The e-Golf is the FUTURE but is it any GOOD? 

That's a good point James. Question is how much do you put in to allow for unforeseen eventualities? Remember the days when it snows and people get stuck on motorways? Difference between half and full range can be life or death (by hypothermia). Or say you plan to charge at your destination so you don't need much but get there and it's in use or inop or iced, what do you do? As charging becomes quicker this will be less of an issue but for early adopters this has to be something to consider. Thanks very much for commenting, it's all good debate.

Fingers crossed for tie fighter noises.

Carplay will be minimal but any electrical consumers especially a/c will kill range. Heated seats, lights (that’s why it has efficient LEDs), wiper etc all have a part.

Thanks Steve for clarifying that

I have this set up in my GTE 7.5 and have the Nav pro with dual screen Sat Nav.

Thanks robtt, they won't work for everyone for sure but hope the balance tips in favour of them one day thanks to infrastructure investment.

Try APS of Brackley www.autops.co.uk Not local but worth the trip 👍

If you can charge at work then not charging at home is OK. Problem is, what if everyone wants to charge at work? Say there aren't enough charge points for people to sufficiently charge to get back home, even with vacating the space once full? It's a very complicated situation, just hoping we see swift progress in addressing all the many issues so consumer confidence is strong enough to support the market.

@@volkswizard well said. Where I work, the spaces are for cars charging only, in reality, I see the same cars parked there all day everyday fully charged as if it were reserved parking. That's another problem that will need to be figured out.

Ha ha, we can but try! I'd definitely live with one for a bit but would need to get a charge point installed as the 3 pin charging is a bit laborious but I suppose not impossible.

Looking very permanent judging by VW''s investment in them. Hybrid is the stop gap. Yes, e-Golf is for people who don't want to make a statement about being eco like the relatively inefficient hybrid Prius

There is that but maybe one day...

Great info Steve, thanks. When I move I'll be getting one fitted and then I can ask Audi for an E-tron loan car

@@volkswizard Well I've only agreed today to say Goodbye to our GTE and layed a deposit on the E Golf .😂🤦‍♂️

ID.3 is rear wheel drive though, and if you've seen the Taycan drift video you will know what I am thinking ;)

Thanks for the ownership feedback Charles, didn’t even know the car was sold in US. 👍

Can you drive it from Vegas to Phoenix AZ or drive it from Vegas to St George Utah?

Definitely one to watch. I’m betting on road tax being scrapped and road charging coming in based on GPS tracking. Negates the need for a tax on the fuel which will be tricky to apply as domestic electricity is 5% tax, petrol/diesel is around 70!

Arif Ramzan electric probably won’t go up a lot to be honest, but mark my words, I bet they will sell cheap electric but it will take hours to charge, and they’d sell expensive electric that will charge your car in minutes/30mins for like £5 a minute or something lol 😂

R-line H H the government and the petrol ⛽️ companies would need to get the £ they would lose if more electric was on the road .

The government can’t increase the cost directly as you can make electricity yourself from solar panels for example.

Thanks Jimmy, means a lot👍

Thanks Keith for another great comment

All being well, yes. My postal address will be Leamington Spa but not actually in Leamington Spa. There is a Tungsten silver 5 door Up !GTI in the village though :)

@@volkswizard Good for you. I know how these things can drag out and sometimes fall apart at the last minute. The 5 door Tungsten silver one isn't mine (P1 LYP). I'm in deepest West Cornwall. No plans to sell it but I've only covered 1,500 miles in 8 months! Are prices hardening now dealer stock seems to have been shifted?

Cool, I've been working on it 👍😁

There will still be petrol cars around so don't worry, electric for the mundane day-to-day which is what a lot of peoples' motoring solely consists of is perfectly, just have something 'dirty' for weekends👍
