So the charger at those services was offline, but it still let you use it. Did it charge you for it in the end?

Here in Canada my 2018 e-Golf has really only been trouble when the temperature has twice fallen below -38°C. The heat pump certainly helps in the more common -20s. Range performance in the summer averages 7.4 km per KWh and can drop to 3.1 km per KWh in the nasty cold. The best thing is the quick acceleration, quiet performance and low cost!

Hey thanks for this review. Just about to order one. Been looking into it for ages and even the dealer didn’t know much about how they were on the motorway. The heater draining the battery is an issue but I only travel 20 miles to work and they have charging points there. I love the idea of never having to pay for fuel again. Well done on a great review.

This was a good video for me to watch as I’m currently considering what car to order for company car and I’m obviously looking at e-golf. Will be going from Milton Keynes to London so a daily 100 mile round trip. Shows if I charge at home and at work I should not get range anxiety and I’ll be able to have air con on both ways.

Hi Ben, you will love this car I can assure you. I have since shipped it to NZ and we use it daily for long journeys and it is perfect. The best thing you will find is that it's just a golf but way better. You will save a fortune if you have a 100 ml round trip commute, you'd be crazy to buy anything else.

Electric is a phenomenal experience. I go out to my GTE each morning and its pre warmed using mains rather than the battery. I love the linear relentless torque. When the engine kicks it it feels like an old tractor. Overtaking is effortless, even in EV mode.

I'm about to take delivery of one with the heat pump. I have a Mercedes 350E and have pretty much been towing the engine around for the last nine months. The 48KwH (step 2) battery should be available in 2019 with the circa 60KwH to follow in 2020 with the new ID range. I plan to use a contract and trade up accordingly.

japanluv Thanks very much! I am an early adopter so was expecting for it not to make much sense financially at first but already it’s proving extremely cheap to run. Yes it may be a few thousand more than the ICE version but it is a dream to drive and with the cost of running and no servicing or road tax it will even out much sooner than later. The range is not an issue for us at all. Do it! 😀

The funny part is the highway is the worst for range. In city driving, starting and stopping you'll be regenerating your battery. The great part is this is probably the worst range right now. With more advances in batteries, charging, range will get better and better. And the grid will get more and more renewables.

Good god, he's driving on the wrong side of the road. We have an 86 mile 'compliance' EV, our 2nd lease. Fantastic for Palm Springs, we charge two or three times per week but really just drive wherever, whenever using AC or whatever. My Solar PV system with battery storage and Level II charger in the garage, will all be online in another week or so, then we'll be driving half the time on sunlight. They don't invoice.
