    2015 egolf chargeport collapsed/pushed-in, EVSU can't charge

    Sorry about the delayed, final followup. The VW dealership did eventually fix everything free of charge, under warranty. It effectively took them 2 weeks to fix the car. While they had the car, they never actually charged it up... so the day I picked it up, I had to limp home, and drive my...

    2015 egolf chargeport collapsed/pushed-in, EVSU can't charge

    *LATEST UPDATE* So I dropped off the car last Tuesday. Late that Thursday I got a call from the service tech that the dealership would fix everything under the warranty, but they had to special order some kind of part-cover outside their normal parts delivery process. Maybe it would be fixed...

    2015 egolf chargeport collapsed/pushed-in, EVSU can't charge

    So, tonight, the charging port on my 2015 e-golf finally broke. I've been expecting this to happen for months, tried to explain the issue to the local dealership, but none of the staff understands what I'm trying to say. Since I drove this car off the lot, the charge port has been very tight...
