Volkswagen announces that in 5 years it wants to be the leader of electric cars in the world. He wants to do this with a new line of models abbreviated ID.
This declaration seems bold, considering that the first model in the series - the ID.3 - has only recently hit showrooms.
99% of drivers in Podlasie have never driven an electric car (not to be confused with hybrids) and this type of car is a rather vague vision of the future for them. The future is rather inevitable, regardless of current preferences for diesel or the so-called Gasoline.
🚘📱
So what will the cars of the future look like?
They will be operated like a mobile phone and tell jokes. No it's not a joke ... ID.3 tells jokes. This is due to the advanced voice control function. Thanks to it, we can run or change most of the car parameters. It works like Google and Siri telephone voice assistants.
Say: "Hello ID. Tell a joke ”to hear a funny car joke according to Volkswagen.
🖥
Virtually all car functions are operated from the touch screen, the menu of which looks the same as in our mobile phones. This makes it necessary to take a moment to familiarize yourself with the system at the beginning, but then the operation is intuitive.
Another similarity to our phone is that the system updates itself several times a year (online). Who knows if in the future, the appearance of a new version of the multimedia system in electric cars will not be more important than a new engine.
🏎
The driving experience can be summed up in two words: fast and quiet.
Traction should be praised. At maximum acceleration, the ID.3 crushes the driver into the seat (7.3 seconds to 100 km /) without losing traction, even on slippery surfaces.
All electric cars ensure a quiet driving experience, although the ID.3 seems to be better isolated from outside noise.
🔌
The available copy had a real range of 350 km. For most drivers, this is enough for a whole week of driving. However, each owner of an electrician connects the car overnight to 'recharge' to a home socket. Overnight is enough to supplement the ID.3 range by 150-200 kilometers. And this means that we only have to worry about chargers on the road for longer journeys.

We don't write much about the technical aspects of the car. These will be presented to you if you visit the Volkswagen Sieńko i Son showroom in Białystok, whom we thank for lending the car.
