    Flo x5 evse initial observations... mixed impressions...

    Just an update which may be useful to some; My setup was a bit of an over kill but exactly by the book I ran a 6 gauge wire off of a 60 amp breaker on my main panel into a sub-panel to another section of my basement That made possible running a wire from the new sub panel off of a 40 amp...

    Flo x5 evse initial observations... mixed impressions...

    Does your router need a password to allow access to internet? What puzzles me is that all three lights on plc are constant green indication all good to go buy app is not working. And no it’s connected to power exactly as in inatructions I’m disappointed at Flo support since this shouldn’t...

    No remote app in Canada??

    I may be mistaken but my information is that the cdma cell module exists in canadian cars similar to the US spec models but vw Canada did not implement the infrastructure.

    Flo x5 evse initial observations... mixed impressions...

    So I decided to buy the Flo x5 via the dealer and although my order was firmed up a week earlier and delivery was scheduled, it arrived two weeks after I received the car!! That said, it is very well built and I’m glad to be supporting a Canadian manufacturer despite the higher than average...

    No remote app in Canada??

    You are right. I must have mistakenly seen a US brochure. That said, e-golf is the only ev without a remote app! The Volt/bolt is quite good. Hopefully they will uncripple the Canadian model as the tech is built in. I’m thinking of writing to vw Canada and give it a nudge

    ACC radar warning to some... interesting revelation

    Thanks for sharing photos. I didn’t think ahead to do before after a on mine but just the 1/4 “ apparently throws the radar off in some circumstances I discovered, and since I made it flush with the bottom of the factory installed under plate it is working as it should without any problems. I...

    Charging without WIFI

    I just installed Flo x5 last night the plc shows three green lights, I installed/activated but the web portal gives me a message pending installation??!! Charging functions work as they should but no app or web functionality. What does pending installation mean?

    ACC radar warning to some... interesting revelation

    I’m glad if it helps some. I checked other delivered VW at that particular dealership and they were all mounted flush with top of factory mount hence typically just over 1/4” below including the dealer frame they usually add!!. I mentioned it to them to revisit with all ACC vehicles not just the...

    No remote app in Canada??

    The 2017 e-golf brochure from VW Canada clearly advertises the telematics as standard equi-ment. I had my salesperson send an official inquiry for a response.

    ACC radar warning to some... interesting revelation

    So folks I’m sharing an ACC related observation that is peculiar and avoidable with an easy fix. FYI, I know a little bit about this technology, might not necessarily be a good thing but just a disclaimer... A couple of days into my 2017 e-golf and I noticed an abnormality in the acc sensor...

    E-Golf software update, Canada

    Getting familiarized with the car (first VW) and I notice the time zone section only includes Europe and certain Asian countries!! I connected car to my home wifi and initiated software update but it returns an error and asks for media (SD card etc) with software! BMW updating is quite straight...

    Flo x5

    Thanks for feedback. I too went with Flo primarily to support Canadian manufacturer and it seems like a solid product anyway. On paper the ChargePoint with wifi and 32amp seems to have an edge but I am beginning to understand the wisdom of using power line. Most garages don't have the best...

    Winter Tires - e-Golf

    Agreed. Obviously this is too new for any relevant use case info. I had a chat with salesperson when picking up and we decided to wait another month or two in case there are new revelations. I think best case scenario would be to have the same rims that come with the car with the best winter...

    No remote app in Canada??

    So, picked up my factory order today. Very pleasant experience with the salesperson, a wonderful young man and first impressions with the car are good. A couple of annoyances to note anyway... - an app to lock/unlock, start climate control, see location of car and check charge status doesn't...

    Hi folks.. I decided to go with Toronto dealer recommendation and get the flo with wifi. This is my first EV after long procrastination which landed me on the e-Golf. Here are some initial observations; - dealer knowledge on charger unit minimal - called flo customre support and although very...

    Winter Tires - e-Golf

    Thanking you for posting but I had a specific question beyond the obvious; now that we need winter tires, what is the ideal tire/rim?
