Does it work without any of the timing settings?

I have a 2" Ecohitch on our Bolt EV - these are excellent, and worth the cost. They are the packaged the best of any of the hitches - my brother works for UPS, and he has seen them all. Everybody else's packaging is weak, and gets beat up.

We have a 2017 (same 35.8kWh pack) and we see as high as 190 miles in the summer. In the winter, if it is in the 20F and up, we see as low as 120-130. If the temps drop into the low teens or single numbers, it goes down as low as 90-94, because the battery has to warm itself. We have the...

I had this happen once as well - some charging plugs leave stuff behind. You have to pull them out.

We are using Nokian Hakka R3 winter tires - they have excellent grip in ice and snow (and even on dry pavement). Best of all, they are equal to the Ecopia tires for rolling resistance.

Having the direct heating windshield defroster is a excellent thing. It really saves range when driving in the winter. The next generation will have a super thin layer of silver inside the glass, so it won't have the little wires.

I am another person who would LOVE to own an ID.3.

We live in eastern Massachusetts.

Our 2017 e-Golf SE is averaging 5.6 miles / kWh over almost 2,000 miles. That is 4 drivers - we almost exclusively use D all the time. Coasting whenever you can is the most efficient way to drive.

I have had two e-Golfs - 2015 SEL and 2017 SE and the seats are probably the best of any car I have ever owned. I am 6'-4" and 230 pounds.

VW is going to reveal their all new ID.3 in September, and deliver them in 2020 to buyers in Europe. There are 3 battery pack capacities: 45kWh 330 km (205 miles) WLTP range 58kWh 420 km (261 miles) WLTP range 77kWh 550 km (342 miles) WLTP range https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Tqw9LX3QE...

I think a 30A (or 32A) unit needs to be on a 40A cable and breaker. We have our 40A (JuiceBox Pro 40) on a 50A circuit.

Yes, they will build the I.D. (aka Neo?) in a year or so. https://insideevs.com/volkswagen-i-d-prototype-videos/ After that, the I.D. Crozz - which will be the first to be sold in the US. Then the I.D. Vizzion (I think that's how it is spelled?). And the I.D. Buzz - which is an awesome...

The first electric vehicle based on the new VW platform will be the I.D. Crozz, in 2020. https://www.motor1.com/news/222850/vw-id-crozz-us-2020/ 201HP rear motor and 101HP front motor - so four wheel drive.

You have to learn how to coast in the i3, and you have to work at it.

We have a 2017 SE, and with 3 drivers, we are averaging 5.7 miles / kWh over that last 900+ miles.

You can push the locking pin in, to be able to unlock the charging cable. And you can try to buy a replacement battery at a store you can walk to? There is also a mechanical key to unlock the driver's door.

The 60kWh Bolt EV LT is essentially the same cost as the e-Golf SEL, with it's 35.8kWh pack.

Tires make a big difference. Our 2015 SEL came with Continental tires, which were not great for rolling resistance. Our 2017 SE has Ecopia tires, and they are excellent for rolling resistance. Aerodynamic drag is huge - the aero wheels that come on many e-Golf's are almost ideal. The...

That doesn't make sense - a 200-300 mile EV and a 125 mile EV, that are otherwise nearly the same.
