maximum input for a Volkswagen ID.4. This could potentially be improved in future versions of this EV which may have improved power acceptance settings.
Yes, DC fast charging stations are available for the Volkswagen ID.4. There are over 46,000 public charging stations, with around 6,000 being DC fast charging stations. These stations provide high power and convenience, allowing you to quickly charge your ID.4, making them ideal for long trips and reducing downtime.

Bought one of the chargers for a 6-50 plug that our electrician installed. Easy to use and easy to set-up. Powerful charger.
John H. (verified owner) –
Plug and go! It worked perfectly out of the box and it has been in use for 9 solid months. No issues at all!
JAMES B. (verified owner) –
This is better than expected. It’s nice to be able to select tour desired charging amps and delay the charging time if you desire. Very happy with this purchase so far!
