I have had continual problems with the JuiceBox ordered from Costco. Often it fails to charge. Also the charging "gun" does not easily seat in the charging port preventing a charge. I think this is a poor quality device and am sorry I bought it. I also deleted the Juicebox app and also the...

Thank you everyone...the tow truck driver was able to release the charging port. He kept pushing the unlock button and the other buttons and pulling hard. It was a combo on the delay charge button and the button that releases the charging door. Not easy. I am very disappointed with this...

By the way I can't search the forum help - works like "charger" "release" etc. are not allowed.

Help! I have spent more than an hour trying every trick I can find. This is not the first time this has happened but it is the first time I can't get it released after an hour of trying everything. The car would not charge at home so I took it to a public charging station. Lock unlock, turn...

This charging system is really not dummy proof. I don't understand why the interface has to be so convoluted with no single point of control. I can only charge to 100% and I am lucky if I can do that. I have never seen a flashing green light. The light goes off. Most of the time I get a...

Hi everyone, I've had the car about a month and its hot inside this black interior when its been sitting in the sun. The AC does not kick in until I've driven it a couple of minutes. I've never had a car with this problem. Why is this and what can I do to fix it? I don't care about the...

OK I'm a new owner baffled by charging. Where is the "charging for dummies" guide? When I connect the charging cable the button is colorless, orange or green. What do the colors mean? Sometimes when I plug it in I see a green light. More often I see a yellow light. What does it mean? The...

I agree on the colors. I was hard walking around the dealership and seeing pretty colors and knowing I was driving off a white car. Years ago I bought a new Passatt. V6 "Fresca Green" with a light gray leather interior. I paid $2K more more those colors and was happy every day that I had...

Thank you RonDawg. Its an expensive "power adapter" that regulates the power flow to the battery. The interface is built into the little box on the 120V cable just like the power cord of a laptop. Some car companies have chosen to provide one for 240V just like your laptop power cord is good...

Thank you! What does the Chargepoint or JuiceBox actually do? Is it just an adapter? I was reading that you can plug the Leaf Plus right into a 240V outlet without the need for a charging station. I don't need a charging station for the 120 Volt outlet.

I went to Hanlees today to check out the e-golf and take a test drive. No one in the dealership could tell me what to do for home charging 240 Volt. They took me over to a ChargePoint outlet and told me "you need to buy something like this for $1,000 and have an electrician install it". I was...

I just got an insurance quote for my proposed e-golf. All the $$ I save on gas and repairs will be eaten up by the increased insurance cost. $1400/year to insure a second car for a single driver. Even if I drop collision, comprehensive, etc and just buy liability its still a lot higher than...

Thank you for the photos. That is a beautiful color!! Unfortunately its not available in the 2019 model year.

Thank you for the photos. That is a beautiful color!!

I sent them the posting from this forum and got a price for the SE of $23,475 without tax, license and documentation. I think it will be just under $27,000 total. I did have to agree to finance it through VW. Tax is a lot here in CA 9.25%. It was a $10,000 discount from list price of either...
