Interesting...not an EV (yet), and not for US (ever).
I would also like an EV van. Well, doesn't have to be a van. 7 passenger seating, sliding rear doors, fold-flat / removable seats behind the first row, 300 mile range. But I'll go 50K for it...under 30K is 2010 pricing, I'm afraid.

Mostly a bunch of Tesla bros showing off their cars but they did have a few local dealers showing off their company's EV offerings. Just spending five minutes checking out the ID4, I was impressed with the package at the price point. It's bigger than a Mach E at a $6k lower starting point. The "Launch Edition" they had on display was well equipped and was barely more than a Leaf SL Plus. That being said, an EV depending of VAG electronics? Not even once |

The display software and the charging interfacing for the ID4 have both had a variety of overall critical reviews, which for short term reviews may seem not seem like deal breakers, or "will be improved by future updates" but to me.. those are the two main ways an owner interacts with the vehicle besides driving it and would be a huge issue for me and I would think anyone who isn't an EV enthusiast / early adopter as well.
It's not a bad first offering by VW.. but given that they had huge software issues with the ID3, and this is what the ID4 with the 'gen 2' of that same software is offering is not encouraging. |

Everything I've read about the ID4 and the Electrify America chargers parrots the issues early on with the Mach E.
Considering EA is a VAG operation, I'm sure they are working on a software fix as we speak. |

Re daily actions being annoying:
We have a non-Tesla EVSE in our garage, because prior Leaf, RAV4 EV, and the two PacHys. Thus to charge my 3 was a matter of the Tesla to J1772 adapter. That part was fine. What was annoying is that to release the adapter from the Tesla's port required either opening up the app on the phone or opening the car door, leaning over to the center screen, hitting a button on the right of said screen, then exiting and removing the adapter. Small action, but annoying. (Tesla's own EVSE has a button on the handle to unlock it, iirc.) |

That's funny because the Leaf, at least the first Gen., is the exact opposite.
You can only lock the port by pushing a button under the steering wheel. I've never had to worry about it since the Leaf charges in the garage |

It wasn't just pulling on a door to unlock the car. It was unlocking the car and pushing the Unlock Charge Port button way over there on the screen.
