    Delayed Charging question

    Thanks forbin That information is helpful. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Put the plug in,press the clock button, watch it go blink blink blink. I assume its setting a timer to wake up. Because then my goes completely dark, like the car is completely off. That kind of threw me for a loop at...

    New owner- GFI outlet or not?

    @Joules - Yes, my main panel is a 200 amp panel, and it has a 60 amp sub panel for a detached guest room, a 90 amp sub panel for my far side garage along with other breakers. The far side garage is where I'd like to put a new 50 amp breaker and plug in ESVE to future proof. On the sub panel...

    Charge times 2016se

    I went 60 miles today on my 2016 SE base model here on San Diego freeways. Crazy thing is I started with 90 miles of range, and ended the day with 43 miles of range after going 60 miles. I stayed in Regen 1, and used the B brake whenever stopping in traffic. It was fun to see the range...

    Delayed Charging question

    That's the one thing I figured out today. If it starts charging right away then hit the timer button with the clock on it when you put the charger in the port. So far so good. I just treat the peak time as the hours I want to charge and set a departure time for when I want to leave in the morning.

The "off peak" hours in the location setting acts as a start time. I set mine from 12 am to 5 am last night with a 7 am departure and it stared right...

    New owner- GFI outlet or not?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes I have the 3.3kw charger. I am looking at level 2 chargers but I'm going to wait a week or two and see. This is my commuter and the daily use is less than 60 miles. Pretty sure I can get that in 12-13 hours. I also have a backup vehicle. Set up delayed charging and...

    New owner- GFI outlet or not?

    Hi all, I'm the proud new owner of a silver 2016 SE. I'm confused n the charging instructions. In the VW manual it says I must plug my charger into a GFI outlet and NOT to use a conventional AC outlet. However in the Delphi portable charger manual it doesn't say that. To further complicate...
