From Battery Life.
Description
I took the Polestar 4 Dual Motor (544 HP, 100 kWh battery) on a 600 km long-distance highway test at 140 km/h to see how it really performs in cold, rainy German traffic.
In this video, I cover:
Real-world consumption & range results
Charging sessions & speed (200 kW peak, Ionity, Aral Pulse, Mercedes chargers)
How it handles comfort, suspension, and noise levels
Problems with cruise control, phantom braking & steering assist
My final verdict after 5h 35min on the Autobahn
Spoiler: charging was strong, but the assistance systems were a letdown.
