Thanks, I hope it made sense. Everyone's going to have different range needs but I really believe that the average person should have no problems with a real world 200 km range.

Everyday Reviews oh yeah..makes way more sense than the MPGe that companies Post...I still don't get how they come up with those numbers

Hi ... Just ordered my e-golf. Would you know how is the battery during the winter?

+bruts82 Wow, thanks for the compliment. 🙏

Did you get the egolf? I'm Irish too considering purchasing one myself :)

@@colmranger you get one? Currently looking at an exec edition one which is really nice. Irish too

@@jnaur6849 no not yet unfortunately :(

Louis Arsenault What year is your E golf

I think you meant James May?

Yes it might have been him, and he ws the one late to the show or concert lol

Anything that would suffocate clarkson deserves our full support.

Simon Carr I’m assuming it was near full but can t be sure because it wasn’t plugged in when I picked it up. It could have been driven some before I picked it up.

Not per day though. You probably don’t drive more than 100kms a day.

Cloverdale to Richmond Centre is anywhere from 38 km to 45 km. Being conservative 100km to and from. Given how bad traffic is, even modest re-gen you should still have 1/2 a battery full. The worse traffic is the better the regen dumps back into your battery. Maybe if you drive from Whistler to Vancouver you'd need 400 km.

+rogerthat Where are you from?

Aleziss LOL - in what way would it eat the golf?

what ? in every way !!! what are you talking about... a 100kw electric golf would destroy any golf r in every way, performance, weight, comfort ride...

Aleziss how so? Be specific. Comfort? How so?

But would it sound like a real car? Can it beat sound from a Golf?

Aleziss a Golf E Without all the extras a golf R has like 4 wheel drive and adaptive suspension would soon be left in the dust on a winding race course. Perhaps off the line but that’s it. There’s more to a car than straight off the line speeds.

There are only 3 countries in the world that don't use the metric system: Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States. You want him to modify his videos specifically for you?

I can assure you there are way more than 3 countries that don't use the metric system.

Kenrick Chang rubbish.

+GoSolarPlz Did you even listen to the video? That’s exactly what I said. I took it to the limit but in the real world. I’d be charging at home every night. Huh?????

Everyday Reviews yes I watched the whole video. Perhaps I missed you say that and if I did so did others. What's the point of the video then? Just review the car as a car. Why does everything have to be a challenge? Do you review cars by putting 5 litres of fuel in the tank and seeing how far you can drive it? My point is that this type of video doesn't help people to see that evs are regular cars that are useable and relevant today and not some future vehicle that the average person can't yet depend on... don't be so defensive

Remy Desil ok good point.

Great review! Yes, I charge my 2016 e-Golf SE every night and I would do the same with the longer range 2017/18 one (if I don't eventually get the Tesla M3, the e-Golf is a shoo-in). Having said that, just hearing "range anxiety" in a review is enough to put some people off EVs. People often don't see the nuance, so it's probably best to avoid that phrase!

xchopp I agree. Love the e golf too

Onoff314 You just answered your own concern there. A car with a 200km range, like this Golf or the new Leaf, is perfectly fine for you. You say you never drive very far in your daily commutes. That means you don't really need a car with a very long range. That "once a year" long trip that you make can be covered with a couple of recharge stops along the way.

You got your answer ...400km once a year ??? get your EGolf now ! It s a wonderfull electric car ! 20 min on fast charger will give you an extra 200km ...and not enough time to eat ....:)

The only people that need an electric car with a range of 400km are those that commute several hundred km's a day. An EV with this range would increase price and weight of the vehicle when its absolutely not necessary.

You're absolutely correct and I do when I can but I don't have the time. I wouldn't get anything done during the day if I walked everywhere. Go Go Go all the time. Thanks for the comment.
