Polestar 2 Long Range

[artemis]

Second-hand Polestar 2 Long Range deals are tempting me big time! Looking to get a sense of real-world efficiency (miles per kWh) - how are folks doing on both highway miles and regular driving? Numbers on paper are great, but real driver experiences are even better! Anyone care to share their stats?

I have a long range single motor PS2 that we bought 2 months ago.

We just had a 285 mile road trip from Dothan to Fort Payne.

On our recent trip, the car was super efficient, using only 24.0 kWh of energy for every 100 miles driven (that's 4.16 miles per kWh!). Even though the battery is technically 82.2 kWh, let's say the usable capacity is around 80 kWh. With that, the car could go an estimated 332 miles on a single charge. That kind of range is fantastic and makes long road trips a piece of cake (Take note that I was using ACC the whole trip)

Just chiming in with my experience! Owned my standard range and racked up 20k miles. The last reset was 6 months ago, and in that time I've averaged 4 mi/kWh (20.2 kWh/100 mi) and I'm pretty happy with that! Most driving is around town, but I've also done some long trips. I'm surprised by the efficiency.

I own a 24 LRDM. The majority of the miles were traveled on highways. Typically, the speed ranges between 70 and 75. Range has been below average (normally 270 miles per charge for runabouts versus 220 miles per charge for this trip). Definitely need to tweak the environment and turn off OPD while on the highway. I do wonder, however, if the cruise will reduce the overall range. I'm going back today to see what happens if I turn everything to optimal and drive manually.
