FIRST ROAD TRIP IN MY NEW POLESTAR 2! 500 MILE WEEKEND GETAWAY

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles the first road trip in a new 2022 Polestar 2 Dual Motor with Pilot Pack, covering approximately 500 miles over a weekend. The reviewer highlights the car's performance and charging experience, noting a discrepancy between the car's estimated range and the actual arrival range, which was consistently better than predicted. Charging was primarily done at free ChargePoint CP250 stations, which delivered around 50 kW, and a Duke Energy station that provided 51 kW at 81% state of charge. The reviewer found the car's range estimation to be pessimistic but ultimately sufficient for the trip. Practicality concerns were raised, particularly regarding the difficulty of ingress and egress due to the seat position relative to the B-pillar and the inconvenient placement of the second cup holder. Despite these drawbacks and the car being a temporary solution, the reviewer found the overall ride comfort to be decent and the car to be a capable, sporty electric option for those who can overlook its minor inconveniences.
