I've received quotes from $1,000 to $1,500 - just for installation, not including the charger. But I have a detached garage, so we have to dig a trench thru the back yard, and lay about 50 feet of conduit and wires. What is the distance from your main electrical panel to where your charger will...

2011 Audi A5 - I only work 7 miles from home, but it takes me 30 minutes, in LA traffic. I was averaging 15 mpg, my registration was coming up, needed new tires, so I sold it and got the e-Golf. Only had it 3 days, but I'm confident I've made the right decision.

Got my e-Golf this weekend, $1,000 total out-the-door + 35 payments of $383/month (including tax, which in Los Angeles is 9%). So $1,000 + 35 x $383 = $14,405 total cost over 3 years. (10,000 miles/year) Edmunds.com has a great certificate online (put in ZIP 90024) $1,483 off MSRP. Between...

Yep - mine looks the same - what I was trying to figure out is how to check the percentage, not the miles remaining - it can be done if I log on in a desktop computer, but can't find it on the app.

I cannot seem to figure out how to display the current % of battery charge on the iPhone app. On my desktop computer it comes right up on "my dashboard", but on the iPhone app I cannot find it. Has anyone been able to figure this out?

When I signed up for Chargepoint, I've asked the same questions. They said the stations themselves are owned by the person/business/city etc. that did the installation, and they can charge any amount (or offer it free) as they choose. When you go on the Chargepoint website on the left you can...

Thanks for clearing that up. With the e-Golf only on the market a month, hopefully someone from VW will start monitoring these blogs, and listen to owner feedback. It souds like a software issue only, and can be patched with an update. You think the timer could work with the 110v trickle...

Rachel, I have zero electrical background, so this may sound silly - but would it be possible to put the electrical plug/junction box that the EVSE is hooked up to on a "timer" - kind of like a suped up Xmas light timer for 240V? See the link from Amazon below...

I took this snapshot from PlugShare on Oct. 27, 2014 - there were 8 CCS chargers showing at that time And here is a link as of today, Dec. 1, 2014 - 16 charger showing now Let's hope this list continues growing.

It looks like they temporarily redid all their "specials" for Black Friday, but they all end on December 1 (today). My guess is a "new" set of offers will be posted tomorrow that will probably run thru Jan. 1 (this is just a guess on my part but we will see in a day or two). However, if you go...

I think I've read somewhere that you can search for an destination on your iPhone, and then transfer that address to the car's navigation thru Car-Net - is this possible?

Thanks Rachel - appreciate the info!

Hi Rachel, Was the $2,349 "out-the-door" including all fees, taxes, 1st mo. payment etc? Plus 35 x $360? That would put the total 3 year ownership at 35 x $360 + $2,349 = $14,949 Is that correct, or did I miss anything? I totally agree on the many way they can hide the real cost, so I always...

In South CA it's posted as 10k/ year - here is the link: http://www.vwdealer.com/SouthernCalifornia click "View Legal" to see the fine print - "$0.20/per mile over 30,000 miles"

Does the e-Golf come with ChargePoint cards that you just have to activate? Or do you have to call and get them mailed to you?

Maybe bacause the car is so new, but doesn't $513/month sound very high? The BMW i3 (MSRP of $44,000) is being advertised at $369/ month (with $4k at signing). http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/Vehicles/2014/i3/bmwi3/OfferDetail.aspx?NAModelCode=14IA&OfferType=2&regiontypeid=2

Hi Carc, How much was your total drive-off, monthly payment, etc. etc.?

I've just checked some dealerships websites around Los Angeles - looks like Van Nuys, Pasadena, Pacific (Hawthorne), New Century (Glendale), Livingston (Woodland Hills), Alhambra, each have 1 or 2 in stock. Most have one blue and one white, with some having a silver exterior color.
