    End of Lease Inspection

    Well, did mine with them as well, except of over miles no charges, even though I have quite a few dents and scratches... Returned my car today so no EV for me for now, replaced with MB C300 as it was my wife's car. I wish VW finally learn how to put little bit useful mirrors on Golfs. I had 3...

    2016 SEL stalled on freeway

    Got word from the dealer - they can't find the issue, waiting for VW engineers to come and check it out. I wonder, since I have about 6 month left on my lease, can it be good reason to get out of my lease earlier?

    Does VW allow lease transfer?

    Well, it is allow but you still will be on the hook till the lease ends. I was about to pull a trigger on swapping mine. Found a buyer, local student, but after I figured out I will be on hook for everything (payment, insurance etc) in case of that person fail to do any of mentioned I backed...

    Calculating Cost to Charge eGolf with Solar in SoCal

    I charge my eGolf each day from about 20 miles to full at home. I'm on TOU-1 rate with separate meter (Beta Program from SCE and ChargePoint) and my bill is about $25-$30 per month. I've used 130 kWt last month. Off peak is about $.13 and OnPeak is about $.33 for summer and $.21 for winter.

    Found my battery's aging %, seems low -- or is it?

    Got some time to dig in VCDS. Well, I did not find magic number or settings yet. What I found is ability to see each cell's voltage. My car has 88 cells with 3.51-3.54 range on each. Car was not charged though. Will review this one more time. Knowing max new voltage and having this number can...

    Official 2016 VW eGolf maintenance schedule

    So, is anybody already had 20K service? What's the real price? Any alternatives so far? I have 19.8K miles on my 2015 e-Golf and shure don't want to pay $400 for this service. I can rotate tires, check brakes and stuff myself. Only thing I think to do is high Voltage batery and refuse all the rest.

    Anybody with VCDS

    I have same car but I don't have clean scan before changes. I did few changes: - folding passenger mirror on reverse - added button to turn on/off day light running lights If that is OK I can do that for you. Let me know. Do you want some specific modules maybe or all modules?

    Key Fob Battery Life

    Yea, got same message in about a year of owning my eGolf. Replaced battery and in week or so got same message... Verified that battery still has 3V of juice, not sure what's going on here. Do not do anything yet, just have spare battery handy, just in case.

    Show me your extended period mi/kWh

    Empty HOV put me into 3.3-3.7 range... Can't get any more while doing 85 mph. Never saw more then 4.3 at my screen. Sometime I even wish to stuck in traffic :) For that I just switch to regular lanes for a bit and quickly back to HOV. Looks like I have bad driving habits and now I'm not even...

    When you need more range than the e-Golf has got.

    I have similar set: e-Golf for urban needs and X5 Diesel for long trip and hauling. I don't use cruise and usually do 85-90 mph on freeway so my diesel has about 27-28 mpg. Still OK for 6K lbs truck. Can't be happier with both so far (well, longer range for e-Golf will make me even happier :) )!

    2017 e-Golf may have 30% battery increase

    Yea, that would be awesome! I wish they also make some swap-able units so current owners can benefit from that as well. If I could swap battery for twice bigger - I would keep my eGolf for a long time.

    Charger Port Lock

    No, it was not unlocked. It was on employer parking spot with charger in and when I came to remove plug after it was done I've found that other driver already did it. Usually I've got nasty note about locking charger even though I always take plug out within 10-15 min after car is done. Also...

    Car not charging at public stations that work for other cars

    My wall charger works always, so that's why I not bugging dealer too much with this and I'm more looking into those chargers. I already investigated all those that I have issues with and I tend to believe that problem is with that o-ring inside. If it's nice and fit - no problem. If it's...
