That's an incredibly frustrating experience! I've never had that happen, but occasionally it will take several presses of the unlock button for the charger to release. I've noticed this usually works: press unlock once, wait a 2-3 seconds then press it again. The charging light should go off and...

While the 2015 4-door Golf got very good ratings from IIHS, they didn't actually test the e-golf. I would assume it would fare about as well as the ICE version so I'm not at all concerned, but it has not yet actually been tested. Based on the responses I've seen elsewhere here, I feel I should...

State rebate rules probably differ quite a bit by state. In California for instance you need to have the car a minimum 30 months to be eligible for the rebate. You actually get the rebate shortly after you buy the car, but you'll have to pay it back if you don't keep your car for those 30...

EVs aren't for everyone. If you need to drive far at times and you don't have an ICE in your household it may be a problem. If you don't have a way of charging your EV at home then it's a problem. Buying an EV is kind of like buying a mobile phone. Next years version is guaranteed to be better...

I've had the e-Golf for only a few weeks and I was in a similar situation as you not wanting an EV that screams "look i'm from the future". After driving a few models the e-Golf felt by far the most sophisticated and had the best handing. Didn't compare to Tesla, as it was out of my price range...

Did the electrician take care of permits? I've gotten quotes of about $250-$400 but they've wanted to add about $200 for the permits. I need the permits to get the DWP discount. Now for about $500 for installation and permit, the home level 2 charger doesn't sound as good of a deal. I also got...

When I turn off the A/C it stays off when I restart the car. Yes, the temp goes to 72 but the A/C is still off. And that's how I've used it most of the time. It will obviously change once summer really gets started here in LA :-/

Has anyone gone through the full process of actually getting a LADWP discount on the Level 2 charger? I've started the process and it's quite a pain, as it involves the following steps according to LADWP's unhelpful guide: Step 1: Consult with Car Dealer EV dealership advises customer to...

I only got traffic notifications of some other motorist going the wrong way on the 210 freeway the other day. Just like miimura, it wan't relevant as it was on the other side of town.

Yes brake lights do go on if your regen is strong enough to slow you down significantly. see this video for more info: http://knowyourvw.com/?page=video&id=44&autoplay=4826

Apart from the "classics" (USB, Charger lock, memory of temp set) PLEASE fix: - Add garage door opener. For a car with backup camera and other 'goodies' why isn't there an integrated garage door opener?? - Ability to set the charge delay FROM INSIDE THE CAR. Not via app. - Ability to remember...

Allstate quoted me $162/mo which is almost $30 more than for my 2010 BMW 335! Same level of coverage. Surprised that the e-Golf would be that much to insure. Does anyone know if that's normal for EVs to be more expensive, or can it have to do with the fact that the e-Golf has not yet been...

As someone coming from three 3-series in a row to the e-Golf I have to agree with you. The Golf doesn't feel like a big "step down" at all. In fact I prefer most of it over my 2010 335i (which I'm selling, hint hint). Where the Golf falls short vs the BMW is in the nav, the seats and the...
