I swapped my Porsche TAYCAN for a POLESTAR 2 The most rEVolting ELECTRIC CAR EVer made! Are Electric Cars the future of Motoring, Will the EV be the number one mode of transport around the world? After owning and Electric Car for 2 Years, I can tell you in my opinion they are not the future and they are let down by the infrastructure.

A few years ago, I watched a Californian politician slagging off ICE cars because of "waste" heat from the engine. I did a little over a hundred miles in the scottish borders today air temp about 4 C and that "waste" kept my wife and I warm, kept the glass clear etc, thanks waste. I really don't fancy paying 69 pence pkwh to keep warm. And no, I don't have a drive way, my 103 year old ex local authority home, will not accommodate a drive.

Australia sells 1 billion dollars per month of coal to China. Plus iron ore for their factories. I find that Europeans generally are unaware of the fact that Chinese manufactured EV cars are made with massive amounts of coal. 🇭🇲

Dear car manufactures.... Please please please bring back knobs and buttons.
Those digital ipad things look far too complicated and dangerous !....
Not that I ever want a EV...
But if the day comes when we are all forced into having them, can you imagine the carnage that will be caused because everybody is too busy looking at them ipad control panels trying to do a simple task...rather than looking at the road..
Knobs and buttons please !....

The problem with electric cars is that the people who can afford them are usually those who continuously replace their cars, therefore not environmental at all. Those people are generally top feeders and have a much larger carbon footprint despite the ev they drive.

Never buy an electric car especially a Chinese one .

TBF, proper Polestar Volvo’s are incredible beasts.
And by proper, I mean petrol ⛽️
😂

How long before companies like this, go bankrupt and you left for the car can't operate because of no software or firmware updates.

I love just turning a key and driving. All this infotainment BS just to turn the heat on. Not for me! Illegal to use a phone screen but these massive phone screens are ok. Makes no sense

[larryjimbob]

I love how these petrol free vehicles are full of plastic and synthetic materials, how environmental 😉

The lack of power is most likely bad spark plugs or the fuel injection system. True story.

Its a Volvo, and it knows it's wet, my bet is nanny mode is turned on and you haven't found page 457 of the manual yet on screen 54-9-88 there is a little setting you turn off (maybe).

Hi
I used to be an hgv mechanic in the 70s & early 80s so I know what heavy stearing is, if people learn to only turn the wheel when the vehicle is in motion they might find the stearing is OK. I don't understand why all EVs aren't all wheel drive it's not exactly difficult to put a motor in each corner, as I have said about all EVs they share the same technology as a cordless drill

[mikeolly]

Pull leaver backwards to go forwards and forward to go backwards. If you steer left does it go right and right it goes left ?

We test drove the Polstar 2 single and dual motor cars a few months ago, the single 'long range' was very slow (i was told it was around 240hp) i was told the power was a trade for the 400mile range it's said to have, the dual motor was better but not even close to the Tesla (i was told they are closer to 400hp) but i know exactly what your saying, i had the sales guy franticly clicking options to try and make the single motor Polstar go because it felt dangerously slow pulling out from junctions etc.

the AWD version is the fast one (0-60 in 4.5 sec and 660nm of torque), the last thing you want is excess power in a FWD electric, it will understeer and torque steer you off the road.

[kellyeye]

Doesn't matter one iota what an EV looks like, drives like or costs. If there isn't the infrastructure to support them they are simply going to be an inconvenience. Most households won't have the cabling capacity for a fast charger and our grid can't supply the (potential) demand either. Then there's the issues of insufficient chargers, slow charging, broken chargers, street parking/charging? expensive electricity (and the only way is 'up'), depreciation, over-priced, insurance issues, repair costs, battery worries etc etc.

[allencrider]

Here in the states they sell the Polestar 2 and they have a few dealers, but nobody can buy parts. I'm sitting here two hours away from the nearest dealer and if I needed a new window switch, I would have to drive to them, leave he car off, drive home, then a few days later drive back to the dealer and pick up my car and pay parts and labor for my window switch replacement. I will never, ever buy a polestar unless I can order parts from their website.

All that taking your eyes off the road looking at the info screen. These cars are so dangerous

[uppyraptor]

You are quite right mac! Mobiles are banned and yet your eyes are of the road all the time? DANGEROUS!
