You might want to have an electrician look at the electrical circuit you're plugging into. It might not be properly grounded.

I just had my 2018 e-Golf SEL at the dealer to fix a similar issue with the AC intermittently cutting out, and they fixed it using TSB 87-17-15. Seems that this is a very common issue with most VWs produced between 2012 and 2020. Took them almost a week to complete the work on my car because they di...

I just use a USB charging adapter in the 12 v socket in the console. It has an LED readout of the voltage from the 12v battery:

Yes, our cars are now orphans. Time to start pestering VW to improve the software in the e-Golf. Things I'd like to see VW roll out: Apple CarPlay EV Routing, digital SoC indication in the infotainment system / dashboard, software update to the car so it self identifies as an EV (I am a bit tired o...

The last e-Golf has rolled off the production line at the Dresden factory, which will now be dedicated entirely to making the id.3. So this marks officially the end of the e-Golf product line.

You can't "start" the car remotely. The only things you can do remotely are start/stop climate control and window defrosting, lock/unlock doors, and begin/end charging. If the key fob's battery dies, there's a tiny little slot underneath the left side of the door handle that you use to pry...

I just don't see how it would be possible to average above 6 miles/kWh over the long term, unless maybe you're always driving downhill. Over 7 seems impossible in any sort of normal driving situation. Maybe you mean kilometers/kWh? The best I've ever done for a single driving session was 6.3 miles/k...

I have one of these, too, that I use in New England winters when snow, sleet, or ice is in the forecast. Keeps the charging port from filling up with ice and snow. Very handy and highly recommended for anyone who regularly charges outside in cold weather.

The theoretical max DCFC rate of the e-Golf is not 50 kW.

I don't know if it's correct, but the specs given at this link say that the max DC charging rate is 50kW:

Thank you for your detailed answers! If I understand right, you say that I could theoretically plug my car straight to the grid (I'm living in Switzerland where we have 240V AC singe and 400V AC tripple phase) and pull up to 40 A from the single phase, which would amount to the 7.2 kW I noticed ? O...
