    Accidentally plugged in the charger while car was still on

    Something similar happened to me a couple times. I couldn't turn off the car. I think if you don't step on the brake it should work. I was so used to pushing on the brake because it's required to power it on that I pressed on it when trying to turn it off but when I took my foot off the...

    Extended Stats unexpectedly resets

    Yes, i've seen this too. I've had 12 resets since I got the car. Odo is at 4700 miles. Not sure what causes it and I don't really see a pattern. Sometimes it goes for as little as 3 miles. Sometimes as much as 2300 miles.

    Delayed Charging issue FIXED by software update TSB 2040470

    I'm using a Juicebox-30(it's a very basic charger, no TOU function or cool wifi stuff) and confirm it works with e-Golf departure charge. I did take my car in to the dealer to have TSB done.

    Steps to charge E golf on Chargepoint (having trouble)

    Hmm, your sequence sounds ok. I've charged at many chargepoint stations and light starts to pulsate green about a second after pressing the immediate charge button. Might be that station is bad? Have you tried other chargepoint stations?

    Steps to charge E golf on Chargepoint (having trouble)

    Is the lower button(delay mode) by charge port lit? If so, you need to press the top button(immediate mode) after plugging in. Pressing it before plugging in should also work.

    eGolf vs. LEAF

    Simple, the e-golf looks way better! Actually, I should rephrase that - it was the only "non-ugly" BEV in the price range I was looking at. Sample deal around here for LE is $159/mo + tax, approx $2500 down($3800 total drive off). 10K/year 36mo. Sounds almost equivalent if you take the...
