Guess I got to IG too late for the story about the dent in the car. Any way I can catch up? Did it happen driving out of the hotel parking lot, or did that scooter hit you?
My bad! It is up now 😊😊
Oh dear. Glad to hear that lady was ok. I imagine how you must have fel, too. Not a good feeling to see someone laying on the road 😔
Hope today goes smoothly! Have a safe trip home.
God. I hate this. Happens all the time... for being Mediterranean and so relaxed they seem to be ALWAYS in a hurry, and can never wait... stupid scooters ALWAYS think rules don't apply to them. You're on the right lane, they overtake you on the right. You're on the left lane, they overtake you on the left. Just because they THINK they fit... doesn't give them the right to just squeeze thru. I hope you get the damages covered by HER insurance... IN FULL.
Hey Kris, you need to look after yourself. An extra day in Genoa would have given you time to explore this interesting city and we could have waited an extra 24 h before seeing the return trip. Great trip though. Well done.
5:30 you are crossing the Melide bridge, left and right Lake of Lugano in Ticino Southernpart of Switzerland :-)
5:55 on the right is called lago di Lugano or Luganersee. 😊 I was just Sailing there two weeks ago.
As I said before this is just great content, I would love to see a trip in the western Norway and yeah more trips in Europe as well. Your videos bring a lot of inspiration for my future car change. And you know what….I haven’t heard you say the word Tesla once in this series and it feels so good!! 👍😊
If you're looking for a new cat, remember: adopt, don't buy 🙂😜
@@felixsanhueza omg just saw that, changing it now 😂😂😂
Good to have a beta tester on the roads, before I drive with my xc40 ;)
Please more roadtrip videos👍🏻
Hey Kris ! Be safe on the road man 🙏🏻 we would miss such good content otherwise !
Thanks dude 😊 I’ll be safe 😊
Great job Kris
Yes, we want to follow your trip to Vestlandet in Norway. 👍
It’s coming 😊😍
Glad to see the accident turned out relatively ok Kris. Don't blame yourself, heavy 'scooter' countries are always going to demand a bit of luck for the car driver. Yes, would love to see a trip along the Norwegian west coast (I've been to Bergen and Oslo but not much else unfortunately) and it would also be great to hear even more about how your Polestar 2 experience was from a driver's perspective (comfort, noise, etc.). Keep up the great work man, enjoying it a lot!
West coast of Norway sounds great👍👍 Wanted to do that trip myself for some time
Very inspiring videos 👍 Gives a good and realistic impression on long distance driving i an EV
Great video Kris. Really informative. Keep up the great work 👍🏼😀
Glad you enjoy it 😊
Veldig bra videoer Kris! Litt av noen distanser du kjører 😁 Du må lage flere videoer fra Vestlandet så folk får se hvor fint det er her. Fikk min Polestar2 for ca en måned siden og har nettopp fått tatt den på langtur fra Bergen til Gol, Oslo, Hamar, Åndalsnes, Ålesund og Skei før vi setter snuten mot Bergen igjen i morgen. Bilen er bare nydelig å kjøre 😇
Waiting for those amazing road trips you wanna make !! I really enjoy it Kris !! Keep it up bro, are the best :=)
Next time I want to go to Barcelona 😊😊
@@KrisRifa Do a meet up XD Greetings man !
Hi Kris,
Great trip. I have been to France with my P4 on long trips a few times; and had difficulty charging at the hotel as well once. Charging started but stopped within the minute. I found out that by reducing the amperage manually to 6A the charging was maintained. As it was an overnight charge, finishing at 4 or 8 in the morning did not matter.
Thank you Kris. The Geely is still too expensive and not great value considering they don't give any subsidised charging subscriptions which come with VW ID4 and Ford Mach-e which are also more efficient. Would be great to see you get the Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 these 2 are worth waiting for at least until Toyoya launches the BZ4x which has big expectations
Actually since 1st of July polestar owners charge at ionity at 35ct/kWh
Hey Kris thank you for your time on doing such interesting videos, not the usual run but a Real Life trip which shows the problems you might encounter on a possible vacation trip with an electric car.
Keep up the good work and maybe next time plan some relaxing days on beautiful Liguria.
Thanks for watching and it’s cool to see that you guys are really enjoying the videos from the trip 😊 Tells me that I can make more of these, which will be fun both me and you guys 😊
Absolutely love these videos. We have a P2 and were not counting on being able to drive down to Italy from our home outside Malmö but after seeing your videos we definitely will. Nice work!
Hej
Jag tar för givet att ni prata svenska:)
Jag sitter och väljer mellan tesla m3 LR och ps2 LR.
Har du bara bra att säga kring bilen eller har du ångrat en del saker efter köpet?
Uppskattar ditt svar inför mitt beslut.
Jag har endast testat köra teslan och gillar det tekniska och räckvidden men anser att byggkvaliten kanske inte riktigt är i linje med priset och produkten…
Hur är räckvidden för dig ? Vilken modell och paket valde du/ni?
En annan sak som oroar lite är antalet laddstationer för ps2. Är det lika utbrett som Tesla eller kan man också numera ladda på Teslas stationer som det ryktas om att de ska öppnas upp för andra tillverkare ?
En sista grej jag tänker på är serviceintervaller…. Tesla går ju ut med endast ”rekommendationer ” kring service varje 2 år gällande bromsar och fjädring mm och har inget krav kring det
Hur är polestar med servicen?
Självklart så ingår det ju service ett tag när den är helt ny men hur ser det ut framöver efter det? Jag äger idag en V70 och av erfarenhet med stora tillverkare så verkar det som att om man inte följer deras service på deras märkesverkstäder så kan de exempelvis då begränsa framtida mjukvaruuppdatering eller liknande. Har du några synpunkter kring det?
Tack för din hjälp!
@@AzizIzgin Vi valde P2 för att vi tycker att den kombinerar det som är bra med "gamla" bilar med det som är bra med elbilar. Dvs. snyggare (tycker jag) med "vanlig" grill och inte Teslas näbb-utseende, och en riktig instrumentbräda *framför* föraren och inte på en skärm vid sidan. Flera fysiska reglage som är lätta att manövrera även medan du håller blicken på vägen. Riktigt bra komfort i sätena. Gedigen kvalitet i hela bygget. Allt detta ett arv från Volvo, som vi uppskattar, det märks att det är någon med erfarenhet av att bygga bilar som gjort den här modellen. För vår del var en avgörande punkt att vi måste ha en hundbur i bilen och det funkar inte med Teslas lösning för bagaget där bak. Google-systemet är imponerande bra på att räkna ut hur många procent man har kvar vid ankomst, slår i princip aldrig fel. Röstkommandona till Google assistant är också imponerande, funkar mycket bra.
En nackdel är att den har kortare räckvidd än Tesla, men för oss är det inte jätteviktigt, vi pendlar ca 6 mil varje dag och enbart på semestern reser vi långa sträckor. Men nu har ju Kris visat att det inte ens är ett problem om man ska resa till Italien! :-)
Laddstationer - återigen beror det på hur långa sträckor du kör i vardagen. Vi laddar alltid hemma så normalt behöver vi inte ladda på vägen. Vi har kört några långturer, bla Malmö-Abisko i somras och det funkade bra, liknande Kris erfarenheter i Europa-videorna. Man får planera och hålla ögonen på procenten och nästa laddstation men det funkar. Ovanför Luleå är det dock krassligt, finns inga snabbladdare om man inte har Tesla. Hoppas att det ändras snart.
Den största nackdelen har annars varit att den varit lite buggig i operativsystemet, en del fel som vi hade i början, tex att luftkonditioneringen inte fungerade och även ett tillfälle i vintras då bilden stannade helt och förlorade alla funktioner vilket var obehagligt. Men detta har rett ut sig med nya uppdateringar och idag kan jag inte komma på något som inte funkar som det ska. Bilen är otroligt sportig och roliga att köra.
Vi leasar bilen så vi har inte problemet med servicen men som DN rapporterade för några veckor sen så är ju servicen på elbilar en riktig fuskverksamhet eftersom elbilar egentligen knappt behöver någon service alls. Stor inkomstkälla för bilhandlarna.
En annan nackdel med Polestar är deras ibland usla kundbemötande. Man kan få rena goddag Yxskaft-svar från deras call center och när vi besökte Power stop i Mjölby i somras kunde personerna på plats som skulle representera Polestar inte svara på någon enda fråga och verkade mest vilja gå och gömma sig när vi kom. På riktigt alltså, de blev röda om kinderna och tittade bort när vi började prata med dem. Mannen som hjälpte oss vi snabbladdarna i Mjölby var trevlig men sa rakt ut att han aldrig kört en elbil så han visste inte hur det funkade i praktiken. Det förbryllar mig att ett prestigemärke inte lyckas bättre på den här punkten.
Vi valde de större fälgarna men avstod från performance-paketet och det är jag mycket nöjd med idag. Kan inte komma på hur performance-paketet skulle ha kunnat lyfta vår upplevelse och det är ganska dyrt, men däremot betyder de större fälgarna mycket för utseendet, tycker jag.
Jag är mycket nöjd med vårt val, vi gillar verkligen vår P2, den är snygg, gedigen och mycket rolig att köra!
Awesome series Kris, but ffs take a free day a Genoa to "recharge" yourself
👍 to western norway roadtrip 😀
Thanks for the hint to press the connector into the car. 👍👍👍 I had the same issue at an EnBW with my PS2 charger in DE. This is kind of frustrating….😢
My pleasure! That is rally applies to all EVs and not just the PS2. I see so many people everyday struggling with this…
Kris, if you had been driving an ICE car you would still have taken "comfort and meal breaks", so it would be useful to know how much time in excess of "Comfort & Meal breaks" was spent charging on route. This would give those of us looking to make the change to an EV a clearer picture of how long a journey will take when compared to an ICE car.
That is so true! I will make a follow up video after the trip where I talk more about stuff like this 😊
As many Norway videos as you can please Kris - looks a wonderful country and I plan to make my own P2 road trip (from the UK) all over Norway next year.
Probably won't be making a rival video though - so your fan base is safe!
Great videos! Will there be a part 5?
Heard that traffic back into Norway across E6 was crazy due to new quarantine laws, hope you didn’t get stuck in that mess.
So refreshing to see you take a non-Tesla down to Europe with no problems. Teslabjørn is always complaining in non-Teslas on every long trips and doesn't seems to care about riding quality/comfort - only speed and get there first - like a true Tesla-fanboi :-p
And I didn't know its almost the same length from Oslo to north of Norway / south for Europe. I might take a trip later on 👍👍👍
Yes, Kris, Lake Como is great.
Will be going down to a smal city at the lake, called Varenna, in October. Hopefully the corona is not such an issu then. My son who is also coming to Lake Come will maybe do like you, drive down to Italy (with a Tesla M3). I tipped him about your drive.
I'm sorry you didn't have more time to enjoy Genova. It is such a beautiful place. Which makes me wonder...... What was the point of this trip? Just to show that it is possible in an EV?
I had limited time to do this test, and the point was to drive to the Mediterranean and back in an EV. To see how easy or hard it is 😊 Hopefully I will do more trips in the next few months and also make time for visiting different places 😊
I find the EV roadtrip a little stressful. If you have to charge 3 out of 15 hours that is 20% of the time. For everyday use charging at night it makes sense, but for long trips, maybe not as much.
The good thing is that if you are driving 15 hours you are going to have to stop to eat a few times and go to the bathroom a few times. If you time it well, you can charge while you eat and not have to wait much for the charging to complete.
Warning to you Kris Hope you passed the Köpenhamn area Before the 2/8 of August other wise Köpenhamn is red Zone after 2/8 so go by Hirzhalts- Kristiansand or via Travmynde to Trelleborg
Go to ålesund
I
I would love to see same trip with Audi GT or Ioniq 5 and fast charging on Ionity chargers. I wonder how much time can be saved just on 800v charging.
Could you do a onboard rout planner comparison between different car brands?
Polestars looks better the i thought, so them and Tesla seem ahead of the market.
I'm watching your videos and I'm loving them. What is your battery size?
I think 75 net. As far as I know there's only one battery pack for P2
👍👍
It seems to me that the biggest issue with the Polestar is the GOM. My Etron, on long trips by Nav, adjusts the GOM at the start and continually during the route and it takes into account all aspects of the route. So far, in 10,000 miles of ownership, it has never got it wrong (used more electricity than estimated) and usually ends up with 5% - 10% spare range which is always a good thing.
GOM?
@@farfromsensibletv EV driver insider-joke:
Guess-O-Meter which shows remaining range.
@@abraxastulammo9940 I shall remember that, family owns a polestar so good to know
@@farfromsensibletv what Kris calls the guessometer, the calculation the car gives when referring to range remaining
My Polestar 2 also adjusts the expected range. Must be based on some average consumption calculation.
Hi Chris, I think you were a little bit mistaken about the countries you visited. Heidiland is still in Switzerland and not in Austria. Looking at the route you followed, I’m quite sure you never put a wheel in Austria (San Bernardino pass and the Rhein valley) 😜
Well if you watch the video, I didn’t go to Heiland but Hochenems.. so yes I was in Austria and was wide awake as I crossed the boarder and read the sign that said Austria 😂🙈
Did you buy a little bit of pesto, the original, at least in Genova?
8:20. Lol, the cog wheel merging isn't a thing in Norway right? Haha
Great car the polestar but needs to charge quicker and more range.
Btw Kris! Do you get anything from Polestar for doing this, other than borrowing the car? Any strings attached? Recommend you to be clear about any kinds of benefits or disclaimers as part of being an EVfluencer! Besides that - great trip ☺️
Nope! Polestar are kind enough to supply me with the car and unlimited miles, but nothing beyond that 😊
How long did you get the peak speed when charging though? Given some of the other cars on the market getting 150KW for a few minutes is just not good enough. I’d expect 150KW from low percentages all the way up to at least 70%. The Polestar 2 never got close to that in any of the charging videos I’ve seen, which is disappointing.
Then you should by the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQE (E-class equivalent, to be released late 2021/early 2022) or the Audi e-tron
You should get the Audi e-tron 55 quattro, e-tron GT, Porsche Taycan or the IONIQ 5 then. I think these cars are the only ones that can live up to your expectations. 😊 However, I’m not sure it’s necessary.. I drive the e-tron. Most of the time, it charges almost too fast for me to finish my errands and get ready for the next leg. I don’t drive on the German Autobahn though..
What I do appreciate is the ability to top up fast at higher SOC, like 70-100%. 👍
Ioniq 5 and EV 6 are the new charging kings.
@@abraxastulammo9940 It depends, a three year old e-tron 55 quattro still charges faster from 50-100%, which is actually very useful in real life. At this SOC the IONIQ 5, and presumably the EV6, charges at an average rate of 6,6 km/min (62 kW) vs. the e-tron 55 quattro at 8,7 km/min (100 kW).
Back to the Polestar 2, you’re not buying it because of the charging speed or other on-paper specs. It’s the drive, the great infotainment, head lights and almost premium feel a very competitive price. And who knows. Maybe they’ll increase the charging speed OTA in the future, like other manufacturers? 🙂
Buongiorno Signore
I hope you didn't get the full Italian price on ionity, it's 0.79€ per kWh
Charging at Ionity costs 31 cents with the e tron charging card he's got. (1st year is free, after that it costs 18 euros/month)
Polestar's plugsurfing card also has a similarly low price
No video today?
You went to Italy and got a dent? Doesn’t surprise me at all. Lol
So you did not even visit Genoa? Why?!?
To make five CZcams videos and test how hard or easy driving an EV to the south of Europe is 😊
@@KrisRifa Come on man, you should also enjoy seeing these places. :) Just saying...
@@danielstoicamusic in part five I talk about having limited time to do a trip, that’s why it was just down and up. Next time though, I’ll plan it more like a small holiday 😊
Great video series. It shows that driving through Europe with an EV is not much of a hassle, well at least there where you have IONITY chargers.
On a personal note, 23kWh/100km is too much IMHO, and not OK.
Why not just tell us what happened, not everyone loves Social Media and shouldn't have to join social media to find out the story of the dent/incident.
Because this video and the intro would be 5 minutes longer, just go to IG webpage if you don’t want to use their app 🙂 just click the link below and you are there mate 😊
@@KrisRifa 5 min though isn't long at all not when there are 10hr livestream videos or even 1hr edited videos on YT. I'll check out the weblink you reference and see if it works without needing to 'login' to IG to see it.
