Road Test

The Polestar 2, a tall hatchback from Volvo’s electric vehicle sub-brand, failed to impress with its bone-jarring ride, tight interior, and confusing controls, all of which more than overshadowed the positives of its zippy acceleration and agile handling. Plus, the Polestar 2’s EPA-rated driving range of 233 miles is less than the much cheaper Chevrolet Bolt, not to mention Tesla models that get more than 300 miles of range. We also found that the range-prediction display was often overly optimistic, which can be disconcerting and lead to range anxiety. It took more than 10 hours to charge on a 240-volt connection.
