    Newer e-Golfs at a loss in Miles/kWh

    https://insideevs.com/news/379026/2020-volkswagen-e-golf-lower-epa-range/ In another post here, somewhere, I noted that I have test driven 5 different 2019 SEL models in the past week, and that I am struggling in around town driving to get 5.3 miles / kWh. This is in comparison to my 2015 SEL...

    High ambient temps and unusual mile /kWh

    We've had 12 days now of very high 90s to mid 100 temps during the day. I usually get on the road locally by 10:30 to 11:00, when it's hot already, for a 13 mile drive to a family members home. All surface streets, about 30 to 35 minutes most days. With this heat, my miles per kWh on the Guess...

    Thoughts on 2019 Tesla Model 3 and effect on e-Golf pricing

    Now that the $35,000 Tesla 3 is out with 220 miles range, I'm curious as to what people here think a 2019 e-Golf SEL with only 125 miles of range is going to drop to, price range wise, before Fed tax credit and anything else. What would you now look at to buy or lease, for that kind of money...

    New Honda urban e vehicle, 125 mile range debuted in Ffurt

    Interesting design. If at 6'5", I can fit in it comfortably, like I can my 2015 SEL with enough height and enough legroom, I would certainly consider it replacing my e-Golf. Honda, in general, makes excellent, super durable product, that has a high reliability factor, and the ability to...

    Fall Weather, cooler air temps = Low air tire pressure

    I keep my air tire pressure at 45 psi all the way around on my 2015 SEL. Most of August and into the first 2 weeks of Sept here in So Cal have seen 102 to 109F days. Today is pretty close to the last day of summer, and tomorrow the first day of fall. Air temps this morning were 62F. I thought...

    My 1 year review 2015 SEL

    It's been a hot summer in the Los Angeles area, San Fernando Valley in particular. I am very easy on the traction battery in my e-Golf. I have averaged 6.0 mi/kWh the past 1900 miles on my e-Golf. I have rarely averaged less than 5.5mi/kWh per recharge. I have about 7700 miles on my car, as of...

    Change in your pocket with Key Fob

    I am noticing that if I keep quarters in my right front pocket, I am more liable to get a reading saying that the Battery in my Key fob needs replacing. Nickle, dimes and penny's don't seem to affect the signal, but quarters in my pocket tend to cause the screen to read "replace the Keyfob...
