    delayed charging button

    To those of you who have delayed charging working consistently: Do you need to press this button every time you plug in for the night? I have a schedule in place and when I plug in the delayed charging light is on and pressing the button doesn't seem to do anything, so I assume it's not...

    Max level for immediate charging

    You can achieve this by enabling a delayed charging schedule and setting the minimum charge. If you don't use delayed charging, just enable it for a single date far in the future. In the delayed charging settings of the mobile app you can adjust "minimum battery charge level (percentage). When...

    Charges completely instead of delaying

    I went back to the dealer yesterday and had them re-apply the settings from the TSB. So far delayed charging is working much better, and changing the charge schedules from the app work much better. Schedule changes occur within ~30 seconds most of the time. Schedule changes were taking up to...

    Does the E-Golf fit my commute?

    I love mine for my 80 mile per day round trip commute! If you can keep your round trip closer to 80 miles you should be able to get by without charging at work if you want. My commute is 40 miles each way and I have been getting along great without charging at work during warmer weather. I...

    Charges completely instead of delaying

    I have changed my schedule to every day, and it only works for the following morning. It shows next departure time as 5:00 AM tomorrow morning and it delays properly and completes on time. The next day it goes back to no "next departure time.." and when I plug it in it charges fully and ignores...

    Delayed Charging issue FIXED by software update TSB 2040470

    Lithium ion batteries are not very stable at 100% and leaving them fully charged for long periods of time affects their longevity. Topping off is also not recommended for the same reason, and this is noted in the manual that you should not repeatedly start charging at above 98%. This is the...

    multiple departure times

    When I have separate schedules set for weekdays and weekends, it does not work. It always seems to say "NEXT PLANNED DEPARTURE TIME:" as the first day of the NEXT schedule and not the current day. Examples: I have Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu schedule for 5 AM and a Fri, Sat, Sun schedule set at 9 AM...

    Charges completely instead of delaying

    I checked a couple of hours later and "Next departure time" changed to Friday even though the current schedule is Monday-Thursday. I'm discussing that issue here: http://www.myvwegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=341 But rather than wait until Friday to charge, it decided to ignore the...

    Charges completely instead of delaying

    Thanks. I have cleared cache, data, uninstalled & re-installed the app. Seems to be showing "next planned departure time" a little more reliably now. That screen doesn't seem to refresh unless there's an actual change in status, which is fine but gives you the feeling that it doesn't work...

    Charges completely instead of delaying

    Delayed charging worked once but not the past two nights. It just charges until full rather than delaying. I have my minimum set to 50% so it should charge to 50% and stop until delayed charging kicks in. (The reason I use 50% is because I can't depend on Car-Net delayed charging) Most of the...

    Why EV?

    I would say not necessarily. I usually negotiate the purchase price first, then during finance negotiation I choose lease vs. buy. Even when I plan to purchase a vehicle I usually end up leasing first because the effective interest rate is usually near 0 (0.4% for my e-Golf). The added benefit...

    multiple departure times

    Thanks, that's helpful. Does the car need to be locked? I don't usually lock it when it's in the garage, but maybe that's causing some problems for my delayed scheduling. And if I missed these instructions somewhere feel free to refer me to them. I thought I had read all of the instructions.

    multiple departure times

    UPDATE: This issue was resolved by the website updates and mobile app updates in July. Anyone have this working? Even though I have M-F set for 5AM departure time, the status screen shows that the next scheduled charge is Sunday. I've tried several combinations of schedules, but it always...

    Disconnecting the 12v battery

    Yes, my health report came back all green check marks today. I did the dirty deed (12V disconnect) a few days ago. Everything's good now but I couldn't use my cruise control during the first drive. It worked on the second drive though.

    Yes, see this post for more details http://www.myvwegolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=303

    Disconnecting the 12v battery

    Welcome! I was just reading about this subject in the owner's manual last night and what you describe seems consistent with the expected behavior. Glad to hear it helped! I had some connections problems after activating Car-net too, but they were able to initiate some sort of reset from their...

    Loud thunk when going from R to P

    I noticed that when you are switching from R to P after completely stopping you can feel the torque still on the gears, so it feels sort of like popping a car out of gear under load without pushing in the clutch. Depending on how the parking pawl is lined up with the teeth that it has to pop...

    Loud thunk when going from R to P

    This happened again yesterday.. when I moved the shift lever into Park a little too quickly after backing into a parking space.. apparently I was still travelling -0.1 MPH at the time. :oops:

    Request for input re: ac/de-celeration glitches

    I have also noticed some weirdness after changing from B to D. Sometimes I get a slight surge when deceleration which is dangerous and unnerving. Other times I have had it actually regenerate when letting off the accelerator pedal in D. To reproduce the surge, drive in B mode for a while, and...

    Loud thunk when going from R to P

    I have had this happen as well, but only a few times. I'll take note of what I was doing if it occurs again.
