    I build custom batteries for EVs using battery modules from VW ID cars.
    I have an instance where an 82kWh pack from an ID4 after 100,000km lost exactly 23-24% like in this video. In that pack, 1 cell in 2 modules lost capacity (there are 12 modules in a pack). Others were fine. We swapped the modules and problem was solved.
    So, i'm 99% sure the ID4 in the video has the same problem.
    This happens only on 82kWh pack modules. I have dozens of cars running the 62kWh packs (doing 100,000km per year in taxi) and those haven't got such issues or maybe I'm lucky - who knows.

  • @rukasuara

    I just traded in my 1st Edition Id.4 for a new Id.4 GTX 4Motion. It had similar mileage as this one, and from the test result the firm did, there was only 4% degradation on the battery. As I see it, a faulty cell is the only way to explain that high degradation.

    This looks like a faulty battery module which should be replaced in the HV battery recall program. I downloaded some docs from Erwin where the affected VIN-s are listed. I would be happy to share it with you or the owner to check if his car is on the list. Not every affected car is on the list, but if it is, then at least one module is faulty for sure. If it's not on the list, service should still check cell balance to decide if the car is affected.

    Would be good to check the highest and lowest voltage cell when near full and near empty (if the OBD reads out those values). If the spread would be large, this could tell us there might be a faulty cell, causing the issues and limiting the performance of the entire pack.

As stated in the comments, there was (is?) a recall of IDs, especially with the big pack, because of kaputt modules/cells :) There is also a link available, where you can check yourself, if your car is known to have this problem. Normally VW should have contacted the owners, at least when the car is in for service.
    Btw. the range would be fine for the small (58kWh) pack ;) - however, the voltage is wrong/mismatches.

  • @MortenB0
    @MortenB0 Před 6 měsíci +7

    This can be a result of software issues or hardware problems with a module controlling cell balancing. If cell balancing is not working car will stop on first cell that hit max. voltage when charging to 100% and when driving it will hit 0% when the lowest cell is at minimum voltage. I would think this should be possible to see by looking at the cell groups after charged to 100%. Unless battery box have leaked saltzsmutz into the control circuits and some cell groups voltages might even be measured incorrectly...

    Hi Björn., In most BEVs you get all the individual cell values with CarScanner, and it then also automatically shows the cell with the highest and the cell with the lowest voltage. Do you immediately see, if some cell/s are faulty and drifted in voltage from all other cells. Have you checked that in this ID.4? In my Kia Soul EV and E-Niro there were Values called Maximum Deterioration, MaximummDeterioration Cell No, etc... and you are able to see each and every cell numbers voltage individually.

    I own a GOLF GTE 2018 model that after 6 years 78.000 km now have hit 70% SoH (State of Health) on the HV battery. I have used the test from AVILOO for documentation to my local VW garage. So in the near future it will go below 70% and i can ask VW to repair the battery under warranty.
    But the big issue now is that in you if you read your warranty from VW, they shall only bring the battery up to 74% because the car is 6 years old! Translate from Danish to English.:
    2.2 If there is a disproportionate loss in the net battery energy content
    according to clause C.2.1,
    this will be remedied free of charge for the customer in a

    3 years after first delivery, depending on which
    whichever occurs first: 78% of the
    of the original value;
    (b) up to a maximum of 100,000 kilometres driven or

    whichever occurs first: 70 per cent of the
    of the original value.
    Example: If the net battery content at a
    car age of 4 years and 90,000 kilometres driven
    69%, then in the course of the defect rectification, a net battery
    achieve a net battery content
    of at least 74%.
    Do anyone have any experience with warranty on the HV battery on a VW, how much they bring it back too (SoH)?
    And the ID.4 in this video is only covered if it drops to under 69% SoH as I read the warranty form VW.
    Thanks Bjørn for a fantastic channel and very good tests of EV cars and problems.

    CarScanner can show min/max cell voltage with VWs
    This will show if some cells are bad.
    Also you can monitor cell voltage difference during hammering to find high resistance cells.

    Then L2 charging to 100% in 65 F ambient. VW diagnosis cost $800~ workshop found no module issues stated “HV battery performing normally”.

    In general there is something wrong with VW/Skoda batteries. Degradation is very high.
    No problem to find 2 yo car with less than 85% of battery (SOH), but usually 2yo Vw got around 90%, which is still high in comparison to other brands, for ex. 3yo Ionic5 still got 99%.

  • @MarkusWolff
    @MarkusWolff Před 6 měsíci +1

    It would be interesting to see if this is a permanent degradation or if it's related to the winter temperatures. There recently was a US study researching range loss in winter for several car models and they found the VW ID.4 to be the worst offender with a range loss of up to 46% !! I've had an ID.4 myself for roughly the past 2.5 years. The past two winters were relatively mild with only a couple of days below -10°C. First winter with the original software 2.3 saw quite a serious bit of range loss but not in the ballpark mentioned in your video or the study. Second winter was with software 3.0 and while not stellar, it showed a little improvement in range. Now the car is seeing its third winter, this time with software 3.2 - and this winter has already seen a number of really cold days (for northern Germany - probably just a cold summer for Norway ;-)), I even got frozen door handles a couple of times :-D Anyway, I've never seen as massive a loss as during the current winter - it's insane! Charged to 80%, displayed range well below 300km, drove only two or three very short trips (less than 15km each), within the city, so speed was always below 60km/h - often slower because of weather conditions - and then had just 68% left. Usually, when I drive only in the city, I only need to charge every other week - now I'm charging every week.
    And like the owner you mentioned in your video, I've taken pretty good care of the battery - rarely charging 100%, mostly charging AC. Car has driven less than 15.000km total yet, so mostly city-use, very few long trips, very little hammering on the Autobahn. Practically still brand-new ;-)

    • @MarkusWolff
      @MarkusWolff Před 6 měsíci

      Reading through the other comments, I see a lot of people suspecting faulty cells. Could very well be, since there actually was a recall for some ID.3 and ID.4 models because of faulty cells more than a year ago (I think), but at least according to VW, my car was checked for that when they were doing the 3.2 update. So, unless they were lying about that, that's not the case for me. Maybe for the car in the video if it was not yet checked. Then again, this sounds all quite consistent with the range study I mentioned above.

    • @MarkusWolff
      @MarkusWolff Před 6 měsíci

      Also interesting: The study showed that one of the cars with the least winter degradation was the pre-MEB Audi e-Tron. All MEB cars were much worse off, which is also consistent with reports wo of my colleagues, who drive ID.5 and Cupra Born, and also have very poor winter range. But again, ID.4 beats them all ;-)

    No, 23% degredation is nicht good. It isn't normal. This maybe due to the car sitting unplugged with low SoC.

No more degredation.
