    Ev Home Charger

    Furkill, Here in the USA, eGolf came one of two ways... 1. J1772 connector 2. J1772 + CSS (DC Fast) CSS was omitted from some eGolf models here in the USA. 3.7KW/H L2 charging was a limitation of vehicles such as the Chevy Volt. But I've never seen an eGolf with a 3.7KW/H L2 limited charger...

    Tips for range on 2019 E Golf

    If you drive and take 10KWh out of the battery, charging it will take approx 110% (11KWh). This is due to charging losses. So if you use regenerative braking and place energy back in the battery (charge), you immediately lose about 10%. In summary, any time you can coast rather than take...

    12v battery being drained by charging station

    Here is a quick test. By default the 12V "cigarette lighter" sockets go OFF with the ignition. There are two of them... the other is in the trunk, right side, high up, IIRC. But you can move a fuse and override this behavior. Has your fuse been moved to change the default OFF with ignition...

    Tabs / brackets holding charging port in place broken - FYI

    Sounds like it was damaged by vandalism. I suspect if you look at your charging records you can determine where and when it happened for your insurance company. Barry

    Home charger failure???

    Before you run back to the dealer.... The device outside the car is called the EVSE. The actual charger is inside the car. The EVSE informs the car of the amount of power the EVSE is prepared to provide. The charger in the car takes this information and ensures that power consumption during the...

    Charging Issues 2018 e-golf

    The JuiceBox Pro is able to limit the KWH sent to the car in a session. They list it as a given number of miles. Are you sure you have the setting cranked all the way clockwise in the JB app? Barry

    Carplay intermittently not connecting

    WARNING: I may be stating the obvious! In order to stop iPhone contents being viewed by 3rd party organizations (the government & police) Apple made a change. The USB port only remains active for a few mins after the phone is locked. You can charge the phone after this time limit, but no data...

    Hello all - new 2018 e-Golf owner (with charging question)

    Dear Manybees, I surrender. You are indeed correct and doing what is in the best interest to your home. I however would have no issue in my home with a 40Amp eMotorWerks Juicebox 40 EVSE (yes 10KW capable) connected to a 30Amp eMotorWerks adaptor, assuming the 30Amp socket used is suitably...

    Hello all - new 2018 e-Golf owner (with charging question)

    Rd7575 These chargers can only tell voltage. When plugged into an adapter to permit utilizing a circuit of lower current capability, it is the responsibility of the user to configure either car or EVSE to limit the current drawn. Barry

    Strategic Driving for Efficiency, 2018 e-golf model

    My tip is.... remember Regen is not really your friend. Any energy you use and remove from the battery, will lose a percentage if you Regen it back into the battery. There will be inefficiency losses. Just recharging a battery takes about 110% of what you took out. I can’t prove it, but I...

    Hello all - new 2018 e-Golf owner (with charging question)

    If that be true... then how can Emotorwerks (manu for JuiceBox) sell adaptors to change the 240V 40A plug on the JB to a smaller amperage plug. They offer two 30A plugs and hell they even sell a 115V 15A adaptor << that's a clickable link to the product page. I really think you should check...

    Hello all - new 2018 e-Golf owner (with charging question)

    The maximum current from a device set to 16Amps is......... 16Amps. Else the breaker pops to protect the wiring. Are you sure about the code needing 40A ? Barry
