    Sparks when disconnecting.

    The Car should not be charging for 2 reasons: 1: when you unlock the car, the car is suppose to stop the charging as per the charge port light. 2: when you press the unlock button on your charge cable hand-gun, it is also suppose to cut the charge from the charger. The spark may create other...

    I suspect there is a problem with the egolf. VW says you should always rely on the charge port light before disconnecting. Once the light is off, disconnect before it turns back on. But there is a problem with that too... Even with the charge port light off, my 2020 egolf is still pulling...

    2018 MY Qualify for Ontario EV Rebate?

    It is on the MTO Eligible Vehicle page now. I am told most people fork out the 14K off lines of credits until the gov sends the rebate. I wish VW would find a way to apply this rebate at purchase... or offer a bridge financing. Volkswagen OEM Model EV Type Model Year Trim Battery Size...

    My Egolf will come next week

    I am in Ottawa Ontario and I was told by Myers VW in Kanata that they are expecting VW to cut their 20 E-golf allocation for 2018 down to 10. I am sitting around #10 right now and I had put the money down in early August. I wonder if they say that to create a demand and raise price.... I...

    Ontario, Canada Buying VS leasing

    Ontario, Canada Buying VS leasing

    I agree with you. The current specs are: • 35.8 kWh high-voltage battery • 50 kW DC Fast Charging, Combined Charging System (CCS) • 7.2 kW AC onboard charger The batteries will get better and hopefully cheaper enough so it translates in the car's MSRP... I cant see myself in 3 years not...

    Ottawa Canada Winter charging

    Hi Miimura, That Charge port snow cover idea is awesome. I know I will have to come up with something similar. I hope VW comes up with something made to fit there eventually... Thanks again.

    Ontario, Canada Buying VS leasing

    Good day, I am wondering if any of you did some math on the impact of that 14K incentive in Ontario with regards to the end of the Lease or Finance. If the incentive is no longer available in 2019: (we dont know) Then it seems you are paying less on a 3 year lease but you have no car at the...

    Ottawa Canada Winter charging

    Good day, I am doing my homework on the egolf. In my case, the car will be mostly charging outside in my driveway overnight. With snow in the winter and freezing rain ect... Did any of you encountered any problems with the car charge port being opened at night? Most EV charger connectors...
