Reston, VA — Volkswagen of America, Inc., today announced that its ID.4 and ID.

For current Volkswagen ID.4 and ID. Buzz owners, adapters will be available through Volkswagen dealers or online at parts.vw.com, priced with an MSRP of $200. Original owners of MY25 ID.4 and ID. Buzz vehicles are eligible to receive a $100 rebate on the adapter.

Supercharger access is better than nothing, but it still is not NACS. Better keep your AC charger in your frunk.
