2020 Polestar 2 - FIRST LOOK

Polestar 2 is a premium five-door fastback with two electric motors and a 78 kWh battery capacity2 that will enable a targeted range of 500 km3, based on Volvo Car Group’s adaptable Compact Modular Architecture platform (CMA). The 27-module battery pack is integrated into the floor and contributes to the rigidity of the chassis as well as improves the car’s noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels – road noise has been reduced by 3.7 dB compared to a traditional chassis.

Perhaps when charging stations are as numerous as GAS STATIONS then 500 km ( 310.6 miles ) would be practical for long-range travel assuming the charging time was 15 minutes or less for a full 500 km. Like the Early70's Gas conversion Diesel engines, long-range travel was a worry to the driver thinking about the next fill-up. ( Then answer became clear to owners . " look for Truck Stops " ) . I believe most folks ( myself include ) will continue to purchase Hybrids and Plug-in Gas/Electric Hybrids until more STANDARD charging stations are available. ( Level II & Level III quick-charging ports to include all US, Japanese, Swedish, German, English & Korean Auto Manufacture's . ) The FEAR of running out of "JUICE" or waiting for long charging times during a long road trip will diminish most ELECTRIC vehicles sales during the next 5 plus years. I believe most manufactures missed the mark completely by not offering a Small, mid-size or a full size ALL electric truck for the suburb and country dwellers that use trucks for local transportation and hauling. Owning a home level II charger would eliminate any need of stopping at the local GAS STATION.

I don't think it would give Tesla a run for its money, I do not like the tablet on the centre console they could have been a little more innovative, but overall I love this vehicle, I would buy it.
