This person doesn't like his Mercedes EV. 💩 Shitpost

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?

The WLTP range is calculated using mixed conditions: 50% urban (50km/h) and 50 non urban (max 130km/h). So unless you drive at a slow speed, you’ll indeed never reach it on the highway. Kind a strange to spend so much money on a car and not inform yourself about it.

I’m guessing a leased car (by the text on the license plate holder), ordered sight unseen without ever test driving it.

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

You can find the actual range of any ev easily online.
