Volkswagen home charging requirements
Every Volkswagen electric model we cover, with the charger amperage its onboard charger accepts and the circuit that needs. A larger charger will not charge these cars any faster. Where a model's answer changed between years or trims, its page lists each version.
| Model | Years | Charger | Breaker |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen ID. Buzz | 2025 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Volkswagen ID.4 | 2021-2026 | 48 A | 60 A |
| Volkswagen e-Golf | 2019 | 32 A | 40 A |
Chargers for Volkswagen owners
Grouped by the amperage each Volkswagen above can accept. A larger charger than that will not charge the car any faster.
