Known issues

High
Four NHTSA recalls filed between December 2025 and September 2026 cover battery fire risk in 2023-2026 ID.4s with cell modules from SK Battery America in Commerce, Georgia. 25V-836 (629 vehicles) and 26V-028 (670) replace modules with misaligned electrodes and carry a park-outside warning. 26V-030 (43,881) installs self-discharge detection software and replaces modules as needed. 26V-630 (22,524) has an unknown root cause and no remedy yet, and owners are told to charge to no more than 80% until a repair exists. Check the VIN against all four before buying.
Low
This is the smaller of two ID.4 packs: 62 kWh gross and 58 kWh net with a 140 kW charging peak, against 82 kWh and up to 175 kW. VW sold it as the Standard and S for 2023 and 2024 and as the Limited for 2025.

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 100k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.
