"Volkswagen offer a 'round the clock' mobility guarantee, but in this case it appears not to apply if left stranded on a bank holiday weekend..."
"This is a cautionary tale about EVs and breakdowns."
"Last Sunday, on a bank holiday driving break along the Wild Atlantic Way, my 10-month old Volkswagen electric car (EV) broke down. Although nearly fully charged, it wouldn't start."
An owner's 10-month-old Volkswagen electric car failed to start during a bank holiday driving break along the Wild Atlantic Way despite showing a near-full charge. Volkswagen advertises a 'round the clock' mobility guarantee, yet no assistance was provided on the bank holiday weekend when the vehicle became stranded. The failure left the owner without immediate support and highlights potential gaps in manufacturer roadside coverage for EVs during public holiday periods. The situation raises concerns about reliability expectations, the practical limits of EV warranties, and preparedness for owners traveling on busy holiday routes.
