Good to see they are expanding their scope to include electric cars.
Electric cars also have inflated range figures. And there also seems to be different standards of measuring it.
It's not surprising to watch a Youtube clip and hear 'claimed range of 450kms, so you might get 370kms in the real world'
This is why self-regulation is a lie.
There needs to be standardised government testing, not industry-funded testing.
Same goes for Crash testing. You can guarantee that we wouldn’t allow ‘Murican trucks in the country if they were tested objectively.
And builders paying for their own Building Inspectors is a major conflict of interest.
Federally funding consumer testing of consumer goods and Local-Government funded inspection of construction should improve the quality of everything.
