POLESTAR 2 DUAL MOTOR ROAD TRIP TO DISNEY WORLD! EPISODE 1 CHICAGO TO CHARLOTTE

EV Channels Review

This video documents the first leg of a road trip from Chicago to Disney World in a 2022 Polestar 2 Dual Motor. The reviewer highlights the challenges of cold weather (32°F with strong winds) on EV range, noting a significant drop from the EPA-rated 250 miles. The base model lacks adaptive cruise control and a glass roof, but the reviewer finds the Google navigation system impressive for its route planning and efficiency estimations, even in adverse conditions. Charging experiences varied, with some Electrify America stations performing well and others experiencing issues or slow speeds. The reviewer emphasizes the importance of real-world testing and planning for EV road trips, especially concerning battery buffer limitations and the impact of external factors on range. Despite some drawbacks, the Polestar 2 is praised for its performance and premium feel, making the journey enjoyable.
