    Car shuts off when I exit

    I agree one option would be to use Car-net...but it would be nice to be able to leave the car running while not sitting in it without the app as sometimes these things cannot be prescheduled. The key can remain in the vehicle and it still shuts off when sensing the driver has exited. I feel...

    Car shuts off when I exit

    Hi all, We've had our eGolf now for over 2 months and I must say its quite a step up from our Ford Focus Electric that was traded in for it. Its not a home run in our eyes though. I'm not sure its a better vehicle overall when comparing it to our 2012 Leaf. The main issues we've had are with...

    Charging in New York City

    Level 2 home charging experiences

    Any L2 unit should work but you should check with the manufacturer of the EVSE to confirm. For instance I know that the Rav4 EV had some issues with certain EVSE's.

    VW lease price is $299 per month

    Hi Ron We test drove the Urano gray, it was sold the day before but they still let us drive it. I wasn't a fan of the color. It seemed dark, flat and without much character but these things are so personal. We were asked to select our top three colors, that one was not among them.
