The shape of the charge curve for our RV's Lifepo4 (lithium)battery would be similar to your e-golf's. The main difference would be the charge rate as we don't quick charge at that high a rate.
Please note that the VW E-golf uses lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) cells from Panasonic, which are not used in any RV's that I am aware of. There are many variants of lithium cell chemistries each with their own pro's and con's. I believe the NMC cells are more energy dense, but also require more management than the LithiumPhosphate based cells that are used by rvr's.
Enjoy your golf, we had some fun zipping around in an electric Fiat 500 a few weeks ago, couldn't believe how fast it accelerated.
Roger that, I've only done it a few times, but the 0-40 mph quickness is silly fast on the e-Golf, waaay more than I'll ever need. 199 ft lbs of torque off a rolling start, right at your big toe, if used, is brutal on tire wear. Probably brutal on the traction battery too.
Please share more with us your charging rates /amps /voltage on you your RV with Li FE PO4 cells. Are you charging via solar, generator or combination of both?
Would the Fiat 500e or e-Golf possibly make good Toads?
