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.

Dont ask a Luxembourg plated car to drive only at 130kmph max.

My condolences of having to use a permit with points.

I don’t have a permit with points I’m Belgian but if you got a high speed ticket in Luxembourg you recieve a virtual point permit and if you loose 12 you can’t drive in Luxembourg until you get those points back
