What are the recommended charging options for the Volkswagen ID.3?

I recently purchased a Volkswagen ID.3 and I am not sure about the best way to charge it. Should I use a home charger or rely on public charging stations? Any tips on how to optimize charging times and protect the battery life?

For the best charging experience, it is recommended to install a home charger for your Volkswagen ID.3. This will ensure faster charging times and convenience of charging at home. However, if you are unable to install a home charger, it is still possible to rely on public charging stations.

Make sure to use a charging station that is compatible with your vehicle's charging capabilities. For example, if your ID.3 has a maximum charging capacity of 100 kW, using a charging station with a higher capacity will not result in faster charging speeds. Additionally, it is important to avoid fast charging too frequently as it can negatively affect the battery life over time.

To protect your battery life, it is also recommended to avoid charging your ID.3 to 100% all the time. Aim for a charging level of 80-90% for daily use and only charge to 100% when you need the maximum range. This will help prolong the overall lifespan of your battery.
