The VW Electric Car for Sale That Everyone (Including Santa) is Talking About

When Santa makes his rounds this year in Texas, he might not arrive in his normal sleigh led by Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. He might just show up in the Volkswagen ID.4, which was named as the 2021 winner of the World Car of the Year. After all, it’s got 64.2 cubic ft. of cargo space for holding bags of toys for everyone that made it on his “Nice” list. It also has been independently tested and verified to go 260 miles on a single charge, which makes it a leading performer in the EV world.

Ah, who are we kidding? We can’t picture Santa driving an SUV. That’s just not his style!

We can, however, see him delivering a few VW electric cars to the lucky people of Houston. Ever since the ID.4 was announced and made available on pre-order, we’ve been ho-ho-hoping to get a few on our lot well before holiday lights started popping up around Houston. Thankfully, VW Cypress now has the Volkswagen ID.4 for sale and ready for you to test drive.

Is this your first time hearing about the VW ID.4? Allow us to fill you in on some of the highlights about this award-winning all-electric vehicle.

Sleigh All Day in the Brand-New VW ID.4

When customers and reviewers talk about the VW ID.4, we obviously get a lot of questions about it. After all, we’re the company mainly known for the Beetle and the Golf GTI. Going electric for us was not only out of character, but a little bit of a risk as well. So, when people ask us, “Why didn’t you release an electric car sooner?” the answer is pretty simple.

We wanted to get it right the first time. Actually, getting it right wasn’t good enough…we wanted to get it as close to perfect as possible.

We knew the two main concerns consumers would have going into this. Electric vehicles are either too expensive or don’t get enough miles on a single charge. In fact, you can easily spend over $100K on a new Tesla.

With the VW electric car, we wanted to find the balance between affordability, performance, and practicality. As we mentioned earlier, the VW ID.4 gets approximately 260 miles on a single charge. It’s also already been tested and verified to go on a 6,700-mile road trip through another independent test, which is why many reviewers are calling the ID.4 one of the most reliable EV vehicles in its class.

With a starting MSRP of $39,995, it drastically undercuts those pricey Teslas. You can get the ID.4 for as low as $32,495 after the potential federal tax credit. Factor in all the money you’re going to save at the pump, and you can begin to see why going electric is a worthwhile investment.

Charging Up the VW ID.4

You know the VW ID.4 has great range on a single charge, and you know that it can handle cross-country trips. Naturally, you’re probably wondering, “How quickly does the ID.4 charge up?”

Volkswagen has put in the work to make the charging process as convenient as possible for ID.4 owners. Level 2 Home Charging yields about 23 – 34 miles off a one-hour charge. When charging with Level 3 DC Fast Charging, you’ll get about 62 miles after just ten minutes.

Charging times will vary slightly by model, but making sure that both driving range and charging times were convenient for drivers was a top priority for VW when designing the ID.4. Our advice is to charge up anytime you hit the grocery store. Even if you’re only in there for 15 – 20 minutes, you’re going to come out with much higher battery health than when you went in.

Charging a car takes a little bit of getting used to, but just think about how much you’re spending at the pump right now. Every month will feel like Christmas when you never have to buy a single drop of gasoline again.

The VW ID.4 At-a-Glance Specs and Key Features
