(Volvo) Polestar 2

[Gargamel]

Hello.

Ive been looking on the polestar 2 and perhaps sell the stinger and lease one. The price would be like 1/3rd of the stinger per month (around $345$/mo).

Due to changes in work, i might start to weekly travel for work with the car, thats why this got so interesting.

Anyone else looked on the polestar 2?

Is the electric charger infrastructure that good in Sweden? I know Teslas are very common in both Norway and Sweden.
Does the government support buying electric that strongly or how would the price be so much cheaper? Or how come your Stinger is so expensive?
I love the visual side of the Polestar's different cars but if I were to buy electric I would probably go Tesla, and I am sure that I will in the future, once Estonia catches up in terms of electronic infrastructure.

After 6 months, in sweden we get almost $6900 back for pure electric cars.
Whole europe has tons of charging places, and more coming (i heard).


The price for my stinger is just some quick head math based on the value reduction from what i paid for it and what i would get for it when/if i sell it.

the PS2 has around 408 HP with dual eletric motors, and about the same times 0-100kmh for the untrimmer stinger 3.3

I've said for years, if I had infrastructure support (living in my own house with charging opportunity, charger availability always near office) then I would instantly buy an electric car and I agree that the Polestar is amazing so honestly I would very very strongly consider it.
PS: if you end up doing it, I'll buy the JB4 etc off you

I Went by the store and test-sat in it, totally microscopic, i had perhaps 1/3rd of an inch between my right knee and the steering wheel.
The steeringwheel can hardly go upward, and out (towards driver) almost nothing.

Different animal to the Stinger but looks nice. Why do you want to sell the Stinger?

Jesus christ you're a huge dude What about something like that Jaguar I-Pace? Mercedes EQC? too far out of the budget? I don't have a clue about electric car pricing haha

Im going to start weekly travel for work, and with 10000 km service interval, im going to have the stinger in service once a month-ish.
Meaning i would lose one workday each month just having it in service, also with roughly 13L/100km average i have now, it will become costly just to put miles and miles on the meter.

Jaguar is really expensive, cost what a Tesla model X without options.

Found the Mercedes EQC that looks interesting for the weekly traveling.

 

[TimT]

Fantastic! I love the idea behind the EQC and it will be a great companion for your new needs

I have to say you Scandinavians & Baltics demonstrate very good English or you Ex Pats from somewhere else?

 

[TimT]

English is very widespread - taught from an early age, very widely used in most professional fields etc. Its the same for pretty much all 4 of the Scandinavian / Nordic countries but slightly less so for countries like Latvia & Lithuania.

English is mandatory in swedish schools, part of the curriculum. I think we start with english around 2nd class or something in school.

Thanks guys, i haven't been a European for coming up to 42 years back then Europe didn't talk English fluently except maybe the Dutch . I hear some on Tv talk it so well theyve acquired English accents. Olè Gunnar Solsjaèr is one lol. I bet most Europeans jaws drop when they see your Stingers must be so rare.
