The 2026 Volkswagen ID.4 is incredibly efficient, with the rear-wheel-drive model achieving an EPA-estimated 122 MPGe in the city and 104 MPGe on the highway. In heavy Milwaukee stop-and-go traffic, the vehicle utilizes regenerative braking. This system recaptures kinetic energy to recharge the battery while slowing the vehicle down. Because the electric motor handles much of the deceleration, your physical brake pads experience far less wear than those on a traditional gas vehicle. However, regular inspections are still necessary to ensure the calipers remain free of rust buildup caused by local road salt. |

| Because electric SUVs carry heavy battery packs and deliver instant torque to the wheels, tires often wear down differently. Rotating your tires every 7,500 to 10,000 miles ensures that the tread wears evenly across all four wheels, preserving your handling and extending the life of your tires.
