Thought: When you display the spreadsheet data, do you think you could always have the #1 vehicle (or even the top 3) displayed at the top so we can see what this car was up against? Thanks for all you do regardless Kris!
Clock goes 1hr backwards this time of year :) You gain an hour that day, but yes, at a certain time (say 17.00) it will be experienced as darker, since last week that was at 18.00
The charger in Kristiansand has uncooled Phoenix contact plugs which are limited to 200A. These Delta chargers there were built back then when there were no better plugs.
Interesting that you managed to get the P2 twice to 0%SOC. I think it was Tom Moloughney on his 70 mph range test, that he had to stop the test at 10 or 5%, can’t remember exactly, because at that SoC the car was not able to maintain Highway speed. But that was prior Software 1.7, so maybe during the year they have also made some changes to the turtle mode.
The point is: it is no winter saving time. In winter Europe goes to its normal time, it is in the summer when we move the time to have one more hour of light in the evening as almost nobody is using that light hour in the very early morning. The other thing is that western Europe worked on two different time zones, the more western part had London time and Central Europe had Berlin time, but a rather small Austrian guy decided in the late 30s early 40s of last century that it would be better if central and Western Europe were on the same time zone. (Nerd fact)
@@e-redj nerd fact: clock times are only a scale, it says nothing about which is real time. Timezones are just way of defining time for a certain region.
@@Scrap-press I had the same opinion, until I read what sleep scientists say. It would be better to abandon summer time although I really appreciate it in the summer 🙁
Agree no one takes it to 0% like you…have you ever been stranded? Dangerous game! I don’t think a tesla would go 20km below zero…maybe with the down hill thing.
Great Video Kris, do you plan to revisit the XC40 with the new 1.7update? I have noticed some increased range with the latest Update personally. Please consider. :D Love the way you take them down to Zero SOC, someone has to do this for the industry, and you are the only one out there doing this Bro.. Awesome.. Grats on the 30k subs..
At around 10:00 you can see that the current is capped at 200A. This fits with the indications at the Mer site that those are 90kW chargers. The Polestar has a very low battery voltage at low SoC, and that’s why it only charges at around 68kW. So, due to the low voltage the Polestar needs 500A chargers to charge at max speed. BTW, as of today (I think many days after you taking that road trip, the chargers are marked out of order by Mer).
@@KrisRifa Takk for sist. Sorry if I’m asking the obvious but does that mean that the ranges between the models are somewhat equal? I mean - does the SR SM with smaller battery and better consumption roughly equal the range of the LR DM with bigger battery but worse consumption?
19:42 ID.4 with summer tyres was just 19.6 which is better than Polestar 2. 20:10 Not sure why you think the Polestar is more sporty than ID.3, it has nearly the exact same numbers!
It’s a good result. 👍 I suspect the result would have been even better with soft, studless winter tires, which most people in Norway would be running in these temperatures. 🙂 Too bad Google, and none of the car manufacturers for that matter, are able to provide updated chargers maps. ABRP does a pretty good job at that, with live status, how hard can it be for some of the biggest companies in the world? Makes you wonder how serious they are about EVs.. There’s even a public database for this in Norway (which also includes Sweden), called NOBIL. With free API’s and everything. Even _with_ correct charger information, would the Polestar preheat though? Under a certain SOC.. 😬
re: preconditioning, you said in your polestar beating tesla vid "And not only that, Polestar seem to doing it better than Tesla." welp, apparently not if software lets this car down again.
Is there a reason - other than Volvo having historically put the motor in the front - why the P2 SM is only a fwd? The P2 would be mine if it had a better charging curve & efficiency.
I don't think they can change the overall shape of he vehicle that much. They can only squeeze out as much as they can and tweak some things for slightly better aerodynamics. I think Volvo/Polestar will have to catch up but I fear Hyundai/Kia are going to be way ahead by 2024 when Polestar gets out the P4, their more P2 priced ground-up EV crossover. Hyundai/Kia are working at so many EVs which all come out next year.
The I4 is a great car, I like it a lot. Base-models pricing seems to be ok, but to have some good spec in it you must spend 65-70k euro (or more for i4 M50). Top spec Polestar 2 costs a 55-60k euro and I think this is the upper limit worth paying in the D segment.
Polestar are definitely improving the 2 as they go. This car could open their brand up to many more buyers!
I don't think it'll be this car. I think it'll be the Polestar 4.
I think the latest OTA update improved efficiency and charging speed a little bit from this, didn't it?
Congrats on the 30k subscribers! Keep it up! Greetings from Belgium.
Thanks a lot 🤩
Congratulations on 30k! You deserve this and more. Really like your videos!
Thank you so much! 🤩

Thanks! I appreciate it 🤩🤩
Congratulations on the 30k subscribers. 👍
Thanks a lot dude!
Big gratz on 30k subs 😃👍
Thanks a lot!
Polestar has done much right. How will the LR single motor do? Hope to see it soon.
Hopefully I will get to test that soon enough :)
Gratulere med 30k
Tusen takk!

Been looking forward to this test. Curious to see the results.
Awesome!

Yes, I misspoke 🙈
The charger in Kristiansand has uncooled Phoenix contact plugs which are limited to 200A. These Delta chargers there were built back then when there were no better plugs.
That makes sense, therefore the limit should be at 120kW though... ?
This looks good for the SM LR version.

5:40 Germany voted to abandon "winter savings time" and not make it darker! 😅

Finally something Germany and I agree on. Summer savings time is the move.

30000👍.. Kris you know you can report changes in Google maps.. might help if people report missing chargers..
Agree no one takes it to 0% like you…have you ever been stranded? Dangerous game! I don’t think a tesla would go 20km below zero…maybe with the down hill thing.
Yeah, not many people do what I do! Yes, once! When I did the Norwegian High Speed Run in the iPace 😬

It would be awesome if we could get a cost to how much on average these charge stations mount to
Perhaps those chargers were capped at 150A for 400V cars
17:16 Means "0% Sorry or Care" for those outside the EV community. 😜
Takk skal du ha! An interesting video. Am I right in saying all the PS2 models have almost the same consumption?
Thanks! No, this has quite a bit lower consumption than the LR DM!

"... under similar conditions" - the id4 had warmer and dryer weather...
"Sporty" isn't just 0-100kmph... ;-)

When are you doing a Leaf Plus test?
You do need to have confidence on your charging network to be traveling with 0% state of charge… go for it.
True 🙈 Thankfully there are plenty of chargers at the stations I reach at 0% 😊

Good work do u think I will c them in aust
Is my math right for converting to miles per kWh? (100/19.8)*.62 = 3.13 miles/kWh.
How is the headlights without the pixel led?
Is there a reason - other than Volvo having historically put the motor in the front - why the P2 SM is only a fwd? The P2 would be mine if it had a better charging curve & efficiency.
Winter. You can steer the car better with a "FWD" than with a "RWD", which just pushes, if you get stuck in snow. Scandinavia is their primary market.
@@christiandufour4152 Thanks. Do you also happen to know why they chose to install two PMS motors instead of 1x pms and 1x induction motor?
Is it well for the battery to go to zero that often or will it be hurt?
I don't think they can change the overall shape of he vehicle that much. They can only squeeze out as much as they can and tweak some things for slightly better aerodynamics.

I love the way 7 hours is not bad for refuelling your car.
48 minutes 7 hours your Jeep would have burned 35 gallons of opec gas and lined another sheiks pockets on that trip
Good video, but your hands must be very tired after each conversation ;-) It is a bit disturbing.
Hahaha 🤣🤣 My hands never sleep though 🙈

2022/2023 cannot come soon enough. PPE cars (Audi Q6 e-tron/A6 e-tron, Porsche Macan, A4 e-tron and so on). Audi A6 e-tron >700km WLTP,

Kyle Conner on Inside EVs takes their 70MPH range tests to "car won't move" routinely.
Who is Kyle Connor? I have NEVER heard of him...
