    e-Golf. Will it family? 4up or 5up?

    Normally I'm the only rider but occasionally I fit five. Two adults up front, three kids in the back...of those three, one rides on a Recaro 5 point booster seat combo.

    8 Stall ChargePoint CHAdeMO+CCS site online in Mountain View

    It's so beautiful, we want one down in SoCal! Specifically the San Fernando Valley but we'll take 'them all over. Speaking generally, I believe we've certainly outgrown the two stall strategy in California, especially in the LA and Bay areas. More often than not there are two cars already...

    Whole Foods really needs to blow their parking lot...

    I recently read an article on "charging rage" from the New York Times...according to the article and my own opinion judging on the number of EVs I'm seeing, the lack of chargers are gonna create a large problem if the infrastructure doesn't catch up to the EV sales volume. I don't know how NY...

    Whole Foods really needs to blow their parking lot...

    I like the "shame" idea...but folks who do that kinda crap are plain shameless, they just don't care, raised wrong, millenials, jerks and very few actually did just forget to unplug...you choose the reason shaming them doesn't matter. I'll tell you what would matter, hit their pocket. Here's...

    e-Golf dead day 1

    Your experience must suck quite badly... There's a post here somewhere of a fella who had the same misfortune, I hope your issue is resolved quickly and that it doesn't repeat. I recall that the fella who posted ended up getting reimbursed for all the payments as his issue surpassed the CA...

    Whole Foods really needs to blow their parking lot...

    I'd recommend you use the PlugShare app, its fairly accurate in informing you on charger status'. To your comment - yes, there are substantially more Leafs compared to eGolfs...we'll catch up sometime as the eGolf is currently a better car when compared to the Leaf. If the Leafs upset you...

    Tire pressure?

    My door column has a label that reads "41 PSI" is the the recommended front and rear pressure, I've heard of eGolf owners getting vehicles with tires other than the Continentals my vehicle comes with and so maybe there are different variations of the label...push comes to shove, stick with what...

    Compatible brands of Level 2 240V home chargers for e-Golf

    I've not heard of any level 2s that don't work - to answer your question, members have mentioned everything from the standard Siemens chargers (they're kinda ugly) as well as JuiceBox (full of extras but also not pretty), Chargepoint Home, Blink Home (those 2 are pretty)...the siemens and the...

    Good to know Americans are getting some manufacturing jobs out of it.

    The start of the death of VW USA?

    The Diesel was my plan B vs. the eGolf, money and rep wise it'll suck for VW, for us customers that DON'T have a Diesel...good news! Super cheap Diesels are coming! My opinion, (notice I said "opinion") this emissions thing in some sort of business espionage thing, think about it...how would...

    e-Golf DC Fast Charging

    Thanks Miimura - update on the BTCs, still no fix; BTC was very responsive at first about the fact that their chargers don't work with eGolf's but have now gone dark...no response from them in over a month. Silver lining (if there is one), EVGO is no longer saying that the problem is with the...

    Hybrid System Failure

    Sounds like your chance to get a 2016 model bud! I'm fairly certain they'll oblige...better a satisfied "after issues resolved customer" than an unsatisfied one...besides, you'll keep on paying into VW - word of mouth pays/costs big time with newer models...they also don't want to take a car as...

    Long range batteries in e-golf

    Quite interesting - that would blow my hopes of a 200mile 2018 model out of the stratosphere!

    Warning Light without a text Explanation?

    I had pretty much the same thing happen this morning, freaked me out - i turned off the car and then restarted it, yellow triangle with exclamation light went off and has not come back on. I ran a vehicle health report and it all shows green so I don't know what that was about but will keep an...

    Trade in 2015 for a 2016

    I'd rather wait for the 2018 200 mile model...(if I wish hard enough it'll happen) BTW- I called VW and they sent an MDI lightning cable for free as a "token of gratitude" for being a customer. Also, after the Sirius trial was over, I purchased a 32GB microSD card to hold a boatload of music...

    Maintenance Schedule

    s4Alex - where did you pay $199 for a VW eGolf Service Plan? I'd like to contact them and buy one asap as I think they'll fly off the shelf at that price!

    Maintenance Schedule

    Buy the "plan" - it covers 20K and 30k for $500 (save $100); my opinion on doing it yourself, its an electric, I've never maintained an electric motor/drive and so I'd rather pony up $500 and not $5000 or worse if the electric motor/drive fail due to "improper maintenance"

    Loud thunk when going from R to P

    I've had this happen to me twice - exactly as explained, backed up and then placed on shift lever on P...loud, "thunk" noise, anyone taken to VW yet to ask what the deal is?
