4,000 MILE CROSS COUNTRY POLESTAR 2 ROAD TRIP! SAN DIEGO TO LOUISVILLE EPISODE 2

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles the second leg of a 4,000-mile cross-country road trip in a 2022 Polestar 2 Dual Motor, covering the journey from San Diego to Louisville. The reviewer highlights the Polestar 2's impressive charging curve and overall efficiency, particularly noting its ability to maintain high charging speeds even at lower states of charge. The vehicle's performance in extreme heat and wind is also tested, with the navigation system occasionally slipping up but generally proving reliable. Challenges encountered include Electrify America station reliability issues and the car entering 'turtle mode' sooner than expected due to a smaller battery buffer compared to other EVs. Despite these minor setbacks, the reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with the Polestar 2 as a road trip machine, praising its charging capabilities and driving dynamics. The narrative also touches upon the practicalities of long-distance EV travel, such as the need for bathroom breaks and the importance of reliable charging infrastructure.
