Volkswagen ID.7 Pro S achieves 585 miles on a single charge

A Volkswagen ID.7 Pro S has just achieved 585 miles on a single charge at the Nardo race track in southern Italy.

The car was being driven by Volkswagen driving experience pro drivers, with track temperatures ranging from five to 15 degrees – perfect for EV batteries.

The 7.7-mile race track allows a wide range of traffic scenarios and endurance tests to be simulated effectively.

To achieve this efficiency, the car has a very low drag coefficient of just 0.23cd – the same as Tesla’s very aerodynamic Model 3.

Martin Sander, member of the board of management for sales, marketing and aftersales at Volkswagen, said: “We are seeing a positive trend in incoming orders in Europe and are currently selling more ID.7 models than Passat. This shows that the ID.7 is a meaningful all-electric addition to the brand’s product portfolio and, in addition to our successful Passat, is also suitable for long distance drivers and as a company car.”

The Volkswagen ID.7 Pro S is priced from £55,480 and rises to £62,010 for the four-wheel-drive GTX 4Motion model.
