My Siemens is mounted on the outside of my garage. The outlet has a weatherproof metal box around it and I have a padlock on it that means the end of the pigtail can't be pulled out without cutting the cable. Hopefully that's enough of a theft deterrent.

What do you mean, "what is [his] definition of sparingly?" He said right in his post he'd limit 50kW to once per day and 25kW to twice per day. You may disagree with his assessment, but he told you right there what he'd limit it to. What would you limit it to? Is there somewhere in the manual or...

Congratulations and welcome to the club! It's really a great car. I have an SEL, but only because the LE wasn't out yet when I got mine. Had it been, I probably wouldn't have splurged for the SEL either (though I'm happy with it). In the inner cooler ring of the bay area (I'm in the Berkeley...

Others have already given pretty good responses, but I figured I'd chime in as well in case it's useful. 1) No idea if Juicebox has delay charging issues. I have a Siemens, and the issue has been 100% resolved for me after the long awaited update that finally came a few months ago. Delay works...

Nice! I sometimes surf at Linda Mar. Take my Subaru though (don't want to mess up the e-Golf with the wetness/sand/etc. Maybe in a couple years when it's interior doesn't feel so new, I'll take the e-Golf out there.

I fast charged at EVGo CCS fast charging station at Whole Foods in San Jose, CA with no problems. Don't know if it was an older or newer model. Haven't tried any other fast chargers.

There are a few in the Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito area where I live. I regularly see a blue one in North Berkeley and a silver one in the Albany area. I have a white one. I think there have only been about 1500 total sold in the U.S. so far (roughly 1200 this year with about another 300 or so...

My Siemens is mounted outdoors. No problem with the bend of the line. I have a box very similar to the one that miimura posted. I recall looking into getting the hard wired one, and that one was only indoor rated, so I went with one with a plug.

Interesting. Thanks for the response. 0.4% interest is really low. So, it sounds like sometimes can cost an insignificant amount more than purchasing (and arguably less if you consider the time value of the money spent on an outright purchase). It also gives more flexibility to turn it in and...

On the buy v lease discussion, most people seem to say you shouldn't buy because the cars will have more range in 3-4 years and your resale will be terrible. But, what if you don't plan on getting a new car in 3 years? What if you've always kept your cars for 10+ years before getting a new one...

If there's one thing I've learned in my six months with my e-Golf, is not to trust a word that the dealers say if it does not jibe with your understanding of the car or its parts/accessories. I've had dealers spew tons of misinformation each time I've called or gone in about my car. I don't mind...

Got the TSB applied to my e-Golf and Delayed charging worked smoothly last night. Very happy about it worked and I didn't have to take it in again like some folks on here have reported.

I just had my Siemens Versicharge installed, like others have posted on this forum, the delay charge did not work. When I woke up, the lights on the EVSE were on indicating that it was ready to charge the car, but the car wasn't charging. I tend to agree with all here that it is the car in some...

I get the action rejected about 1/2 the time too. In my opinion, the correct answer for any carnet problem you're having is, the implementation of carnet is crap! Until VW fixes it, we're all going to have tons of problems with it. A bunch of college students could have coded a less buggy app.

I've seen the circles on mine, but haven't done anything to deal with it.

HOV stickers ended up coming in Friday, Jan 9. So, it was under 4 weeks to get the HOV stickers after I applied. The holidays may have made mine a little longer than others reported.

Tuningin - Car net did not fail because you did something wrong, it failed because it is super buggy. I've had the car since mid-November. There is no rhyme or reason to why delay charging works perfectly sometimes and not others. I've had the experience of it not working randomly with no...

Bought in mid-November, think it took about 4 weeks to get license plates. Put HOV sticker application in right away, it's been about 3 1/2 weeks and still anxiously awaiting my stickers.

Thanks for the update. Please let us know if it works. I've seen them too, but been too busy/lazy to try to deal with it.
