Should we talk with the admin and have him add a link to http://www.ElectricVehicleWiki.com where we could add all of the info, similar to what is on the Nissan Leaf forum?

Electric Vehicles are still a new thing to many people, and they just want to compare electric range and cost - I think that's why Volkswagen has come out with the stripped down SE version. People that want a entry level EV with X number of miles for X cost will then be able to compare it with...

According to InsideEvs, there is a new VW campaign for the electric Golf with the tagline "One Drive and You'll Almost Forget It's Electric" and it's caused some strong reactions among EV owners. From http://insideevs.com/volkswagen-e-golf-tagline-one-drive-youll-almost-forget-electric/...

Full cargo space is one of the things I love about the e-Golf! Fox News is overall quite impressed with the electric Golf Full article: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2014/11/23/2015-volkswagen-e-golf-test-drive/

Volkswagen reports selling 119 e-Golf electric vehicles in the US in November 2014. Looks like the e-Golf is going to start taking a chunk out of the 'other' EV's sales!

The video asks how the e-Golf stacks up against other electric vehicles like the Ford Focus Electric, Nissan Leaf, and Fiat 500e http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OczqMbWB63I

If they'd hurry up and start delivering them in North America they'd sell a bunch more than they are right now ;) Good point about the base model vs full loaded e-Golf.

Business Week recently reviewed the Volkswagen electric Golf - and called it "The Boring Brilliance of VW's New Electric Golf". One of the comments the reviewer made is how the e-Golf dash doesn't light up with leaves and butterflies if you drive efficiently - it simply has a needle that goes...

Thanks for posting the pictures! That stinks, but at least they are planning on getting them in...

Hi Sureway, Very interesting, thanks for posting your findings on the forum! Do you think the noise was extra wind/road noise (due to higher coefficient of drag etc) or was it motor noise? Also, what do you mean low-profile with the current batter size on the S trim?

Thanks for sharing this Ron, great info here!

Here is where the online auction took place (it's closed/over/done) https://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/634000

Once the e-golf is available, or nearing available, as press releases increase, we'll see traffic and members increase - it happens that way all the time. I think there are lots of Volkswagen fans that will be very interested in this electric vehicle.

I was hoping that no news was good news... but thanks for confirming! I had assumed this would be the case since the battery pack is under the rear seat and cargo area (where the spare tire typically is located).

Not really the best review, since they complain about range anxiety and increasing availability of charging stations, but don't even mention the convenience of charging at home. On top of that, they don't even mention the biggest differences between electric and internal combustion vehicles...

Definitely a unique look for the e-Golf and GTE wheels, but also better aerodynamics because of less open wheel space inbetween the 'spokes' of the wheels. Here are the pictures for reference Here is the e-Golf wheels: And here are the Astansa wheels:

Let us know when you hear back!
