The gauge read 90 miles when we started driving down to Franconia today, 5 miles. When we got there it read 104 miles. Driving uphill/ sightseeing a bit and letting my much better half discover the joys of EV driving as well as "recuperative" braking we arrive home with 78 mile range having...

So we just picked up our new 2015 SEL eGolf yesterday and reading the eGolf manual I noticed the mentioned the toolkit being under the cargo area. Well we don't have one and can't even find the compressor and flat fix kit they mentioned. I'm calling the dealer now.( I know I should have checked...

We already have the a 240V/30A outlet where we plug in next to the 110V outlet and changing the receptacle isn't an issue. Why isn't the supplied 110V charger "full time" if it works for our needs? In reading the manual I didn't see anything about the 110 being only temporary. Just wondering...

I had the key in the center console behind the parking brake "lever". I'll try the other fob the next time. Seems like the battery shouldn't be weak that soon. I saw in the manual how to change it already. We'll be charging at home for free from our https://www.allearthrenewables.com/ charge...

So they delivered our eGolf about 8:30 this AM in Concord. He must have driven it a bit hard as the screen showed 3.9 mi/kWh. Knowing I93 during rush hour if your not going 70mph or more you chance getting rear ended. I charged it back up at 5.9kWh according to the ChargePoint screen at the...

Dan, the salesman at Colonial just call and is emailing me the info so I can get the Chargepoint card activated today and ready to work tomorrow when we get to the Marriott in Concord. He will be driving up I93 about 60 miles and said he plans on driving 60mph....we'll see. I intend to get...

Thanks for the help/insight JT. I'd buy you a cold one if you were at the Station tomorrow :mrgreen: . BTW I can stop at the Common Man in Plymouth if need be for a top up. http://www.plugshare.com/?location=20751#

I had planned to read the owner's manual while charging and I am aware it will take several hrs at best to get 80%. The dealer is activating the chargepoint card for us and will explain it use. Yes, the Woodstock Station certainly has much better craft brewed malt beverages( their own) then...

Thanks for the tips JT. If I understand correctly charging at level 2 at the Courtyard (they have 2, level 2 chargers) will go most quickly up to 80%. I was then planning to take Rt3, a 2 lane rd, from Concord to Tilton NH. Then get on the I93 about 20-25 miles as there are no good 2 lanes...

We pick it up Tuesday in Concord NH at the Courtyard Marriott where I can charge it before driving the last 80 miles home. The salesman is driving from Medford MA to Concord. I'm thinking of stopping in N Woodstock ( Woodstock Station) for a bit more charge just to be sure I can make it, as it...

Doubt if they pass the full $7500 to you though.

Just got this from the dealer we bought our e-Golf from, "Yes the Climate Control TT has been completed. It will now not default to 72 degrees." We pick it up in a couple weeks, after we get back to the east coast.

I already did, thanks

Just heard from Colonial VW. The recall was completed yesterday and they are still looking into the TT.

We gave a printout of the tech tip to the salesman when we made the deal and asked it to be done, we'll see when we get the car. I emailed him about the other recall when I heard about it. He is looking into it and will get back to us.

We own it now but it's still at the dealer down in MA. We're leaving for BC skiing this week and won't be back until mid April. Will get it soon after we get back. They will do the software recall before we take delivery. Meanwhile our solar tracker keeps banking kwh for us through our utility.

Thanks again for the input JT. Where we will meet in Concord NH has 2 ChargePoint level2 plugs available. The salesmen, who admitted he wasn't an eGolf expert, will consult with someone at the dealership who is, before driving up to deliver it to us. Interesting pix of your screen, especially...

So we made a deal today, $27499 out the door including everything and they will meet us half way in Concord NH. 2015 reflex silver SEL. That was as low as they would go so <20K after the federal tax credit. Wish we could have leased but we're good with this deal.

Concord is about half way but if I stop in Manchester I can go to Milly's for 1 oatmeal stout and a walk along the river, about 50 miles from Medford. Stop in Tilton for another shorter free charge, then up to N Woodstock for another oatmeal stout at Woodstock Station where they also have a...

just saw something about 0% on their website, we'll know tomorrow. There are level2 charging stations every 20-30 miles on the route home so not going below 20 miles range shouldn't be an issue. A few of the charging stations are with in walking distance of good brewpubs but I'll have to be...
