http://www.torquenews.com/1/why-vw-recommends-using-vw-egolf-battery-sparingly-when-it-comes-fast-charging "When it comes to e-Golf fast-charging VW has a statement in the owner's manual that every e-Golf driver needs to pay close attention. VW's statement about DCFC reads: “Requires charging a...

I was just over at the EVGo charger and reminded myself to look at the signage again.

Miimura is correct: CCS at 500VDC / 125A and CHAdeMO at 500VDC / 120A.

Sorry for the confusion.

Actually, currently available CCS and CHAdeMO connectors are only rated to 125 Amps. Also, most DCFC units are rated to output up to 500VDC. However, the e-Golf will only pull max current up to 80% SOC which is about 355VDC. The e-Golf goes into constant voltage charge taper at 360VDC. If a chargin...

I used my first CCS DC charger today with the eGolf. The charge rate was 20KW. This is a big improvement over the 7.2KW charger and allowed me to do 180 miles today in 30 degree weather. Does anyone know what the max charge rate is with the CCS charger? Was the car limiting it to 20KW? I checked th...

That's a sad state, but not unexpected. It's the job of the software developers to make the updates work only with the proper hardware, and in this case it looks like they didn't and probably rendered the hardware unable to process a new update. Service is doing the only thing it can which is to rep...

It'll be a while before Powerwalls come down in price enough for me to justify buying one. A long while. Solar panels would come first. As with most of these technologies, both the rate of incremental improvement and limited lifespan of the electronics tilts the economics in favor of leasing. This ...

I don't hold out much hope...Unless EVSEs come with a Mr. Fusion, that's not going to be possible. I hear what you are saying but Musk has already said that decentralized power storage is what will allow the infrastructure to keep up, and the power wall product is that idea in reality. Serializable...

The 50kwh Big kahuna's that cost $10 a charge with 50kwh capacity and charge to 80% in 20 minutes... are not the best for the longevity and life of a LiIon battery like in our e-Golf or a BMW i3. Probably not good for a Nissan Leaf with CHAdeMo 24kwh or 30 kwh battery either. Having just used an EV...

I found the same issue. It appears to be that the computer gets "confused" on starting the car. To be more precise, upon starting the car the UI has a boot-up routine that takes about 45 seconds for all functions to become available. On occasion, if you try to do too many things during thi...
