On the official site, the ID.3 Pro and Pro S are listed with 201 hp, but access to the maximum 228 hp is now offered only for an additional fee.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"330\" data-end=\"595\">The upgrade can be activated in two ways: by subscribing for \u00a316.50 per month ($22) or by making a one-time payment of \u00a3649 ($880). The one-time payment is tied to the vehicle itself, meaning the feature will remain available to the next owner if the car is sold.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"893\">Volkswagen notes that the power increase does not affect the driving range. This model is not entirely new: in 2022, BMW attempted to charge $18 per month for heated seats but dropped the idea after negative backlash. Similar options are also offered by other manufacturers, including Polestar.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"895\" data-end=\"1069\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">It remains unclear whether the practice will expand to other markets, including the U.S. and mainland Europe.
