John, I would strongly advise against that. First off, a timer device like that is rated at 5kW, which would be exceeded if you have a 30A circuit and the car draws the 24A it should for that circuit. Secondly, most EVSE's would rather stay plugged in to monitor parameters in the car (the pilot...

So, I started out hopeful that I had figured out the delayed charging, and had it working for a couple weeks, but just as I was becoming complacent (and not double checking to make sure that it actually stared charging at night), I woke up this morning with no more charge than I left it with...

I too was curious about the "minimum charge" setting, so I looked it up. It turns out that it's a setting that actually starts the charging immediately, even if you have it set for delayed charging, up to the level you set (e.g., 30%), but only if the battery is lower than that threshold. So if...

We've used the departure time feature to set up a delayed charge, and so far it has worked. To be honest, I'm not impressed with the usability of the app and the fact that the US e-Golf doesn't have the "Pro" version of the infotainment system which (to me is astonishing) is lacking the ability...

Yes, that is one of the features of the Car-net app. -Rachel

Hey all, I posted this as a response to someone else in a different topic, but I realized that it would be helpful as its own topic. People have been reporting leasing for various prices, but as of now, I can confirm that VW is leasing the e-Golf for $299/month and $2349 due at signing. However...

Z, this was in Monterey (actually Seaside). They're pretty cool guys, and gave us no markup, although the sticker shows a dealer fee of $1500 extra, which we weren't going to pay. They still have a white e-Golf with the black interior if you're interested. I can get you in touch with the sales...

I'm curious to know if you hear the sound from the right front fender or not. Or maybe you've never heard it if they didn't attached it correctly from the factory. I personally find the sound to be annoying, but I see the benefit of it. -Rachel

John, the out-the-door cost was $2349. We now have 35 payments of $362 and a few cents (can't remember the exact amount). The price without taxes and fees was $299/month. We also calculated the total cost of the lease, and the first offer we got included a dealer fee, that we negotiated out, but...

I realize this was posted a couple weeks ago, but for anyone reading this now, the sound that is heard ("whir of the motor") is actually a speaker mounted in the front passenger fender that is supposed to simulate the sound of an ICE at low speeds (less than 18.6 mph / 30 km/hr). The federal...

I concur with all of these answers... And I'll add a couple of comments: Online documentation and videos of the Euro model show an in-car menu in the infotainment system that is called an e-Manager. It is similar to the in-app e-manager in that you could set-up charging times, climate control...

We leased ours on the Central Coast of CA and got it at MRSP with the lease deal they have out ($299/mo, $2349 down for 10k miles/yr), but be aware that in CA, the taxes, fees, and title bring the monthly payment up to about $360 or so (depending on local taxes). VW is basically getting the...

Klusters, although most people with homes (especially those built more than a few year ago) will only have availably for a 30A circuit, to take full advantage of the fastest charging rate you can get with the e-Golf, a less common 40A circuit would be used. A 30A circuit is rated at a maximum...
