I have test driven both, but don't own either.
Both are very capable EVs. My impressions are:
We have owners of both in the CSEVC, I think we could probably enlist these members to engage with the prospect. If you don't have any luck making the connections through other methods, let me know and I will see if we can connect with our club members.
Both are very capable EVs. My impressions are:
- Both of these would be very comfortable to drive long distances.
- ID.4 appears to have a better DC charging curve, and a SW update is pending that will improve this further. MME charging after 80% is very slow, but this might be improved with a SW update at some point.
- ID.4 comes with 3 years of free Electrify America charging. If the intended use is a lot of long road trips, this could prove to be a great benefit.
- ID.4 RWD feels a bit sluggish on acceleration, but with the AWD version, it appears more comparable to MME.
- ID.4 feels a bit bulky for around town driving (I am accustomed to Chevy Bolt). MME feels sportier and a bit more nimble around town.
- ID.4 has an amazingly tight turning radius, useful for getting in and out of tight spots. AWD version of ID.4 loses a bit of the tight turning radius.
- MME turns heads, ID.4 looks more "mainstream".
- MME has a large Frunk for additional storage, ID.4 has more conventional load capacity with rear seats down. Probably about equal load capacity if the Frunk is used on MME.
- Many reports of Ford Dealers tacking on markups on MME, VW dealers apparently don't do this as often.
- In most cases, neither is carried in stock and must be ordered. Delivery times may be substantial.
