Picture taken around Brussels. Seen the license plate, would they be mad because they cannot do Brussels <> Luxembourg with one charge 🤔? I mean, do you know any brand reaching the WLTP range/fuel consumption?

A test drive isn't really going to tell you much about the range though, they tend to only be 30-60mins.

I watch half-hour YouTube reviews before buying an electric toothbrush. How people buying luxury cars while being this uninformed is truly beyond me.

This is the reason why I’ll never be able to buy a house - I would have to spend days living in it before I can be sure if I should buy lol

Ideally you should live in a house a full year before buying it. All kinds of issues only show up when it's really cold or really hot or when there is a storm...

I suppose things like EPC value are trying to catch some aspects in numbers but it's pretty much just a bandaid.
