Polestar 2 one pedal driving review

- Many electric cars feature one pedal driving. This means that car will automatically use regenerative braking to slow the car down when you release the accelerator pedal. It can be a great way to drive and when used correctly means you can virtually drive using just one pedal!
The Polestar 2 allows you to select One Pedal driving off, low or standard. In this Polestar 2 one pedal driving review I talk about the driving experience using off and standard and test out the difference in electrical consumption on exactly the same short route.
As a normal everyday user of this relatively new product ( which is constantly evolving ) I personally think you are spot on my friend 👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks!
@@ShortCircuitPS2 Thank you 🙌🙌
Loving your content - I’m really interested in getting a Polestar 2 very soon 👍
They are great cars! Just gone past 1000 miles and really loving it
@@ShortCircuitPS2 Have you had any issues - I’ve read that some of them had been recalled or something?!
@@CarFinanceSimplified I hope he got lucky and didn't need the recall!
But yeah there was a recall #1 for cars suddenly losing power (braking or steering would still work) and more recently #2 for replacing faulty inverter and faulty high voltage coolant heater. Probably affecting mostly early models. On the upside, they're fixing things quickly and if I read it correctly you would then also get the update to receive future OTA updates :)

I have enabled OPD on my Polestar 2 since day 1 and will never ever turn it off again 😂👍
Started with OPD on test drive ..and never even tried otherwise since delivery. So easy .. no engine, no brakes, no gearbox.. no other way. History.
Yes totally changes driving and makes it so much more relaxing
Great contentb👍 which cameras in the car are you using to record? Thanks
The difference would be bigger if you drive in town or other places where you do more start-stop. A motorway drive is probably where you will see the least effect from regen.
I agree. Also a bit longer distance, driving a well known (regular) route and more experience driving without OPD to more optimally use coasting are all factors.
Hi, what is the name and artist of the tune playing at 3:00?
Enjoying your channel while waiting for my P2 to be delivered. Good stuff!
completely agree that once you get used to it you don't drive any other way but with OPD set to standard
The drawbacks of one pedal driving? The break discs tends to gain rusts on the surface if don't used the car frequently in the winter.
Not sure if this going to be a problem in the EVs in general or not.
Most EVs have some form of regen before brake pads are used, so it's an issue with EVs in general. Also the Polestar (like a number of other EVs) used 'blended' braking, meaning that even with regen 'off' it will still first regen and only apply brakes when more braking power is needed.
I guess the only solution is driving hard and braking fast every now and then to clean those pads ;)
May I ask if your interior is charcoal or slate? Thanks. Very informative videos btw 👍
Thanks, this the charcoal interior which is the darkest option. Even then it's not that dark but I love the feel of the material. It's really unusual, kind of like wetsuit material.
Thanks. I'm waiting for delvery next week. I chose Slate, might turn out to be very light!🤔
