Volkswagen e-Golf charging housing and pistol connection malfunction with hub light cycling from orange to red on Volkswagen e-Golf

Some Volkswagen e-Golf owners report experiencing issues with the charging housing and pistol connection, particularly when the hub light cycles from orange to red. These problems may be linked to a charging cable locking issue, where the cable becomes stuck after charging, making it difficult to remove regardless of door lock or unlock attempts. Additionally, some users have encountered charging problems due to bad insulation in the charging port or cable, which can trigger error codes such as "HV-DC-current_sensor_implausible_value." The charging time for the e-Golf varies significantly, taking up to 16 hours with a regular home socket, 5-8 hours at a level-II charging station, and only 50 minutes with DC fast charging. To address the cycling hub light and connection malfunction, owners are advised to check for an emergency release for the charging plug, inspect the charging port for any obstructions, and communicate with the charging station interface. If these measures do not resolve the issue, consulting a Volkswagen dealer or qualified technician is recommended for further diagnosis and assistance.
