I would rather say boring as hell, and I have driven many of them. Apart from punch, they can't do much. I'd prefer a nice V6 or V8, you get more out of them.
A geothermal heat pump would still cost €4500 more than an air heat pump after deducting the BAFa subsidy. I have also often read that heat pumps do not make sense with monolithic construction. What would you recommend to us?
Heat pumps can of course be used sensibly. I would be concerned about the suitability of an air-water heat pump in severe subzero temperatures. Therefore, I would prefer a brine heat pump. I am particularly fascinated by the variant with an ice energy storage system, as this – unlike deep-drilled geothermal energy – does not extract energy from the groundwater (potentially bad for important microorganisms).
I would rather say deadly boring, and I've driven a lot of them. Except for punch, they can't do much. Better a nice V6 or V8, you get more out of it.
Due to my professional travel profile, rail and electric cars are out of the question for me. I am a petrol head myself, torque junkie, and frequent driver. We car enthusiasts are extremely out of fashion, anachronistic, and bad role models. Under "painful downsizing self-discipline" in vehicle choice (R6 instead of V8), I now drive with an average consumption just over 7l per 100km. To ease my conscience, I buy CO2 certificates to somehow offset our total fuel consumption. I may be accused of inconsistency and I have to admit that is so true.
I would rather say dead boring, and I have already driven a lot of them. Apart from punch, they can’t do much. I prefer a nice V6 or V8, you get more out of it.
It always depends on preference. The only cheaper way to travel is by bus. If it doesn’t have to be a Tesla, you’re looking at €3.50 for 130 km. At least for me.
The e-Golf is currently available in clearance for under €20,000. In terms of equipment, a comparable combustion engine vehicle is over €30,000. I find that quite interesting, even though of course that is not a normal price.
