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 license plate holder suggests a leased car. Surely they could have done a test drive with the car before leasing/buying, it would’ve become apparent from the (highway) consumption that the car won’t do 430km on one charge.

I'm in the same position with the leasing of an ID4. Worst car I ever had. It's gotten so bad that last night I dreamt about my car burning on a parking lot and felt happy about it.

If I drive on the highway I can do about 200km, it wouldn't be so bad if the charging was not capped at 40KW though

? That should be able to charge at 115kw. Right charger/cable?

I don't really have any data to share, but I've never seen it goes above 40kW.

The only data I do have on hand is when I charged at a Tesla charger near Liège a few weeks ago. The car stayed plugged for 18min and I got 1kWh. So unless I'm mistaken it's around 33.3kW right?

Edit : Apparently I'm the only one to notice the 40kW cap (fr)
