Volkswagen ID.4 is a pure electric SUV based on the MEB platform, with advanced electrical architecture, high voltage power system and excellent endurance.
1. Electronic and electrical architecture
ID.4 uses a new electronic and electrical architecture, consisting mainly of three central computing units (ICAS1, ICAS2 and ICAS3). ICAS1 is responsible for in-car application services and cross-network communications, ICAS2 supports advanced autonomous driving functions, and ICAS3 centrally manages entertainment systems and navigation functions. This architecture makes ID4 more flexible and efficient in functionality, while also facilitating future software updates.
2. High voltage power systems
ID.4 is equipped with an 82kWh power storage battery, with a modular design. The battery modules are mounted in a lightweight aluminum construction to provide a lower center of gravity. The vehicle supports both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) fast charging, and the ID4 can be charged from 5% to 80% in about 38 minutes when using a 125kW charging post. In addition, ID4 will also launch a 62kWh power battery version to meet the needs of different users.
3. The chassis design
The chassis design of the ID.4 uses a McPherson front suspension, and the lower control arm of the front axle uses ultra-high strength steel to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle. In order to optimize aerodynamics, a chassis has also been installed to reduce wind resistance. This design not only improves the handling of the vehicle, but also enhances the comfort of the passenger.
4. Battery Systems and Charging Technology
ID4's battery system is one of its core technologies, affecting the range and charging experience of the vehicle. As part of Volkswagen's plan to significantly boost sales of its electric models by 2030, the ID.4 features outstanding range and fast charging capabilities.
5. Electric drive system
The electric drive module of the ID.4 adopts a unified design, and the reverse converter is tightly mounted above the motor, reducing structural complexity and friction, and improving reliability. Its cooling system is simple in design and eliminates traditional oil pumps and heat exchangers, further improving the efficiency of the system.
Through the above technical analysis, we can see the innovation and advantages of Volkswagen ID.4 in the field of electric vehicles, showing its strong performance and technical strength as a modern electric vehicle.
