You do seem really relaxed despite mixed 'hammering' and Staus - this was my impression from the P2 as well, it is just so relaxing to drive! I had one for two days (the 400ps AWD Variant) and at first, i was actually a bit hesitant to exterior and interior styling. However, the more I drove it, the more I liked it.

Circle K (former Statoil) gas stations are present in the Scandinavian countries, Poland, Baltic countries and also a few locations in Western Russia. I think Ireland has them as well. What’s funny, here in Poland the first Ionity chargers are being build, however they won’t be present at Circle K, but… Shell stations :). Circle K, unfortunately doesn’t invest in charging infrastructure here yet - pity, I like those gas stations, they serve very good hot dogs ;)).

[@stevemulroy1417]

CircleK are have good coverage in the Irish Republic but in the Uk and other European countries I’ve never seen them.

[@hitch24]

Thanks for taking us with you! On your way back, don't take the Gotthard Tunnel, there is always a lot of traffic jam (many hours waiting time) on the weekends. Cheers from Switzerland

[@hansn.9590]

...take the Gotthard Pass, it's a very nice ride!

[@ahlsn7346]

You experienced the same thing I've been doing when driving in Germany. Average speed is quite often slower than in Sweden even if you do flat out on unrestricted sections. There are always so much road constructions and other queues in Germany that slows down the average speed. Love this trip vlog :)

[@thomasruenes1853]

Nice trip and review, Kris👍 For us norwegians it is strange to see all those vacant charging stalls during holiday seasons. Almost no EVs🤪

[@KrisRifa]

Thanks! Yeah, I have barely seen any EVs on the road these few days 🙈

[@abenteuerelektrisch8977]

Many EV drivers avoid Ionity because it is super expensive with .79€ /kWh while all other 300kW chargers from EnBW, Fastned and Alego cost about .47€ / kWh with ENBW charging card. EnBW, by far the largest Network is building many super reliable 300kW charging parks with 12 plugs and more. we also dont have as many EVs (%) as Norway yet. 👋

If you buy the Bropass for Öresundsbron you get a big discount and if you also get the little “Bizz” box which lets you pass through it’s really convenient and you also get a discount on the Store Bælt bridge and use the Bizz there too. To get the full effect you need to do both ways on the Öresundsbron though.

[@snabbis]

[@felgen24]

The stats on this trip is insanely high, and the charging time is mind blowing

[@e-redj]

Done the route Germany Sweden a couple of times, it doesn’t matter much if you go via ferry or via bridges, it is almost the same price, even if you take the long ferry from Göteborg it is not much more expensive. It depends on how hours do you want to stay on the road. Is good that you took the store belt route, the Highway from Fehmarn to Hamburg is currently a mess ( lots of construction). But it is not that bad when going north.

[@garethnoble11]

We had hellish traffic round hamburg 5 days ago but i’d still recommend the puttgarden ferry on the wsy back. It cuts your time behind the wheel by 2 hours.

[@3xLau]

@@garethnoble11 but not total time.

[@garethnoble11]

Johnny Lau agreed. For us its end of a drive but critically only for holidays so elapsed time is not a huge issue.

I've just realised that you're posting this in real time!! Way to go!! Nice trip!!

[@alanmcdade2459]

Hmm last year in EU I was managing 1000km per tank of diesel. So I would have done this with one stop, no anxiety, no stress, no writing down were stations are, no worry about payment.

[@ojeskog]

Loving this series. Interesting to see how the P2 performs in real world with wind, rain and German autobahn. The joy of passing Hamburg haha, always delays.14hrs on the road is about 2hrs more than I'm comfortable with doing while driving far several days in a row. Certainly requires good seats in the car. That high consumption also requires a lot more time at the chargers... Your driving style today is how I've driven fossil cars there several times before. Just not had a chance to do it in an EV just yet. Nice to see what to expect...

Has the Polestar 2 as good a travel guide as tesla. Which, for example, shows the chargers after the road and how much effect it is on them and which can tell you how much you have to charge the car to arrive at them or the destination

[@johnminshall242]

Looks fun and you’re obviously enjoying the P2. Mind, I like the dash/screen layout - but consumption that high? Wow!

[@Roy-qn2ie]

Good to see higher consumption isnt really a problem :)

[@joachimmagnusson3128]

The Ferry is much more expensive. The costs are between 67-140 Eur depending on the type of ticket.

I'm amazed by the number of KZbinrs who happily drive along holding a camera and paying less attention to the road. I suppose putting all your faith in airbags is a thing nowadays. BTW, walked from the beach to Nyborg and stopped at that shop at the fuel station a couple of years ago.

[@KrisRifa]

I’m not looking at the camera while filming, I’m looking at the road or the the screens in the car. I also only film while using auto steer unless I’m driving at low speed. So you are mistaken with your assumption

[@ontheroadagainwithvinny931]

@@KrisRifa I stand by my statement. At some point you have to pick up the camera. If you have to take it from the seat next to you, switch it on or do anything that is not part of being in charge of the vehicle, you are not paying enough attention to the road. If you were doing what you said in the UK you would be fined. The rules may be different where you live but doesn't make it any less dangerous. Like I said in my original statement, there are no shortage of people who do it though.

[@KrisRifa]

@@ontheroadagainwithvinny931 standing by your statement and all it contains just shows that you either don’t understand what auto steer means or are ignoring what I am writing. Because most of what you wrote does not even apply. That why I said your assumptions, because that is what they are. Especially after I have “corrected” some of them 😊😊

[@ontheroadagainwithvinny931]

@@KrisRifa I have subscribed to Tesla Bjorn for 3/4 years, plus have watched thousands of EV videos from around the world - I fully understand all the intricacies of EVs and their automations. You being fully behind such tech, which in the real world is still in its infancy, proves that you have 100 faith in airbags - what I said in the original post. You would still get fined in the UK.

[@KrisRifa]

@@ontheroadagainwithvinny931 no, again your assumptions is not correct. I have driven 300000km ++ and made almost 500 videos over the past five years using this tech without any incidents. So you may have seen many videos, but I have the experience here doing this 😊 Yes the tech has its limitations, but I use it within them. we’ll leave it at that

[@Andersljungberg]

Google is not always the best way to find an electric car charging station . There may be other websites and apps that are better such as Chargefinder

[@markmd9]

For a while I was wondering, what's so special about driving 1200km, then I figured out that this is driving with an electric car

[@Evphonehome]

What? 60 EUR to cross a bridge? Is it paved in gold?

[@garethnoble11]

Hi Kris, doesn’t the polestar have an app to say charge status? And …. Rødby - Puttgarden ferry is really a great break from the driving. Really recommend it on the way back.

[@maxshreck8353]

I love the fact that you say you're going to Europe when entering Germany.

[@Evphonehome]

Hi Kris, are you following the car’s navigation and suggested charging stops or are you planning them yourself? Just curious here ;)

[@arunmaheshwari2087]

Why didn't you use Ionity charging station in Malmo to charge your car which could do 100% charging within an hour.

[@eyresysleftpeg]

24.8kW/100km.. that's low! Is what I thought. My XC40 P8 gets 38kW/100..miles! About the same. Had me worried there 😁 same sort of speeds, too. 80mph on the speedo.

[@hanshansen384]

In Malmö you only charge with 1- Fase (3,7kW) now you have 3-fase = 11kW.

[@JunkerOnDrums]

I think it's even more expensive in Norway ;-)

[@mandarinmiata8209]

So what was the total charging cost of those 6 charge stops in 1200km?

[@ronaldjanssen105]

214v Only on that charger in the morning. Power supply not optimal to say the least. Or is that normal in Sweden? Here in NL 230-240v is more normal. 214v is a sign of bad wiring or high currents where I live.

[@SkogsMangan]

207 V - 244 V is the requirement, so the spread is pretty big. We used to have 220V nominal, so that's why it can go that low now.

[@ronaldjanssen105]

@@SkogsMangan , wow, that's low. I saw 205v once in Spain. Was on a campsite while charging with 7A 😀 on my Model 3. 1.4 kW for the win, haha.

[@patricebuzz203]

very good video...from canada(montreal)

[@wanderingambience799]

Did you say 140kph?! It’s no wonder efficiency is bad! I believe optimum speed is 90-100kph and doesn’t regenerative braking actually help efficiency? Adds charge whereas constant driving uses more power?

[@mfurmyr]

How about mounting a Gopro filming the dasboard? I do that and take pictures every 10 second. Power with USB cable and easy to make a video in Prmiere. How about also using map to show where you are and where you charge.

[@Nord_Mann]

Doesn’t the Polestar have an app telling you whenever whatever the SOC is? Great challenge! Btw, what’s the purpose of the trip to Italy? Just driving and charging or..?

[@felgen24]

Anyone know the essential cards needed for travelling to France? Kris is fortunate to have the etron card but I don't drive a audi. Aware of the Ionity but really expensive for charging but I have to use it I will. Good to know other cards that work with the French ev network. I like the polestar but they need to improve charging speed hyundai kia and Tesla seems to be able to charge faster.

[@09mathol]

From the looks of it, the charging in the parking garage was only charging at 16A on one phase. To get 11kW you need to be charging at 16 on three phases. Did you use the correct cable (three phase cable and not the one phase cable)?

[@09mathol]

I see that in Stuttgart you got 16A on three phases 🤔

[@alexander5029]

@@09mathol It is an issue with Polestar update P2124, after a few charges it will load again three phases.

This explains a lot

[@Maxzor11]

He Kris, Is it possible (possible, not allowed) to share a charging card? For example I have a card for ionity and also the app, could I give this card to someone else and use the app myself for different cars? Or does the charger know to which car it's connected 😅 ofc all hypothetical...

Would you say the leather seat upgrade is worth it with the ventilated seats? I would imagine you might use less air conditioning with the ventilation which could improve the efficiency. I am interested in the other seats but not sure how the quality compares. What are your thoughts between the two?

[@KrisRifa]

Well I love leather because of the softness of it, especially finer grade ones like the Nappa in the Polestar or Valcona in my E-Tron. But also because you can choose different colors to bright up the interior. So for me, who values it highly I think it is worth it 😊 not sure about efficient though 🙈

[@M4XC4V413R4]

"high consumption" "oh the reason for that was traffic and construction..." what? no it wasn't, that's literally the other way around on electric cars, the only reason why it was so high is because you decided to be a racer for some reason...

[@ojeskog]

My guess is needing to get to the hotel in time for editing and enough rest to continue the journey the next day means its better to hammer it when you can in between the traffic and construction to make up the lost time. Think you'll charge that increased consumption back faster than the time you'd loose if just cruising at consumption friendly speeds in the right lane. Had he been able to maintain that same average speed steadily instead without traffic and road works, consumption would have been lower. A 1200km leg with todays conditions was maybe too ambitious?

[@valtersvingolds5520]

everyone goes nuts pedal to the metal after the construction section ends.

@@alexander5029 Yes even with an non ev car you normally don't vmax all the time, that nuts. The best is to get a good flow where when you see a slow car in front dont break and afterwards accelerate. Just leave the throttle and let the car slow down and when the road is free again, accelerate moderate to a speed where you are comfortable with.
