    "Warning: Electrical System Malfunction"

    I got a warning message like that the other morning. I first heard a "ding" when I unplugged the charger. I looked inside, and saw that warning on the instrument panel. I coiled up the cord, and went back to read it again, but it was gone. However, when I opened the driver door, it dinged...

    NRG EVGo account statement spam

    Did anybody else get a barrage of duplicate emails of their monthly account statement? I got 14 last night! Plus, they charged me for a failed DC charge. (Fresh n Easy on Tasman in Sunnyvale, CA) I find it odd that they don't have a "my account" section of their website. ChargePoint's online...

    Key out of range error

    I've had the car for about 5 weeks now, driving it every day. During two drives, out of approximately seventy, I have gotten "key out of range" errors. It didn't just happen once during those two drives. It would happen every few minutes until I arrived and stopped the car. In both cases, the...

    NAV Destinations via Car-Net?

    I've sent a bunch of destinations to my car via Car-Net. (It's so much easier than typing into the Nav itself.)

    After a few weeks with the car, I'm seriously considering not getting an L2 charger for the house. My commute is short, and there is plenty of time overnight to charge it up with the L1 charger. There are also a plethora of L2 chargers in the area, as well as at my workplace. And, there is even...

    LED Bulb Replacement

    I'm wondering if anybody has swapped out any of the few incandescent bulbs in their e-Golf for LED. I don't mean swapping out the entire taillight assemblies, as my car is leased, and that ain't gonna happen. But, I was contemplating swapping the brake and taillight bulbs, and the cargo and...

    Coolant

    I couldn't help but notice the coolant reservoir and radiator. What exactly is liquid-cooled in the e-Golf? I know they were toying with the idea of cooling the batteries, but decided against it. Does the motor get hot enough from friction to require it? Or, is it one of the electronic components?

    Continental Tires seem to drift

    Does anybody else feel that the steering accuracy of the OEM Continentals are not the best at high speeds? Instead of going in a perfectly straight line, like riding on rails, it seems to drift a bit, sometimes left and sometimes right. I noticed a similar effect with my SportWagen TDI, also...
