Based on what we’ve learned with our XC90 Recharge, the PHEV engines are designed to withstand the frequent on/off cycles. We were told the best approach is to leave the car in Hybrid setting and let the system do its thing optimizing power and efficiency. It also learns your driving style. In my profile it keeps the engine on more because I accelerate harder. When my husband drives it stays in EV because he accelerates like a 100 year old nun.

As a longtime Volvo/Polestar fan, that spec of Polestar 1 is simply beautiful. One of the nicest looking cars on the road in my opinion.
@cbatiau25289 ай бұрын
Yes, and the Polestar 1 interior looks much better than the Polestar 2 or Polestar 3 interiors, as Polestar unfortunately transitions to crappy Tesla-like interiors.

(1:22:40) ... wasn't this the same weekend as the Porsche Monterey meet? That's probably why you see so many 911s parked downtown there. Alyssa was a completely different person on this trip from any video I've ever seen before -- much more talkative and lively and upbeat. Did something change? Also, regarding your negative comments about PHEVs, Kyle: we have two of them now (XC60 T8 ER; RAV4 Prime), and they are perfect for us. It's not a question of carrying extra battery weight or engine weight for us; we get better highway long-roadtrip mileage than we did in any of our ICEVs, and we drive about 50-65% of our total miles (locally) in all-electric, with an average out-of-town roadtrip once a month that makes having the ICE worthwhile. I still hold that PHEVs are the natural bridge between ICEVs and BEVs for most people, and that PHEVs will become much more popular and have much higher sales in the coming decade. I'd take that Polestar 1 battery pack any day in my PHEVs!!! I'd vastly prefer 65-70 miles of all-electric range over the 50 miles that we get from our RAV4 Prime! In my opinion, 40-45 miles is the minimum practical real-world range for all-electric driving to make PHEVs really useful and practical.

Great video Kyle. I find it interesting that you talk about carrying around the battery pack during a trip, but don't mention that 99% of the time you're carrying around an ICE and fuel tank for no reason as well. Keep up the awesome work!

@theredmonkey9 ай бұрын
I drove from Sacramento to Monterey, I miss living down there, and it was far enough to drive for car week. Road trips are rare, especially long road trips for most people, so a BEV is generally ok, but a PHEV is a good alternative. That turn off in Santa Nella has a new Tesla Supercharger expansion at the Oso hotel there by that Panda Express.

Great content, and thanks for what you do. You saw two signs for the continental divide because you were going across the Great Divide Basin. A section of the continental divide where it splits in two. Within the basin in the Red Desert there, the water only drains into the basin. And wyoming being wyoming, much of the water just evaporates off. The couple inches that falls there. Just a simple thing I thought I'd share. I grew up in Wyoming and lived there for about 30 years. I respect that you like Rock Springs, but that's a no thank you for me. Haha.😂

My first trip to California was in Oct 2011. I was at a resort about a mile from downtown Caramel by the Sea. Even then, that place was a Mecca for high performance & exotic cars. Right we’re you guys parked, has the best sunsets in the world. Bonus. The Monterey aquarium, though small, is amazing. Also did you notice, they’re no street lights (poles in the ground) in that little area.

Interesting thought on the time you spend charging. You always hear people talk about range. Almost never about the time you spend charging. To me the range is second factor. I admit the long range would be nice, but I also want fast charging. When you can charge a car as fast as you fill up with gasoline or diesel that’s when it becomes interesting to me. Yes PHEV are terrible regarding range compared to the full EV. But I have to disagree about PHEV on road trips. Yes they will never have EV range factor, but on a daily basis the EV range usually enough for daily commuting. But on those long road trips across USA/CA or AUS or Europe when you’re going on summer vacation or holidays the gasoline engine is nice to have when you have little to no charging stations along the highway or freeway

Wow. Did not know they pressurize fuel tanks for PHEVs but totally makes sense. While I think the Polestar 1 is a very cool car, I don't see how PHEVs are a good long term option if you plan to keep the car more than a couple years with all the added things in them like a pressurized fuel tank lol. Will need to swing in and check out Still Whiskey steaks next time I'm in the Denver area.

I estimate my Hyundai Hybrid (HEV not PHEV) engine has started ~36 thousand times in the past 6 years. Still starts no issue and starts very quick and quietly but makes me wonder how long it could go. All city driving, low milage, etc. The car will rust or break way before any reasonable number of miles due to basically no highway.

“Our“ hotel room? Ooh La La! If you were in a relationship, do you think your new girlfriend would want you staying in the same hotel room as your ex girlfriend on a multi day road trip? I didn’t watch the whole video or look at the dialogue, but maybe this means they’re together romantically. I hope so. Everyone deserves to be happy if it’s good for both of them. If they are still broken up, but they have a separate, ongoing, mature friendship, then that’s really nice too.

I'm only half way through this video but curious. is Polestar built different from Volvo? I have an S60 with the 11.6kwh battery. I've ran it to "empty" and charged it up and the stations I charged up at always gives me a summary saying I've charged 7.5-8.5kwh and then i use the app to compare and I usually see something like 9-10kwh used but like 2kwh regen. So does this mean, at least with my car, the actual usable is far lower than the published 11.6 and there is probably some pretty larger buffer on the top and bottom? I've spoken with a couple of Volvo engineers and although they wont give me specific numbers, they are telling me not to worry about charging to 100% or depleting the battery. IF my hypothesis is correct, I wonder if the polestar 1 is also designed in the same way.
@MrGardenRailroads9 ай бұрын
I have a volvo s60 as well with the same battery and based on my research and own driving it seems like volvo only let's you use 70% of the advertised battery. My guess is that they leave a 10% buffer on the bottom even when the instrument gauge reads its empty and a 20% buffer up top even when it reads 100% on the gauge. This would make it to where you would never have to worry about fully draining or full charging the battery.

PHEVs are dumb compromises. You buy a car for the few times that you actually road trip, but in fact it spends 99% of its lifetime in city traffic. So buy the car according to your average usage and accept the little longer stops the few times you really roadtrip. This car is so heavy as it has to pull two entire drive trains and therefore has this bad efficiency…

Gas, it's the way of the future xD. Unless we get Trump back in and federal energy policy brings costs down, we're going to eventually get to the point where gas is convenient, but you'll have to pay a major premium for that convenience it seems. But then again the fees and cost of ownership along with up front costs to BEVs aren't getting much better either.
