    Car not charging at public stations that work for other cars

    Definitely not full of junk as it perfectly clean and working for some stations, like today, station 3 at my work - worked right away and no issue. Defective - different story, just need to prove it to my dealer. Will try to make a case with them as it's very hard to get spot for me at work...

    Car not charging at public stations that work for other cars

    I don't have any schedule set up as I don't have a charger at home, I don't even have plug in our garage as I live in apartment. So, no, I did not push any buttons. How it works - I put charger in, and lock the car. If everything is OK charging starts as soon as car and charging station...

    Car not charging at public stations that work for other cars

    You are not along with this. I have exactly the same problem - I can't use all charging station. I'm in SoCal so I doubt that temperature is the factor. This happen just today with about 70F and yesterday, with about 85F. I can put charger in, it clicked and I hear that car tries to start...

    My review of the various Pay Chargers around the area (SOCAL

    I would put: "Nothing beat free chargers at work", in case you have one. My experience with SoCal chargers somehow similar. Work: free if you can get spot Volta: free if you have time to get a spot NRG: so far is the most expensive by $.49/kWt. WattStation - mostly $1-$1.5/hour, my apartment...

    How much power does the heater use? 600W!

    I did turn it few time when driving and available mileage dropped exactly in the half. That thingy likes energy for sure. Good thing I don't need to use it but I started to feel bad for those who own eGolf in colder states...

    Frequent Charging?

    Driving in B or D should be based on you commute/drive. When I doing morning commute at about steady 85 mph there's no any benefits of using anything except D, times I need to use brake or coast is minimal. When I'm doing evening commute in stop and go around 20-25 mph I'm doing D2 or B to...

    I have full channel maps (it shows whatever is exists and value for that) on my laptop for my eGolf that I've got from VCDS at home I will try to search for those. Will post it here later on. That would be nice thing to monitor for sure. I'm going to my 10K service soon so I will ask to give...

    What VCDS cable works?

    I'm not sure about checking battery with VCDS, did not have much time to play with that. I had cable from my other Golf, and I used that to made some tweaks like Day light off, dipping right mirror etc. Will check it out some day and let you know. Thanks!

    What VCDS cable works?

    Cheap cable will not work as it comes with very old soft. eGolf is supported only from the most resent release of their app. Look up this forum, I did ask this already. You need Release 15.X (15.7 is the latest) of the soft and at least Micro Can interface. That's my setup that works.

    Charge plug not locking at all

    Please share results of your finding with VCDS. I also have same issue at my workplace - as soon as it's done and 5-10 min passed I have nasty note on my windshield, even though I always take it off the spot as soon as I can (5-10 min in average) after charge...

    September e-golf sales 343, down from 381...pathetic

    They need to break by EV and BEV sales for cars that have that option (like i3). I bet most of that is BEV that's for now more practical with current situation with chargers. Most of i3 I saw on my commute have green stickers (meaning it's BEV).

We have free charger close to my home and once in a while I use it to charge when I'm out and can't make it to work. Today, i came there again, nobody around, 5am. Put it on charger and left. At home...

    VW e-Golf versus BMW i3

    I had same two cars on my list and as previous poster noted - I have to put 2 car seats in the back so I really just checked i3 and not even drove one as it fell out based on not having true rear door. i3 looks cool, like future car but it's has specific target - solo or duo commuter car, not...

    Does your eGolf fail to charge sometimes?

    I already posted it in other thread but I have same kind of issue but I would say with rate way higher then 1 of 100, more like 7 of 10 times. It started after cord replacement at my employer's garage. There's a good click but sometime locking pin can't secure plug. Also, if you stay quiet you...
