Problem is solved after a lot of attempts with pressing the brake with repeated ignition presses. After several unsuccessful tries it finally turned off the ignition and then I was able to remove the charger. Seems like this must have been a random computer glitch.

I stupidly tried to start the car before disconnecting the charger, but now I cannot recover. Ignition is on and I cannot turn it off. Clicking key or repeated pressing ignition button do not do anything. Charger is locked and pressing unlock on the key fob has no effect because the ignition is on. ...

Still using the original Varta AGM

1. the car was not locked most of the time, just sitting in the garage and getting charged when necessary 2 and 4. I did not keep close track of numbers, but typically when the range got down to 30-40 miles I would plug in the level 2 charger and after a few hours it was up to 60-80, This was consis...

My 2016 SEL got a new set of tires for Christmas so I had to reset the tire pressure monitor setting. About the same time this was done I started to notice a loss of range while the car was parked in the garage. The guess-o-meter dropped 5-10 miles a day. Power was off and there were no visible or a...

Driving my 2016 SEL I have started to wonder how the motor speed and torque are controlled. My simple concept is that the speed (RPM) of a DC motor is more-or-less proportional to voltage and the torque proportional to the amps, but this is obviously naive. The e-Golf speed varies over a wide range,...

You are missing something obvious unless the 2018 is radically different from the 2016. Forget car-net and look at the e-manager options on the car menu. You set the departure time and % charge. The start time is computed by the car based on the state of charge. As far as I know it will start before...

Welcome to the MA e-Golf owners group, which is pretty small compared to CA.

You should be able to achieve your charging objective in off-peak hours using the car's e-manager. Just set your departure time for 5 a.m. or whatever is the end of the off-peak hours.

My 2016 SE only has 6k miles, but it will be two years old in December. It's never been back to the dealer for service. I'm wondering if there are any concerns about the warranty if I wait another year or two. I have read and re-read the warranty/maintenance manual, which is ambiguous on this issue....

I second the motion, would greatly appreciate if there's a download available for the 2016.
