The Volkswagen Team Switzerland under the project management of Felix Egolf, an expert in long-distance driving with electric cars, has done it: the new, all-electric ID.7 Pro S covered a total of 794 kilometres on one battery charge and in 15 hours and 42 minutes of pure driving time. This significantly exceeded the model’s maximum WLTP range (combined) of up to 709 kilometres. The comfortable touring saloon was driven on public roads and in normal traffic flow during the entire tour during the day.
It was driven on a circular route of approximately 81 kilometres in the greater Zug area, south of Zurich. The route profile corresponded to everyday driving with local crossings, motorway sections and country roads with hilly transitions. Eight different drivers covered a total of 794 kilometres over two consecutive days on a single battery charge. This is roughly equivalent to the distance from Basel to Emden in northern Germany, where the ID.7 is built. The average consumption was at an exceptionally low level of 10.3 kWh/100 kilometres. For comparison: the lowest WLTP value for the model is 13.6. Converted into diesel, the average consumption driven means only around 1.1 litres per 100 km.
The range of 794 km was driven in the middle of last week during the day in normal traffic. The average speed was 51 km/h; the remaining range displayed was two kilometres. Another interesting detail: the model driven was not the most range-efficient equipment variant of the ID.7 Pro S. According to WLTP calculations, the vehicle, which comes with optional equipment such as the comfort package, the ‘IQ.DRIVE’ assistance package, the ‘Plus’ exterior package and a heat pump, has a WLTP range of 700 km.
