Which electric vehicle models appear in range-related legal proceedings and how you can enforce your rights regardless of the model.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is your electric car not achieving its advertised range? Certain models appear particularly frequently in court cases and reports. However, what matters for your rights is not the model, but the deviation of your vehicle from the advertised WLTP value. This article provides an overview and shows you how to assess your claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why individual models appear in procedures<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In reports and court cases concerning the range of electric cars, certain models are repeatedly mentioned. For example, according to media reports, a Peugeot e-2008 was the focus of the much-discussed ruling by the Wuppertal Regional Court, and a Porsche Taycan is currently being examined at the Osnabr\u00fcck Regional Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that a model appears in a legal proceeding does not mean that all vehicles of that type are defective. It merely shows that these individual cases led to litigation. Conversely, the absence of a model in the headlines does not mean that it is problem-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, for your legal assessment, it is not relevant whether your model has already been the subject of legal proceedings, but solely the deviation of your specific vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is your model making headlines, or not? In either case, an individual review is worthwhile. Have your case assessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common denominator: deviation from the WLTP value<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of make and model, the legal standard is always the same. According to \u00a7 434 of the German Civil Code (BGB), a vehicle must possess the characteristics that the buyer can expect based on public statements made by the manufacturer. The advertised WLTP range is one such statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the vehicle significantly deviates from the advertised value under comparable test conditions, a defect may exist. The ten percent rule established by the German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) regarding excessive fuel consumption serves as a guideline. We explain the principles behind this on our page [link to relevant page]. Reversal of an electric car purchase due to insufficient range<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This common denominator makes the argument transferable. Whether small car, compact model or luxury car, the question is always whether the real-world range under WLTP conditions falls short of the manufacturer's specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you drive a different model than those mentioned? The legal review is underway. We'll look at your specific case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which vehicles may be affected<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem isn't limited to one brand. Basically, any electric car that significantly falls short of its advertised range is relevant. The public discussion mentions models from various manufacturers, ranging from compact city cars to luxury vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of compiling a list of supposedly affected models, an objective assessment is more important. Whether your vehicle is affected can only be determined by measuring your actual range compared to the advertised value. Blanket judgments about specific models are neither reliable nor legally sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
