SYDNEY TO CANBERRA DRIVE POLESTAR 2 EV ROAD TRIP AUSTRALIA 2022

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip from Sydney to Canberra in a Polestar 2, focusing on charging experiences and vehicle performance. The reviewer highlights the Polestar 2's comfortable ride and effective driver-assistance systems on the highway, noting its accuracy in predicting remaining range. However, the charging infrastructure presented a mixed bag. While the car itself performed well, the charging stations at Northbridge Plaza and Sutton Forest had accessibility and operational issues, with the latter still under construction. Goulburn's Chargefox site offered better amenities and faster charging, despite some cleanliness concerns. The trip covered 559 km with 79% driving time and 21% charging time, achieving an efficiency of 192 Wh/km. The total charging cost was $52.34, which is presented as competitive against internal combustion engine vehicles.
