VW does not follow the J1772 protocol and keeps the connector locked in the car even when the button on the connector is pressed. VW requires you to unlock your car first and then you can remove the J1772 connector. On 2017 and later models, you have 30 seconds to remove the connector before the loc...

Yes, I hear squeaking, too. I need to try a few 40 mph panic stops (with nobody behind me) to see if it is the brake pads dragging.

I don't bring my e-Golf to the dealer for routine service (tire rotation is all, really). If you have a drive system, battery, or high voltage system problem, I wonder who else other than a VW dealer could repair those issues. I hope those issues are extremely rare for e-Golf owners.

Manufacturers put a lot of effort into specifying tires to get good fuel economy numbers, so I suspect the Ecopias are one of the the best choices for the e-Golf.

How about aftermarket parts until you get the OEM one?
