For the price an Egolf out the door for $8k-12k you just cant beat it. I also bought one 4 weeks ago. With that said, if Full Self Driving arrives, and you can actually make money off a M3, its current price will seem like a bargain.

Thanks for sharing the source info. My point was not around if or not you could charge more than back to back, I was commenting more on all the factors that go into the rate of charge and there are many.

If the batteries that back up the fast charger are depleted, or depending on who else is charging next to you, and what rate they are charging, these are all factors that impact your charge rate. There are a number of factors including how the charging station is configured. My point is that...

You are correct, you can only DC charge twice in a row. Throttling is a function of many variables, many of which are not a function of the condition of your car. I actually dont like the word throttling as it implies it is done with intent. I do not feel that is the case with eGolfs, it is...

Unfortunately, the eGolf is a difficult car to do road trips with if you want to drive more than 350 miles in a day. It is an excellent commuter vehicle. Looking at the trip planner on plugshare.com, as you can only "fastcharge" twice in a row, you must then level 2 charge. Even doing this is...

Apparently JuiceBox is working on thinner cables...no eta on release.

yes,...I regret getting the JB, It does give you future proofing and a lot of mobile functionality. The python cables are a bit cumbersome.

Glad you got one, congrats! The clarity is a nice car as well...but I think being 100% EV frees one from the maintenance that still remains with phevs.

Yeah..I posted the deal on Slickdeals..and got like 70k views....so I am guessing 20-40 cars have sold this weekend.

did you pay $2200?

I have a new 2019 eGolf SE with a juicebox pro 40. With this combination I am able to charge at the following speeds: 1. 6 Amps 2. 12 Amps 3. 16 Amps 4. 24 Amps 5. 32 Amps 6. 40 Amps Upto what speeds do people feel it is safe to charge without degrading the battery?

All good points. One thing I will mention 1. My 2016 eGolf : 70% parts from Germay, transmission Germany, engine Germany, assembly: Germany 2. My 2019 eGolf : 70% parts China, assembled in Germany My 2019 eGolf has 40 miles on it now, I have gotten 2 electrical errors while driving out of...

Nice post! Thank you for taking the time and effort in sharing your expereiences between the 2 vehicles. I too have a '16 and '19, and concur with most of what you have said.

Been using the juicebox pro 40...thinking about selling it and getting a clipper creek. The juicebox has a lot of bells and whistles, but we are missing the thinner cables on the clipper creek. I don't mind the 40 to 32 amp downgrade, for the convenience of the thinner cables.

Small update....if you live in CA..the State rebate of $2500 has ran out of money as of June 5. If you buy an ev you still may be eligible, if you qualify based on income. The State government may elect to add more funds for 2019( this is what I am told has happened in the past).

Nice analysis.

I have been charging my 2016 eGolf over 110 V ( 1.3 Kw) for about 3 years now. Even with my 60 mile commute, it has been more than sufficient. I have seen almost no battery degradation, I can pretty easily still get 90 real world miles, without too much problem. I now have 2019 eGolf(7.2Kw)...

Employer rebate is based on whether or not your employer is offering this as an employee benefit. This is certainly a ymmv.

Yes, I read it a few times, and had no idea how this pertains to the OPs subject.

Car manufacturers are flipping the model......why invest billions and have cars wait at dealerships...build to order. VW is doing the same, I went and test drove the Audi Etron SUV today... 6 month wait...and they are charging for colors just like Tesla. The interior was quite nice..but not...
