The best thing VW could do is to allow charging in three-phases current. It will reduce timing down to 4 hours. All competitors do offer this mode.This is the only "black point" I underline with this car. Extending range will make the car more expensive and add tremendous weight that could...

I used for the second winter time the tires I got from my Volvo C30 D5 i.e. Kleber Krisalp 205x16* and did not notice remarkable change in range : around 18kw/h / 100km versus 16kwh/100km with original wheels and tires. My egolf is now about 24.000km and celebrated 2 years last december.Most of...

Did not see anything on that topic in Belgium. My dealer does not know about that range increasing. However, they said (not officially) that a manufacturing plant is being created in germany just to produce battery - instead of buying from third-party - and should be a joint-venture with Tesla?

Did someone try to charge an e-golf on a tesla super charger ? To the best of my knowledge the plug is the same although the current is more important. In other words, what would happen if I plug my eGolf on a Tesla charger? Would appreciate all comments on this. e-Golf 2014-12 - 12,500 km

Same over here : it starts about 10-15 min before setting time. However, a few issues encountered : climate contol did not start although properly programmed through the screen - not via the pc application I do no longer use.

If I do not pay for suscribing - about 170,00 eur/year in Belgium what I do feel very expensive - what about the data ?Are they still transmitted to VW ? Meaning the company has all data related to car usage, localization , traject ans so one. I do consider this as an intrusion in private life...

The cord must be ordered when buying the car. At least this is the case in Belgium : it is not supplied if not ordered with the car. Even more, if you intend to connect on public quick charge you have to add a 585,00 eur surcharge to get the cable and the circuit in the car. Moreover, you have...

Must say that beside these ennoying software things, the e-golf is very funny to drive, enough power, silent... it costs about 4 euros/100 km and I do not regret the amount of money I put in it.I 'm pretty sure VW will fix it. I keep my confidence in this brand, I drive a T5 as well with full of...

Read in a magazine that eGolf just surpassed Nissan Leaf in number of cars sold in Europe in first two months : 2150 eGolf against 1750 Leaf... Renault Zoé is close to Leaf with 1695 cars.Nervertheless, 5595 e-cars in two months is nice! No need to say that Norway is the best market for eGolf...

Now that temp is around 15-18°c during the day, ECO plus does show 190-195 km at full charge. About 2-3 km between ECO & ECO+. Assume it's due to climatisation. However, in ECO+, engine power is very low. Have reached 5000km by now.Sound good if we do accept the range limitation, known as from...

To the best of my knowledge, autolock after a few minutes is a standard feature by VW as this happens with my T5 as well.This is not available to settings, but should not happen when keys are on the steering column or in te car. If you leave the keys by exemple on the seat, and close the door...

@neilblanchard : there is an USB port in the glovebox, just beside de SD-card receptacle. At least on european cars .

Hy guys, drove now about 4.000km in two months. Now that temperature is a little bit high, ( 3 to 8 deg C°) max range is around 165 km and really done ! Not on highway of course where 100 km is the max at a speed of 100km/h, provided set on ECO - awaiting better climate condition to test ECO +...

Same issue with the climate control here in Belgium : it always reset auto to 22,5 C°. I did notice it to the VW network... with same reply .. same issue with the ECO or ECO plus system which turns back to normal, as well as the GPS audio volume which goes back to low when ignition is off. It...

Very surprised you are disappointed. Living in Belgium we had an evening minus 4 C° a few days ago with ice on windshield and some frost inside : a few second after pressing button, screen was defrosted in & out ! The only car I owned with a so impressive defrost system was a Volvo.However, I...
