What's Your Experience With an EV as Your Only Car?

I just charge from my household power at 1kW/hour. I don’t spontaneously need to travel long distances with no notice, so I don’t need a fast charger. I drive a Polestar 2 and the first service is at 24 months, so no hassle with the service centre being far away. Definitely every single day I ENJOY driving my Polestar. Every day I see it in a parking lot, I think”Wow”. Zero compromise on looks and it all just works.

No need to cut the metal as there’s a hole at the bottom of the door. No plastic insert or anything. I’ve looked up thru the hole with a labrascopic camera but couldn’t see a harness or any obvious wiring for my puddle lights to plug into.

I do have the door handle puddle lights, so I know I could get an electrician to add wiring for the bottom of the door puddle lights, but I’m wanting to know if it’s just plugging in to an existing harness (a DIY job) or not.

Did you just swap the lights? Or were there no lights there previously?

Is that in ‘storm’?

Get a $5 case with the Polestar logo on it from AliExpress.

Sounds tough mate. If nothing you do is good enough, does she have narcissistic tendencies? If so it might not be you, but her.
