    Question about Rims for the eGolf

    We used the 15" steel winter tire rims from our 2000 Passat on our 2015 SEL. Offset and bolt pattern are the same or close enough.

    Traction in Snow

    We have studded General Altimax Arctic on ours. No issues getting around here in the White Mts of NH. I just put them on again yesterday as we're expecting plowable snow tomorrow night.

    Floor mats Mk7

    I called Weathertech and they said the floorpan of the egolf would require a new mold and the volume was too small to be cost effective for them. I bought the OEM rubber mats and sealed them against the carpeting with gaffers tape. I used a shop vac to keep them clean over the winter and then...

    Floor mats Mk7

    I called weathertech about this and they said the volume of egolfs wasn't enough to make new molds as the floor pan is different then the gas golf. We too bought the OEM rubber mats and used some gaffers tape from the mat onto the carpet. We used our wet/dry vac to clean them off occasionally...

    charging to 90%

    When our charge gauge indicates 100% we get no regenerative braking. When it charges to 90%, as it is once again doing, the needle is down between the 1st and 2nd tick marks on the gauge. Regenerative braking works fine then. So you are saying when the gauge indicates 100% it is only charged...

    charging to 90%

    A car-net tech called last evening to see about the status of our eGolf. For the past couple days it has once again been charging only to 90% so all is good as far as we are concerned. Tech didn't say what happened to make it correct but IMHO it was something on their end that was changed and...

    Leasing questions for the newbie

    1. Unless thing change, you can't lease or finance from VW unless you live in a state where they are presently marketed. 2. no idea, we live in NH and bought a eGolf outright (see above) but our closest dealer is in VT where they can sell/service them. 3.That's totally up to you IMO. 4. You...

    charging to 90%

    VW care called the other day asking if I was still having issues. I still am as it is still charging to 100% so they stated they are looking into it with the technical folks and will get back to me tomorrow.

    charging to 90%

    Thanks for pointing out a number of things I wasn't aware of. My point is that before a few weeks ago with 1 timer on it charged to 90% as it was set on car-net then all of a sudden it charges to 100% and I changed nothing.

    charging to 90%

    That kind of confirms my suspicions.

    charging to 90%

    So carnet called yesterday and said that the reason it's charging to 100% might be that I have the timers shutoff. Unless they recently changed parameters, that wouldn't account for the fact it used to work OK with the timers off. They told me to turn on timer 1 and see what happens. (sounds...

    charging to 90%

    All delayed charging is off and the normal green charging light is on. We don't use delayed charging as we get our power from out solar tracking array or off the grid at night, no price differential from our electric coop. I called carnet and they are looking into this for me. I'll post what...

    charging to 90%

    We've had our eGolf for about 16 months/8000 miles. We charge it to 90% using the car-net remote. The last few times we've charged it, it charged to 100% even though the charge is set to 90%. This AM I checked it and it was at 90% and not charging, exactly what it has done all along until...

    Best Winter Tires Choices?

    Getting a bit late in the season unless your in the southern hemisphere ;) Never had Blizzaks. The General Altimax Arctics studded we used were fine. Averaged 3.5mi/kwh for the winter using the heat pump with some regularity. Stock tires are back on now as we won't be driving our eGolf until...
