Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Volkswagen ID.5 GTX. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Volkswagen ID.5 GTX can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	39h30m	11 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	24h30m	18 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	12h15m	35 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	8h15m	52 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	8h15m	52 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Volkswagen ID.5 GTX.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

About this Vehicle

Volkswagen ID.5 GTX Overview

The Volkswagen ID.5 GTX positions itself as a premium sporty electric SUV in Volkswagen’s expanding ID lineup, blending coupe-like styling with practical family utility. Targeted at performance-oriented buyers seeking a mainstream EV with all-wheel-drive grip, it appeals to urban drivers and long-distance commuters who prioritize efficiency and dynamic handling over outright luxury. Built on the flexible MEB platform, the ID.5 GTX stands out with its dual-motor setup, aggressive GTX styling cues like 20-inch wheels and sport-tuned suspension, and advanced APP550 drive units for enhanced power delivery.

Key distinguishing features include its sloping roofline for a sleek EV specs profile, spacious 549-1,734 liter boot, and intelligent regenerative braking for real-world efficiency. In the competitive electric vehicle range landscape, the Volkswagen ID.5 GTX matters as Volkswagen’s hot hatch-inspired take on the SUV segment, offering accessible performance without Tesla-level pricing. This ID.5 GTX review highlights its role in pushing mainstream brands toward sportier EVs, with WLTP ranges up to 538 km making it a versatile daily driver.

Volkswagen ID.5 GTX Performance and Driving Experience

The Volkswagen ID.5 GTX delivers thrilling acceleration thanks to its dual electric motors producing 340 hp and 545 Nm of torque, propelling it from 0-62 mph in 5.4 seconds. Its all-wheel-drive (4Motion) system uses an asynchronous front motor and permanent magnet rear motor for precise power distribution, ensuring excellent traction in wet or slippery conditions. Handling feels composed with a sporty edge, benefiting from a low center of gravity and responsive steering, though its 2,270 kg weight tempers agility on twisty roads.

Real-world impressions confirm the ID.5 GTX lives up to its sporty promise, achieving 3.5-3.8 miles/kWh on motorways and up to 5 miles/kWh in regenerative-heavy local drives, making it surprisingly efficient for a performance EV.
