Welcome to a new age of sustainable, responsible motoring when you lease an ID.3. VW’s first-ever net carbon-neutral car is manufactured through a comprehensive strategy of sustainability, with zero CO2 on the ID.3’s balance sheet right through the supply chain, production, use and recycling of the car. If you want to drive the most environmentally-friendly EV currently available, don’t miss our latest UK Volkswagen ID.3 lease deals. The award-winning ID.3 has won a stack of automotive plaudits, including the WhatCar 2021: Best Family Electric Car.

So, what can you expect when you take out a Volkswagen ID.3 lease? Similar to the ever-popular Volkswagen Golf in its looks, the ID.3 is deceptively large in terms of its interior space, thanks to the placement of the battery packs in the floor of the vehicle. This means that the ID.3 might be approximately the same size as a Golf on the outside, but on the inside, it is more akin to the larger Passat.

The futuristic design gives the ID.3 the appearance of a smaller car, but there’s a 385-litre boot and lots of room for the whole family. This has quickly become a hugely popular family lease choice, with the back seats providing more than enough space for adults too. Considering leasing an ID.3? Here’s everything you need to know.

How do you charge the Volkswagen ID.3?

The Volkswagen ID.3 electric car is available to lease in three battery sizes; 45 kWh, 58 kWh and a large 77 kWh option.

Battery size	Useable battery size	Real world range	WLTP range (official range)
48 kWh	45 kWh	175 miles	217 miles
62 kWh	58 kWh	215 miles	261 miles
82 kWh	77 kWh	280 miles	344 miles

Once you lease a VW ID.3, the cheapest way to charge the Volkswagen ID.3 is usually with a home charge point, where you can take advantage of EV-specific energy tariffs. This is also the most common way to charge an electric car.

When using a 7 kW home charge point you can recharge the Volkswagen ID.3 45 kWh option from flat to full in around 7 hours 30 minutes, and if you opt for the largest 77 kWh option you can expect it to take around 12 hours. With a home charger, the majority of the charging takes place overnight, which means that when it comes to your morning commute the ID.3 has all the miles you need to get you there and back.

Sometimes you may need to top up your charge when you're on the road. You can do this a bit faster by plugging into a public rapid charger, if you’re using a 100 kW rapid charger you can expect to gain around 100 miles of charge in as little as 15 minutes!
