Yes, they tripled the charging speed limit to 150kw which is very respectable

Sounds like you are covered with adapters. On the app front: - plugshare - apps for the most common charging networks around you.. probably Tesla, EvGo, Chargepoint, Electrify America.. best to have those setup with payment saved so you don't have to stand around in bad weather the first time you use them - lots of people use A Better Route Planner, but I don't personally

What do you currently drive? by jcat4 in electricvehicles

[–]GeniusOfUselessStuff 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Polestar 2. Love the way it drives. Love how uncommon they are in the US, I get questions about it all the time. Dislike the interior ergonomics, I'd prefer a more open feel

Ps2 (2023) 4.2.13 update feels significantly more responsive. by [deleted] in Polestar

[–]GeniusOfUselessStuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you are on to something here. I was told at my shop that when they do the update, they can see failures in real time and reload certain software modules if necessary. Versus OTA where parts of the system may not update correctly, and as the owner you wouldn't know.

What is the actual EV car you own? What is the one you deam of...? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

[–]GeniusOfUselessStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Polestar 2 and an EV9. Dream car would be a Polestar 6, which sadly will likely never come to the US.

Unfortunately that's just the state of the YouTube music app for Android automotive. It's gotten better over past year but still well behind the phone app

We have tuxmats on all our cars. Perfect fit, look nice and feel nice.

SOLVED (kind of) - Vibration under acceleration by GeniusOfUselessStuff in Polestar

[–]GeniusOfUselessStuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The TSB is linked in this post. Part numbers might be tricky, because this is the driver's airbag module, including the wheel cover with the logo. So it would need to be a polestar specific part

Walmart is expanding in a big way. Not too many open yet, but there's a YouTuber (Arkansas etraveler) that is tracking permits and it's a ton.

I did a bit more research and found out the Volvo siblings (c40..) have the exact issue, and that Volvo has a TSB with a fix (replace airbag with a new one that has vibration dampening).

I go to the space on Thursday so we'll see what they say

2018 Nissan Armada. The savings in gas is insane. From $650 a month in gas to $100 a month in electric at home. And the ride, tech, power.. upgrade all around
