I posted my first energy log for Number 7, my e-Golf, this morning. I lost the first charge data, because when you unlock the car with the fob, in order to release the charging plug lock, it "restarts" the charge, and my JuiceBox loses the charge total. (I still have not gotten the JB wireless connected to my network, so I don't have data logging, which is frustrating. I now have a programming cable for the unit, but hey - it is been the snowiest winter ever, here!)

I am retiring my Scion xA and will be driving Number 7 from now on.

Coincidentally, the factory Cd of the e-Golf is 0.27, which is quite similar to what I had estimated my modded xA was. So, I am not losing much, if anything in the aero department. And I am increasing my mileage by about 2.5X.
