Went EV in 2013 with an eGolf when VW had to buy back my so-called “clean diesel” Audi A3. We run the whole house and charge 2 EVs with solar panels for the minimum access charge of $16/mo. In gloomy Oregon!

„oder irgendwelchen Golf-Liebhabern anhören“…. Hallo, geht’s noch!?!
Ich liebe meinen egolf 2018, hat immer noch 180-200km reale Reichweite und ist ein tolles Auto.
Mäßigen Sie sich 😃

As a eGolf driver since 2015, I don’t miss dealing with sticker shock like that!

We have the vw egolf. The range is under 100 miles, but it goes back and forth to work, stores, etc. I love the power you get immediately from an ev when you hit the "gas pedal"(battery pedal? 😂). They're fun to drive. Our neighbor has the BMW i3, which is another little ev. It works to get around.

things start to get pretty interesting in the low $10k range for a used EV. Lots of BMW i3s, a VW eGolf, a Fiat 500e... none of these have a ton of range, but if all you are doing is commuting to and from work, running errands, and charging at night, these could be good options.

Same.. had a egolf and a id4. Only recalls had me take it to dealership. Except for the egolf (never took it in for anything). Both were great. Only reason I didnt buy out my id4 lease cuz of the navigation subscription part.

I own a VW eGolf, which was simply converted by VW as a compliance vehicle. They didn’t even change where the fuel pump was in the Golf. They just ripped the innards out and dropped a battery in and some more electrical connections. Way too bad that they haven’t kept the Egolf. Nicer than the ID3

Echt? Geil!
Beim eGolf hast halt den kleinen Akku mit wenig Gewicht, und er rollt unfassbar gut.
Der Mustang hat ja nen verhältnismäßig großen Akku, große Räder und nicht die perfekte Aerodynamik…. Das ist echt stark! Schade, dass der MachE nicht besser verkauft wurde.

Das stimmt nicht. Ich hab meinen Wagen letztes Jahr abbezahlt und gekauft, als es noch keine E Autos (bis auf den EGolf der 1990iger) gab.

Schon krass, wie sparsam sich der eGolf fahren lässt. 11,7 kWh auf ner 40 km hin-und-zurückstrecke, ohne Verkehrshindernis zu sein, ist mit dem ID.3 schlichtweg unmöglich.

I don't see them too often in Portland. I'm much more likely to see an old eGolf or original 500e... but when I do see a Cybertruck I make sure they see me giving them a thumbs down 👎🤣

It really depends on the range each car has. Our vw egolf can't go that far and is used to commute for work only. The Ioniq 5 has a 305 mile range, so we stopped twice to charge on that trip. It was mid summer, so we didn't want to risk doing only 1 stop. I felt bad seeing a few gas cars that over

I'll never buy a Tesla. Yuck! I refuse to give Musk money.
We did buy a used VW eGolf for $10k though. Plenty of other electric cars available.

I've been driving EVs for over a quarter century and owned them for over a decade. When the first EV I purchased, an eGolf, was totaled by a distracted driver, I grabbed the Kia Niro HEV its first month on the market. I sold it at 85k Mi, original brakes, zero issues to buy the IONIQ 5...

Where did you find a $10k vw egolf? An individual or dealer? What year and mileage? How long have you had it? Has it needed any repairs or tires after purchasing?

That's not accounting for poor battery performance in winter, which drops the range to ~83 miles on a NEW one, which would drop further to 40-50 miles at the age I would be buying this theoretical eGolf. And the drop in range would be there forever. Replace the battery? Starts losing range.

Except I math good.
If I purchase a VW eGolf, taking into account loan interest, cost of ownership including maintenance and replacing parts, fuel/electricity cost, etc. I will never break even. If we don't consider replacing the battery, it takes 22 years...versus just keeping the car I have now.

Who said you need to spend $30k?
We bought a used vw egolf for $10k. There are multiple options. Lots people can do.
