I'm considering buying an e-golf. What is your experience with the battery life? Lost of range over time etc?

Does the cost of new batteries or questionable resale value make a lease a better deal. I usually keep my cars for at least 10 years.

Thanks for all your info on the older post. They give more useful info than VW.
 
I have about 15000 miles on my 2015 e-Golf and I have seen no discernible degradation. Since I started keeping track of my car's usable battery capacity last July, I have seen it hover around 20 kWh. I drive about 8000 miles a year, usually charge using a 30 amp L2 station, and occasionally use DCFC stations. It seems to me VW did their homework and produced a solid battery pack, but only time will tell.
