Volkswagen will introduce a remote software update that temporarily reduces the driving range of some ID.4 electric vehicles to 80% of their original capacity. The move aims to address concerns over battery degradation and ensure long-term performance consistency. Owners may notice a reduction in available range until the update is reversed or adjusted. The decision reflects growing industry practices to manage battery health through software interventions.
