Just to add some additional information - Clipper Creek does sell some 240V EVSE's with plugs. That is what I went with. I already had a 120V outlet on the side of my house near my driveway, so at the beginning I charged with the supplied charger. I had an unused 240V 30A circuit in my box...

Yes, I think they will. You will need to confirm the offset is good, but I think it is. That center bore sounds large, so you'll probably need centering rings. 8" wheel seems a little wide for an e-Golf. What size tires are you planning on using? I would only go with an 8" rim if you are...

No issues with mine either. But I don't have Park Assist or DC package or whatever, just the lines on the screen.

You're already in the thread on the main page. No problems with fit up. My only suggestion is to put the winter tires on the stock 16" wheels and keep the 18's for summer. You'll have bigger selection of winter tires in 16" and a better selection of summer tires in 18".

Good to know. Straight up in my GTI is 80mph.

That's kind of what I thought. I wish we had the amber turn signal and kept it separate from the brake light. We have reflectors down in the bumper, so it's not like we needed more reflectors. I'm kind of surprised VW spent the money to tool up unique tail lights for the NA market. I like...

Yup, sure will bolt up. Are you going to put winter tires on the stock wheels and use a more sporty tire on the 18s? I occasionally peruse the Wheel and Tire Classifieds, but I'm only looking for 17's. I think the brakes on our cars would look silly behind 18s.

As has been already stated, cost is the reason. I don't know what these LED door card lights look like, so I'm not missing them. I was in China a few weeks ago and what envious that all of their MkVII Golfs get LED tail lights. I'll have to try and get a set next time I'm there. What I can't...

Glad you made it your destination. I don't think of it as a "Lie-o-Meter" or "guess-o-meter" really. If you keep doing what you're doing (in your case going up hill), this is how far you can still go. Once you started going back down, yes, you gained range through re-gen, but you were also...

Sounds like the car is doing the driving and is moving you to the passenger seat.

I tried driving in Eco+ for the first time yesterday when we got caught out a little longer than planned. Driving in that mode was miserable. If that's what it takes to make it to the 100 mile club, I'll happily never join. I don't think I've crested the 5.0mi/kwh barrier yet.

Well, if you had kept the squishy sidewall 16's on the car instead of the fancy 18's, maybe this pothole wouldn't have been such a big deal. The price of vanity... ;) ANYWAY - what spare tire is that? A regular MkVII Golf donut? What did you have to do to get it to fit in there?

How VW operates and the pay scale of technicians isn't my concern. I'M not getting paid to figure out how to make changes to my vehicle, THEY ARE.

When you take your other cars in for service, do you tell them what size socket to use on your oil pan drain plug? Do you tell them how many lb-ft to torque the lugs to? I don't. That's why I'm taking it to them - it's their job to look that stuff up and work on my car. I'm not going to...

Agreed. I was thinking about swapping my wheel for an SEL wheel just so I could get radio control (well, that and leather wrapping). I'm just mad I didn't read this thread sooner! I was pissed off that I had to keep taking off my gloves to change radio stations in the winter.
