Renault 4 with this lovely canvas Sunroof.

What a great idea.

There’s almost no EVs with Sunroofs, did anybody else notice this?

My MINI has a sunroof.

Unless houses are really different in the Netherlands

According to the same dataset (2024 edition) used for your chart, this his how it breaks down in more detail. I would draw your attention to the significant difference in dwelling stock once you take into account if the property is detached or not... the Netherlands has the lowest number of detached houses with the exception of Malta, Norway is the 6th highest.

I think it is reasonabe to say houses are really different in the Netherlands, when compared to Norway.

A quick google search of semi detached homes in the Netherlands shows many properties with what appears to be allocated parking spaces for each home.

My MINI has a sunroof.

Can you open it?

On the new one you can’t, which is annoying.

On mine you can. The front panel pops up and slides over the rear panel, there is also an interior blind.

China is making waves in the electric vehicle world by banning one-pedal drive as the default starting in 2027. This feature, often hailed as the most loved driving style in electric cars, lets drivers slow and stop by simply lifting off the accelerator. But now, this beloved convenience faces a major shake-up with safety concerns at the heart of the debate. Could Europe be next to follow suit?

This shift challenges the way millions of electric vehicle drivers engage with their cars daily. One-pedal drive made city driving almost effortless, blending regenerative braking with acceleration in a way few traditional features can match. But according to Chinese regulators, it might actually slow reaction times in emergencies, which is why the brake pedal must be pressed actively from now on.

One-pedal driving could soon be banned — here’s what it means for drivers

I don't mind this because it can be nauseating for passengers. I've been in a few Ubers/taxis with drivers that are new to EVs and it can get pretty unpleasant
