Probably better as the 2016 was an SE without DC fast charge. Got my bill today from VW, they took off the key on the bill (No calling needed but it was documented as a $0 charge) Paid the check and I am done! Have fun folks!

April is when the Kia and Hyundai 200 mile cars are coming out. Don't look at a Bolt as the rebate is phasing out.

The gasket was supposed to be removed by the dealer. I had one too. I showed the dealer and he just threw it away.

I saw at the dealer a 2016 White eGolf SE with Red stickers, so you have to tell them that your stickers were issued after 1/1/17. They won't give them automatically because they look at model year.

So just to post my experience returning my eGolf Got the Pre-inspection (Windshield $350) Of course ignored the letter from VW that said I can turn in on Jan 5th because my registration expires on Dec 22 and I did not want to pay $500 for two weeks of car use. Drove into my dealership, (no...

Brand New eGolf comes with mispelled expletive. https://jalopnik.com/brand-new-volkswagen-arrives-at-dealer-and-drops-an-f-b-1831242214 Look at the display, that's an e-Golf.

cctop - That's a rock in the caliper, I had one last year. It sounded like brake scraping at low speeds. johnnylingo - I don't know if you still need a VW , but I see that there are a few specials going on right now. On http://ev-vin.blogspot.com/ the 2018 is going for $250 with about $3k...

As my eGolf goes back in 30 days I found a few interesting things. You are going back to December? Did you have it inspected yet? if Not, GO NOW. Inspection is cheaper when it's pre inspection (Before you turn in) instead of Post Inspection. Pre inspection is Free BTW The only time this...

Time for my car to go back (In Dec) since I was under the 90 day limit I got it inspected. Here's my charge/issue list: Big Ding - No Charge (Under golf ball size) Small Ding but deep - No Charge Non Matching 4th Tire - No Charge (Got a blowout and they replaced it with a Bridgestone but not an...

saw this at walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sportsman-Gasoline-4000W-Portable-Generator/46542324?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227034047996&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=72454860032&wl4=pla-140395468112&wl5=9031539&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=46542324&wl13=&veh=sem 10 hours...

Yes it can be done. Will it give you any more miles? Only in a downhill. All uphill driving will then eat more energy than before. Unless the Generator has the ability to decouple during acceleration. But then that 'decouple' should be taking up energy in a stop n go situation. So...

When I got this exact noise (A scraping while driving) It turned out to be a pebble got between my brake caliper and the rotor. Cost me $65 at the dealer to get it out.

Just an Update about the Kia So far this car is probably the best of the 3 EV cars I've had. Software is up to date. Works incredibly well with CarPlay Gets 93 (Well..that sucks) The App integration is incredible. The infotainment is top notch. The mirrors fold in automatically. Fits in the...

Seen on a Toyota Rav EV. Note : This is for the Chademo charger, the Level 2 Charging port is on the right rear. Link if you can't see it https://ibb.co/mxv1en OMG He has to open his hood every time to plug in the Chademo?

my 20k (Which I only got last week) included testing the system and checking for any updates (none). Cost to me $65. As a side note, I bought the car in with a squealing brake, turned out a rock lodged right between the caliper and the disc. They took care of it for free.
