As always, words of wisdom. I’m local to you (Seaford) and I’m also a coffee-holic, and I value your comments. I collected my P* from near Leicester yesterday and everything you’ve mentioned in your videos helped me no end, so a big thank you. No mention in this video of switching off one pedal driving completely, though - which I assume you did on the motorway. 🙌🙌
As someone who is seriously considering this car, your review and the information you are giving us is the most useful and salient of all reviews. Actually applicable information that I can apply to my research on this car. Do you recommend that the Pilot and Plus packs are added, or is one better than the other. I'm inclined to go with Plus pack more than Pilot.
Great video Bradley. I think all your followers find real range conditions reflecting achievable range the best and as you said inadvertently not having full charge made it interesting taking the buffer range down to the wire.
Thanks alot for these videos. I am picking up my dads polestar tomorrow, taking it for a 300 mile drive on the first day. This channel has been a good source for consumer info!
A similar experience on Wednesday: driving from Slough to Cardiff (137 miles) set off with 190 miles range on the main display but Google maps showing a charge required en route, 1% battery predicted on arrival. That increased gradually as I drove, until I arrived back in Cardiff with 15% battery left, about 25 miles spare. Actually, quite pleased with the range, all things considered. Also, good man for dealing in Coffee. Obviously something about coffee merchants and Polestars.
its nice to know the off road capabilities OF P2 ( Normal Off road ) not extreme. !!! and Ice handling in time due!!!!! You do a Great Job! Can't wait to have P2 In Cy.
Bradley, another great, real life, example. And great points about the range and what people should expect. And it’s great you were able to demonstrate that if arrival State of Charge looks a bit dodgy, a quick top up taking the same time as a short shop for a sandwich, ie 10-15 minutes, solves the problem. Also, if people are in a part of the country where there aren’t any chargers, or it’s broken or being used etc, doing the motorway section at 60 mph rather than 70mph makes pretty much the same amount of saving; in your example, you would have made it home, but about 10 minutes later (the same time as the sarny shop). Great stuff. Enjoying them immensely.
Thanks! Yes I think it's hard for many people to get into the mindset that an EV stops only need to be long enough to get to the next stop. Most people driving traidtional cars tend to fill up and drive until they next fill up but as you said that's not the best way with an EV
Yet another useful video, many thanks. I guess I need to take some economy driving tips from you, my 72 mile trip on mainly country roads in a 5 degree ambient temperature today only achieved 38 kWh/100 miles.
I`m sure the WLTP range should be within reach with 19 inch wheels and 20c temperature. I`ve been getting similar range as you did in this video with temp down to 0C and wet roads 🙂 Great video 👍
Great videos, have watched these vidoes from your cars arrival. Your videos are the main reason I ordered the Polestar in the end. Due in February and hopefully with all recalls and software updates already sorted out. And a bonus your trip was to my neck of the woods where my family still live...LOL. Will be interesting to see what my range will be when I visit my family which is a 200 mile round trip plus a few miles whilst there. :)
Also I noticed you holding the charger in place at that Polar stop. I completely forgot about that tip at a recent stop when I couldn't connect..... Must remember for next time....
Hi, I am surprised you have not taken advantage of the BP Chargemaster 's marketing e-mail announcement that the 150 kw stations are dispensing free from 4 th of December for s bit. Well done for the content 👏 .
I agree with you. The range tests (WLTP) are designed to be standard, controlled tests, to enable you to reliably compare your cars range against other cars which have completed the same test. It’s completely not a number which owners should expect to achieve themselves. So many vehicle owners fail to do their own research and expect these range numbers to be achievable most of the time, despite different driving styles, speed, conditions, temperatures , car settings etc.. 🤷🏼♂️
What a coincidence! Our first trip with our brand new Tesla MS took us from Switzerland via Dover and Canterburry to The Windmill Inn in Littleworth, south of horsham! :-) Probably the exact same way you took!
This is the one I’ve been waiting for, a real range test in cold weather. Thanks. I drive to work which is 85 miles each way. Approximately 20 miles each way A and B roads the rest is motorway. Great informative videos 👍🏻
I got about 38kWh/100 miles on a similar 400 mile round trip in similar temperatures. Didn't have the M25 issue slowing me down but didn't stray above 70 at all. Looks to me like the 20" wheels make a huge difference. Would be good to run two Polestars with different wheels side by side over 100 miles to see what the difference really is. Let me know if you fancy running a test and need a sidekick.....
@@ShortCircuitPS2 Mine isn't the PP, just had the upgraded wheels. I'm one of the 'moaners' though without doubt, range seems horrendous to me.... Fortunately I don't generally drive more than 20 miles a day so not a problem but if I did regular long trips I'd be going for an e-niro or model 3 LR.
I see. Did you use heating of the seat and steering wheel during this trip? If so, the mileage was of course even more impressive. I was very happy to see your results, since some people I´ve talked to have been critical of Polestar´s performance mileage wise, some relating this to it´s lack of a heat pump.
I really like this car to look at and it would suit me down to the ground. Unfortunately the lease prices are very large so much so I’ll be ordering the model 3 SR+
Very interesting! The 120 kg. would equal about two passengers, and it was only on the outbound leg of the trip. I was wondering about the temperature inside the car. Was it in the comfortable range of say 20-22 degrees C? I live in Norway with pretty cold winters. Taking delivery of a Polestar 2 in February. Thanks for an informative video!
No problem and thanks for watching! I kept the temp inside around 19 to 20. I personally find 20 a bit hot sometimes especially with heated seat and steering wheel on.
Hi Bradley, we are doing another 120 mile round trip tomorrow and following your advice will precondition the car so that it's toasty warm before we set off. The majority of our trip though, at least 105 miles will be on the motorway. It's something I need to get my head around that whereas the Audi Allroad we had before the Polestar was best on long journey motorway driving and gave less mpg around town and country roads. On the motorway at 80mph it was only really ticking over at just over 1000 rpm and gave us the best mpg. The Polestar driving calculator you mentioned gives a much better indication of range on city and country road journeys. I'll let you know how we get on tomorrow as our 120 mile journey to York the other day sucked up 80% of a full 100% charge doing that.
Thanks, yeah electric cars are kind of the opposite to diesel cars. The extra wind and tyre resitance really hits the consumption badly and water on the road makes that even worse. Pre-conditioning does help though and I'm also hoping that Polestar will update the car in the future to allow pre-heating of the battery. The Tesla model 3 can do that and it can help with increasing range. Love the drone videos! I have a DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Hoping to use it at some point to film the Polestar.
@@ShortCircuitPS2 As youve probably guessed by looking at what I do I'm a professional drone pilot and photographer/videographer. I fly the mavic 2 pro as well. I started off many years ago with a monstrously big drone but it was unwieldy, cumbersome and only had a 7 min battery life. I then went on to the Inspire 1 and a series of Phantoms but the Mavic is by far the best drone I've ever had. It is small and compact, ideal for treks across the Brecon Beacons for National Grid or walking miles of railway track for Network Rail and brilliant for construction sites too. The batteries last for about 25 mins, it shoots hi-def raw stills and fabulous 4k video. It's a shame you live in the wrong end of the country and not up here in God's county or we could have collaborated and done something together. Im really enjoying your videos too. Nick
Hi interesting video. Can I just clarify you set the car to only charge to 80% ? I'm not yet an ev owner but I'm guessing its not good to always charge to 100%? One reason I'm holding off is lack of charging stations where I live or on the long route I regularly drive so I would always need to get max range from whatever ev I bought hence keeping it 100% charged ready to go.
Another quality video! When it was freezing here last time I struggled to get 300km. I do have 20" wheels, you recon that actually makes the difference the website says?
You right there has to be a standard that each car can be compared by, it just happens that the standard show a ridiculously high range. If the companies admit this and give a more real world range the, for me that’s OK. As you rightly state all depends on driving style and the weather, but that’s the same with an ice car. I drive a Kia Nero EV before that a Kona Electric both cars gave me around 4 miles per KWh but I know one guy who gets 6.5 mile per KWh Hyper miles I suspect. My Kona states a range of 240 miles but in the summer I can get 290 but winter nearer to 220.
Actually the range calculator on the polestar website, as mention in this video is brutally honest really. It will not show you anywhere near wltp ranges. So Polestar is pretty honest with its promised ranges to be fair.
Thanks Colin, I'm considering either the Kia Niro or Kia Soul next year to replace our Outlander PHEV. Have you been pleased with the Kia Niro? I hear great things and it seems to have quite a few features that are missing from the Polestar!
My experience of the Polestar 2 range has been abysmal. I received delivery of my Polestar 2 in September and it has been in and out of Volvo Service centres ever since, trying to fix the shocking range issue I have experienced. Now that the temperatures have dropped, at best I achieve a quarter of the advertised range, ie I can cover a maximum of 70 miles on a full battery charge. Whilst Polestar initially acknowledged that I had every right to reject the vehicle, they are now claiming that they won’t accept the vehicle back, even though it is clearly faulty. Do not buy this car until Polestar has managed to iron out its initial problems, of which there have been many. It’s a beautiful car, inside and out, but currently it isn’t getting you very far and consuming far too much energy, which is undermining its environmental credentials.
Hello! Great vid! My indicator sound has turned off. Lights still flash. But no tick tocking when I indicate. All the sound levels in setting are at default. The range sensor also makes no sound. I can see the perimeter warning blocks flash up as I approach obstacles but no ping, ping, pinging sounds. How do I reboot the system?
Play/pause button I guess? Problem now fixed. I guess it's not a reboot really? It's just a turn off and on as keeping the button down for even 60s only offers the turn off/keep on option and then car comes immediately back on again with one touch. If my android tablet is anything to go by, it would take well over two minutes to cold reboot.
@@kaustavbhattacharya3878 no the home button is not the play stop button as far as I know. The home button should be the button which you press to return to the "home screen". So if you are on Google maps and you want to go on Spotify, you could press the button directly below the screen. This button has to be pressed for 20 seconds for a reboot. Did you understand that? Sry for my bad English...
Since Polestar (and Volvo) is Chinese (Geely), should I be concerned about my privacy when it comes to their electric cars? So can the Chinese government listen in and/or watch and analyze the data dump from the car?
I was interested in this topic but I didn't watch the video because it's all this guy talking to the camera. I've nothing against him the commentary might be interesting but I want to see the car, not the bloke for 15 of the 17 minutes (after all we got the same view in the last video, and the one before that and the one........you get it). What was the range in the end? Does anyone know?
Great video, but just a question, if you knew the round trip was going to be tight why did you only charge to 80% at the start, surely going to 90% or 100 would have been better. I know everyone is only charging to 80-90% for battery health but I genuinely think "usable charge" on these batteries should be used for 100%. (Companies should reduce a bit to keep the battery healthy without making the customer think they shouldn't completely fill their usable charge amount) (if that makes sense)
Thanks, yeah as already mentioned that was my first mistake and it's easily done! Now I actually leave it set on 100% and I use an Ohme cable with the Ohme app to top up the amount I think I'll need the next day.
@@ShortCircuitPS2 Sounds good, assume you're on the octopus agile tariff then. I'm still using an egolf, where range is definitely a restricting issue, (between 90-150 in real life) so always tend to have it plugged in when at home so can set off on a full battery. When I upgrade to something with a range of approx 200 miles or higher, then something like your strategy definitely sounds like a good bet!

to me this is unneceptble range for car like this with big 78kw baterry should be more efficinet you should be able to make this trip without even thinking about having to charge. so much range is lost on hwy, and cold weather, and thats why all cars should be at least 300 miles range in case you need trips like this that are not that big , and not having to waste time to charge. to me tesla model 3 is much much more efficient with same size baterry. shame on polestar .
