The new electric Polo is at a quite attractive price, and seems to be a fantastic car.

Entschuldigung für das späte Quellepost, hat gedacht ich hätte es schon gemacht.

Ja, mehr erneubare und nicht genug Batteriespeichern bedeutet mehr Gas nutzung (oder Importe). Es ist auch gut weniger Kohl zu brennen.

Zum gluck ist das ausbau von Batteriespeichern jetzt sehr schnell: https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/installed_power/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE&legendItems=6w1&interval=month&year=-1

Ja, am anfang das hat mich auch genervt. Nicht sicher ob es eigentlich verbessert später im Video, oder ich war einfach mehr gewöhnt.

Es ist aber seiner 4. Video, also hoffentlich wird er lernen.

6 minutes is the European standard for ‘late’, and I suspect the article just made a typo and meant to say “only 60% of Deutsche Bahn’s long-distance trains arrived five minutes late or less” instead of “only 60% of Deutsche Bahn’s long-distance trains arrived less than five minutes late”.

However, it’s actually a double mistake, because for Fernverkehr (long distance travel), DB actually measures their delays in a totally differnt way from the regional trains. Instead of measuring how late each train is leaving the station, they instead they measure their punctuality based on how late each passenger is arriving at their final destination. This is only possible because people actually buy individual tickets for each journey on an ICE so they’re actually able to track this information.

On the per-passenger metric, they say arriving at your final destination less than 15 minutes late is “punctual”: https://ibir.deutschebahn.com/2025/de/zusammengefasster-lagebericht/entwicklung-der-geschaeftsfelder/geschaeftsfeld-db-fernverkehr/entwicklung-im-berichtsjahr/

This is the metric with which they hit only 60%

DB Regio reports an 89% punctuality figure for 2025 (down 1% from 2024). https://ibir.deutschebahn.com/2025/de/zusammengefasster-lagebericht/entwicklung-der-geschaeftsfelder/geschaeftsfeld-db-regio/entwicklung-im-berichtsjahr/

I don’t doubt there are certain regions or lines where the regional and commuter trains are worse than your average ICE, but it’s not the norm.

What does any of that have to do with democracy being a farce?

Yeah, that’s sloppy writing on their part. This is a bit of industry lingo that needs to be explained in the article, and written more clearly.

Solar panel factories are often talked about in terms of the amount of power in panels they can deliver per year, so likely what they meant to write was “production line capable of delivering 200 MW of solar panels per year”
