Misha: a tip when you are pouring liquid from a large / 5 litre container is to have the opening at the top. This way air can easily enter the container and the liquid will pour in a smooth, continuous stream without splashing. Spotted when you were refilling the windscreen washer fluid.

Misha, it's best when the tank is full, turn it 90 degrees so that the wider side is parallel to the hood of the car and then start pouring with a decisive movement, I've been pouring liquid like this for many years without any funnels, vents and without spilling - practice from my former work at the gas station :)

We did 400 miles from the UK to Phantasialand last summer in a Hyundai Ioniq 28kWh. Bit of a dump of thoughts from the trip: Stops 1.5h apart which we really liked, charge for 20 minutes, and repeat. With that size battery while the charger spacing is fine (excluding France, so far behind, had to go to a Lidl for one stop because the main route Paris>Calais is a charging desert..), you can't always pick the optimum charger locations so had to go slightly off route a couple of times. Did homework and filtered chargemap for the good charging companies, got a plugsurfing card, all was well. Germany is amazing for EV road trips. Ionity and Fastned everywhere, and every other service station has at least a 300kW shared EnBW charger if not ionity. Worked flawlessly. Agree with you completely, it's such a relaxing way to road trip, even in our 'cheap' EV.

Cool insights! During my last trip longer trip to Nurnberg (700 km from where I live), I stopped a total of 5 times for charging, 15 to 20 minutes each time, charging anywhere from 5% to 70% at most. I was pretty pleased with that result, this was the optimum way in terms of time loss (you basically charge with the best possible charging curve between those SoC values), and I also felt well rested and realized that 15 minutes is not enough to do anything more concrete 😂

Always good to have well behaved furbabies and a lovely companion on a long trip!

I love EV road trips in 2020 we went from Denmark to Croatia and this year I have two trips, one to Zürich and one to Red Bull Ring. I like it much better than in the old days were we drove all night as long as possible before the rest of the car woke up. Now it is much more relaxing with a charging break about every 2 hours. We have a Tesla Model 3 LR (2020), with a newer Model 3 or even the updated Polestar 2 which arrives this year it is getting much easier to road trip in an EV. We never experienced any problems on the trips and usually the car is done charging before we are done eating. Just once back and fourth from Croatia did we have to wait for an available charger for 5 minutes.

Big adventure! I moved across the USA with my Polestar a few months ago, it went smoothly except for the cats hated my partner's Golf so we had to do some shuffling at a few charge stops lol You're making me want to start planning this year's big EV road trip early! (Edit: the Polestar you inspired me to get!)

Awww the dogs just chilling in the back seats 😊

I didn't expect to see an EV road trip on this channel, thanks Misha. I've got similar observations as you from my 2 years with my first EV. Doing long journeys maybe 4 times a year, it is mostly fine and yes it takes longer but I get to the end of 1000 km trips a lot more rested. My Niro doesn't charge as fast as a Polestar but is probably more economical and it does all right on long trips. Once you get used to syncing your stopping needs with the car charging needs, it is really not that bad, especially in the summer if all the charging stops happen as planned, then the 1000 km take maybe 1 hour longer than it used to in a diesel, but it doesn't take much to trip things up There generally aren't enough chargers yet and when you are travelling at busy times, waiting for chargers is pretty common, and like you observed, sometimes chargers are down or not giving you all the juice they should. At Christmas, not having to wait for chargers but having to swap a few times due to slow charging, the 1000 km took us maybe 2.5, 3 hours more than with a diesel. The next EV will be a Tesla, good efficiency, good charging, better charging network, I expect the road tripping experience to improve significantly.

Big up Misha 🙌🏼

I loved driving the Polestar 2! I’m working on a cinematic review of it right now!

2:53 Pancake 😍😍😍😍

I also recently did a longer trip in my Polestar 2 - 840km - and it was, frankly, torture. Charging infrastructure in the area I live is good, but as we got further away, we had problems with finding chargers that were working, for various reasons, and with the speed of highway travel in the US, we were only getting a maximum of 130mi/210km per 90% charge - each of which was taking around an hour. Also, oddly enough, there are not chargers in most rest stops in most states along the major traveling routes - we had to often take 10-25 minute detours to get a charger at a mall, shopping center, or hotel. Cost to charge was slightly worse than price-per-mile for gasoline, too. The whole 8hr 40min trip ended up taking up closer to 13 hours each way. In my BMW 7 series it would have taken under 9 hours, with only two ~10 min stops to fill up.

Can’t wait for your review of your MY24!! what a trip!

Not to bad to be honest. And the cars are getting better and better. I would love to have an ev as a daily driver with a fun ice car for the weekends. But for now they are to expensive for me that I can’t afford both.

Noble cream is my favorite google translate of Nurburgring.

Good video

I have driven Vancouver, BC to Bend, OR twice now (summer and winter) in my LRDM P2. It is a 730km trip and generally has two charging stops. I have driven it in an hybrid ioniq with 1 stop before. It used to take 8.5hrs in an Ice car and now takes about 9.5hrs with the electric car. I find the biggest difference is that when I get there, my back doesn't hurt and I am not exhausted. If you are already in for 8.5hrs and extra hour is not so bad. ABRP has helped a lot with planning the charging stops as Google maps is just wrong about state of charge.

Thank you Misha!! Someone trying to see if EV is a viable alternative without bias. Regarding charging prices, it is extortionate however I will mention that Ionity do "Ionity Passport" which is a monthly subscription at around 15 Euros a month however it reduces the unit charge cost from 79c to 33c / kW so if you charge any more than 200kW per month it means cost per kW is 40c which makes it way cheaper than petrol costs and on a par if not slightly cheaper with diesel. There are other subscription services for other chargers but I find Ionity as the fastest most reliable and best priced charge network (and I don't work for them!)

I can't imagine any long trip is really less constrained in an EV. That is basically the ICE trick - that you can bang in energy super fast. But with care a long journey in an EV can be completely fine, I drive from south England to Scotland quite regularly. With planning it is nearly as quick, and certainly more relaxing. And the obvious point - for all of the rest of my driving the first 200 miles from home are always without any stress or payment. And I have a similar P2 with performance upgrade, so that power is always on tap.

Brilliant 👍🏼 Oh man that E30 was pristine. I’ve had 2. A 325i se (4 door) and a 318is M sport. Looking at the prices of them now I wish I’d never sold them. My first BMW was an E28 5 2.8i back in 1999

The QL on your numberplate stands for "Quality Luggagespace" ^^

brother, what'up.thanks. how superb - 💯

Hey, I roadtrip solo every couple of weeks 'twees Brisbane and Newcastle here in Australia (750km trip each way) in a TM3 RWD, it takes 7.5hrs + 30mins charging (AU$40). In my Lancer it would take 7.5hrs and AUD$80. Now, if I had dogs and a wifey, yes it'd also take 14hrs and cost twice an ICE journey. Don't you worry!

Doing long trips with an EV is much easier now compared to 3 years ago. Doing the 80%-10% rule is also easier because there are much more chargers now. The thing that still sucks is being dependant on the local infrastructure to charge when you don’t park in a hotel or a garage at your destination. If you go to the Netherlands or Germany it’s gonna be fine, there are plenty of chargers. If you go to Belgium (especially Wallonie), good luck finding one. For your next trip, you can try adding other chargers companies on top of Ionity. For example, the Polestar 2 can charge on Tesla Superchargers. That would add (in theory) an extra number of waypoints and reduce your total travel time event more.

Well you could charger in no-Ionity charger. Great video. Hope you can test a NIO ET5 (better Touring) and BYD Seal. Thanks for the videos and opinions.

Thanks for the insight, very pleasing to gather Info on this topic from you. I’ve never done a long trip with an EV. Though last year I’ve driven to Italy with my vw Golf (900km each way) and spent a good 12h on the road, taking the time for food stops and girlfriend‘s bathroom stops every 2h or so. Bearing in mind that this is more realistic rather than trying to beat Google maps (which everyone of us is guilty of.. 😉) I could have done this in an EV of some sort. But the costs are just insane. I’ve spent 250€ on fuel for the entire trip, I find your costs a bit too much but they’ll get there one day.

You could have cut your charging time by charging to about 60% when it starts tapering off on the charging amount into the battery. Out of Spec Motoring does this on cross country trips and it saves him a lot of charging time. But you do have to stop more but it is worth it. The cost is what is surprising a lot of people because everyone has been saying that it would be cheaper to operate. Not so...

Those with cars from manufacturers that own ionity (VW, Audi, Porsche, ford, Hyundai) get to charge for c35c/kWh at ionity, less than half what you paid.

Normally you set a charging limit to 80% so that you get better charging rates and is more healthy for the car battery. Them you already know Misha the less charge you have on the battery, the more faster is charging.

Depends on compatible charging along the route, plus EV range is known to decline in winter for all EVs regardless of brand.

As a Hybrid driver (gen II prius) i’m curious about the trip planner in the polestar, does it plan the entire trip with charging ? For what i’ve seen in the videos, the one from Tesla can tell you for the whole trip, that you’ll have 3 stops for example, and tell you that at stop one you’ll arrive with 10% SoC, charge it up to 80%, stop two you’ll be at 12%, charge it up to 60%, and stop 3 you’ll be at 8%, charge it up to 90%, and you’ll arrive at your destination with 30% SoC. All from the start of the trip. Also, is there a crossover between charging station brands i mean if you have ionity, can you use the card on non ionity chargers (or can you use your standard credit card to pay ?)

My fastest trip in the US was from Kentucky to middle of Texas 1046 miles or 1683km time was 12 hours +/-. Stopped at 1/4 tank to re fuel and during that time I would use the bathroom and grab quick snacks. I have a similar approach on road trips where I just want to “get there” and not waste time. My point of that is , I could see my self getting an EV to go to work & back but not long journeys. However cost benefit is substantial. Used 4 tanks of fuel on that trip.

Nice trip But the cost comparison is not correct. Especially with the Polestar 2 you get a special IONITY deal where you pay €0.35 per kWh (and newly €0.40) when using your Plugsurfing card. So a standard charging stop between 50 - 60 kWh is more around the €20.- for 200 - 300 km depending on weather and speed. But wihtout these special deals that lots of Manufactureres offer it can really get expensive. Still comparing the consuption of a somewhat 100kW ICE car with a 350 kW sports car is not really fair. ;-)

when pouring fluids the hole must be the highest point not lowest

You cant compare Ionity Charging to regular fast charging prices. Ionity is extremely overpriced and sadly even unreliable.. Last year in the summer I made a roadtrip from Cologne to Svolvaer (Lofoten, Norway) in my Tesla Model 3 SR+ (around 250km of usable range when staying between 10-90% and driving moderately fast in Germany and speed limit in all other countries) without taking ferries. Overall it was 7300km within 10 days of driving, with around 700km stages each day (9-10h of driving). And although it was a very long trip with an electric car, it was a stress-free and relaxing trip (partly due to the many charging stops and a lot less traffic up there). Thanks to the Supercharger Network, where almost every station can be used by every EV brand in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, there was not a single charging issue and the overall cost was not that high (~45ct / kWh and about 1050kWh used).

Funny, this seems to show some cultural differences between Europe and the US. Most Americans do not view roadside rest as a good thing. We just want to get where we're going (and probably back to work).

Bedankt voor dit inkijkje van EV reizen, dit is niet voor mensen die records willen zetten op reisafstanden. Snel laders onderweg zijn duur, als je thuis zonnepanelen hebt laad je gratis, ik ken niemand met een eigen benzine of diesel bron in de tuin.

My EV only makes 150km stints, so on longer trips there are too many stops, but I bought an old, used EV and saved a ton on the price. But 350 days a year I don‘t need to spend any minute at a petrol station and have a preheated car that definitely is better for our environment. The charging stops on long trips are a tradeoff I‘m happily willing to take.

Nice car, but 6 hours more when you are doing it quite efficient is still quite a bit more. I would be to impatient for that.

Reason for mentioning this is because fuel companies can produce lower emissions with fuel. They just don't want to because of cost.plus they see the electric car falling on its face. We shall see what happens. I can see hundreds of so called batteries on wheels lineing up at charging points because there will never be enough. 6/ 7 mins to fuel car up now. 1/2 hrs to charge a battery on wheels .

I'll happily check out cars once my leasing contract is up in 4 years, curious about the development that will have happened by then.

Finally some foodshots again. Foodshot 2/10

Way to expesnive for your average joe. You should not buy brand new just based on the depreciation it gets for rolling off the lot. EVs will kill the used car market. Welcome to hell, where no one can afford to travel and shipping cost sky rocket. Do you think your children will be able to buy a car their first car when they are old enough to drive? Not Likely, my first car cost 400$ . But hey we're saving the enviorment by using rare earth metals and lithium instead of gasoline and oil.

I would rather travel in an mk2 golf 1.6d

what i'm worryed about is the "ever after" EV is now a very nice story but there comes a time for recycling (or beter the lack off ...) recycling battery's or solarpanels etc is a $ nightmare and even windmills are failing on a massive scale now wich are also nonrecyclable $ wise i've pro hydrogen from the start, but that was supresed from the start axcept for the ever growing BRICS nations

Actually, companies are cropping up to do recycling. With huge automotive battery packs, the basic chemistry is known, thus easier to recycle. e.g. NMC vs LFP.

@@TamagoHead about battery's: why these battery's with those rare and very harmfull metals? salt battery's is just 1 exsample of the several without those metals but ya don't even need battery's in the first place ! there are currently over 900 ! pattents that could provide FREE nrg blocked and ppl are killed over je because that would make capitalism obsolete and take away the power of the "elite"
