Took delivery of this Pro S this week and now working my way through my Condo Association challenges to install an EVSE. Enjoying the car! Surprised that my first charge-up at EA took 1:15 hours though

Welcome to the forum and your new Pro S!

See the "Electrify America" area for much discussion: Electrify America

btw: I used to live in Woodbridge a long time ago in a galaxy ...

Did you charge it up to 100%? If you did that's likely why it took so long. VW (and many EV owners) recommend setting max charge to 80% for the majority of the cars use.

Thanks and no, the car is set on 80%. I was at 25% when I started the charge. Someone else sent me a link to EA that shows many have experienced this slow (35 Kw) charge rate. Suggestion was to move to another port and call EA to report...

You're going to run into that periodically. I've gotten to where I know which locations and specific chargers to avoid, but I have no clue about fast charging around Northern Virginia since I didn't purchase an EV while I was there. Good luck. Hopefully you can get this resolved without too much issue.

Thanks! And yes, it seems it was charger specific. Charged up yesterday at Potomac Mills Mall and a charge from 25% to 73% (why did EA shut me off LOL?) took only 25'. All good. Now my "other drama" is to get VW and EA to resolve my confirmation code problem. I must call EA each time I charge up in order to get the free charge. Sigh..

Good luck! I was fortunate that my salesman set everything up for me and that there haven't been any significant issues with my account. I've had a few ghost glitches in the car's software and that's about it. I hope that you get that resolved and enjoy your new ID.4.

You need to have something to enjoy with having to put up with the DMV traffic.

Hello from another ID.4 owner in NOVA. Did you get it at Karen Radley?

 

[TCOACH]

Hello and no, I leased it from Stohlman VW in Tysons Corner. All good so far
