How Far Can I Go?
These battery-powered wheels can get you quite far on a full charge - the 2018 VW e-Golf can take you 125 miles on a single charge depending on driving behavior. Each Envoy vehicle will display the real-time estimated miles of charge on the dashboard. Please be sure to check the current range when entering the vehicle. For further information about the VW eGolf, checkout VW website here. For charging on the go, search 'charging stations" in Google Maps and learn about charging on our Charging Page.
What Do I Do When I Get Back?
Put the vehicle's gear shift into park. Press your foot on the brake pedal and press the stop button simultaneously.
Also, please be a good neighbor! Remove your personal belongings and all trash, and don't forget to plug the charger back into the vehicle! Once that's all done, end your reservation within the Envoy There app.
