This exciting development simplifies the charging experience, making it more convenient and user-friendly.
Seamless Charging for 2023 ID.4 Owners
If you’re the proud owner of a 2023 VW ID.4, you’re in for a treat. Volkswagen has introduced Plug&Charge support, allowing you to tap into the benefits effortlessly. Starting in early 2024, you can activate this feature via the Electrify America app, streamlining the charging process.
Plug&Charge relies on advanced V2G communication technology, incorporating robust security measures to ensure the safety of your transactions.
