Volkswagen Advises ID.4 Owners to Cap Charging at 80% Ahead of Remote Software Limit
Volkswagen is urging certain ID.4 electric crossover owners to restrict their maximum charge level to 80% while awaiting an official recall remedy. If drivers fail to adjust the setting manually or explicitly opt out by the deadline, the automaker plans to enforce the charging cap remotely via an over-the-air update. The temporary measure is intended to mitigate potential fire risks associated with the high-voltage battery modules.
