Not a lot of activity here on this forum as of late. Hoping some of you can chime in and share your thoughts on the following. I've been reading about some buyers scoring good deals on new 2019's at dealers desperate to move inventory. Along with the Fed\State rebates I'm thinking a 2019 can be...

Ok. Let me see if I have this. My Clipper Creek HCS-50P is hardwired with a black, red and green and terminate in a junction box where we tie into a 50AMP back to the main panel. You guys are saying that I can use this device by passing either the Black or Red through the coil. Can I do this...

I just watched a very informative video on yT published by VW TV - Learning Services Technical. It's a deep-dive on the eGolf. I'm sure many of you have already seen it but if you haven't... I highly suggest that you spend 10 mins and watch it. https://youtu.be/hFTP0OEhI-g FYI - The recording...

What kind of springs did you install? I want to do the same. Help me Obi Wan.

Can someone tell me more about adding a 2nd electrical meter which is dedicated to the EVSE? Have any of you gone this route? I'm told this allows owners to delineate exactly how much they are paying to charge their car. The local utility supplies the 2nd meter and you pay an electrician to...

Thanks guys...I also found this article from Santa Monica VW. It covers the eGolf's Delayed Charging features

I'm curious to know if the eGolf's charger can communicate with the EVSE. Specifically, I'd like to know what happens once the eGolf is fully charged but the EVSE is not unplugged from the vehicle. Can the eGolf communicate with the EVSE and tell it to "stop charging". My question stems from my...

Perfect. Thanks miimura. Just the information I was looking for. I agree that going with a higher-amperage EVSE is the best bet. I see that you have run two different EVSE vendors. Can you share your thoughts? The ClipperCreek is not a smart EVSE and I want to understand the ramifications of...

Yea. That confused the heck out me for a few. I didn't recall writing that! Very interested in hearing more about your statement Do not over buy your EVSE. Even with a 40A EVSE the car will only charge at 30A. A 30A EVSE on a 40A circuit is fine. Actually the Clipper Creek is rated...

Hi JoulesThief. Thank you for your post and sharing your story. I am paying .21¢ for Tier 1 and 23¢ for Tier 2 per KWh. I was just reading on the SDGE site that if I am not in Tier 3 then I most likely do not need to participate in a TOU plan. But the figures forbin404 quoted above makes me...

Thanks for all of the great information and guidance miimura. I'm primarily in Tier 1 & 2 san TOU is probably not best for me.

Tremendously helpful. Thank you Barry.

Almost all of the sources I have consulted state that for the time being it's best to lease EVs only. Do not purchase as their value plummets. I tend to agree and when I look at used EVs it seems very evident that this is the case. Now, I just saw this '15 eGolf SEL with 7k miles for 20K on...

Thanks. Did you apply and receive this rebate? I'd like to know oh much I can rely on including the rebate into my calculations. I don't trust it unless it's in my hand.

Yes. These figures are inclusive of all taxes. 223.25 is the final payment.

I heard back from Mossy VW in El Cajon, CA. The final offer is a '16 eGolf, DCFC, 7500m for zero down and $223.25 per/mo. First month due on pick up. BTW - for those of you in CA - that $2500 rebate has newer, more restrictive income thresholds. Don't assume you'll qualify.

I have a 6.8kW solar array. I'm in year one and just trued-up for $49.00 where I paid $3200.00 for electricity costs in the year prior. Once I get my L2 EVSE installed and start charging my eGolf, I'll be using more electricity. But how much more is the question. We roughly factored an EV in...

I just spoke with my local dealership. I told him I'm ready to sign if he gets me the 16' eGolf, FC, 7500m, with zero down at $185.00 for 36. Whaddya think? Let's see how desperate they guys are. He mentioned that since I have an '06 Jetta TDi manual I am eligible for the loyalty program...

Fellow e-Golfers. Thought I'd share the details on what I was recently offered. I'm OTF about leasing a 16' or waiting. What I'm waiting for I'm not entirely sure - increased range? 2016 e-Golf SE | White 7500 Miles per year Fast Charger [7.2kW] 204 per month with 1K down or 234 per month...
