NEW POLESTAR 4: ANOTHER POINTLESS, OVERWEIGHT EV

EV Channels Review

John Cadogan delivers a scathing critique of the Polestar 4, labeling it a "pointless, overweight EV" and a "massive waste of the Earth's resources." He highlights the vehicle's significant weight, comparing it unfavorably to a Ford Ranger Wildtrak, and questions its environmental credentials given the manufacturing CO2 emissions and the large 100 kWh battery. Cadogan criticizes Polestar's marketing, particularly the "now on sale" claims when deliveries are months away. He dismisses the "SUV Coupe" description as derivative and mocks the use of recycled materials and "Animal Welfare Nappa leather." The reviewer concludes that the Polestar 4, like other large EVs, offers no genuine environmental benefit over comparable combustion engine vehicles and represents a "virtue mobile" for those detached from reality. His overall verdict is that purchasing such a vehicle is a "greater mistake" than significant personal blunders.
