POLESTAR 2 DUAL MOTOR ROAD TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD! EPISODE 2 CHARLOTTE TO DISNEY

EV Channels Review

This episode documents the second leg of a road trip to Disney World in a 2022 Polestar 2 Dual Motor. The reviewer, Joe, details the journey from Charlotte, NC, to Lake Buena Vista, FL, highlighting charging stops and real-world range observations. The car's EPA-rated range of 250 miles is noted, with real-world highway range closer to 200 miles, especially in colder temperatures (around 50°F) where a few percent battery is lost overnight. Charging speeds varied, reaching up to 155 kW initially but dropping as batteries filled. The reviewer encountered typical road trip challenges, including charger availability issues (iced spots) and app glitches, but managed to complete the leg. A significant point of discussion was the rear seat comfort, with a passenger preferring a Volvo for longer trips due to better rear-seat amenities and overall comfort. The reviewer also noted the availability and cost of the Polestar Performance upgrade ($1200) compared to Tesla's offering. The trip to Disney was successful, with the car plugged into a Level 2 charger at the resort upon arrival.
