So we're bracing ourselves for fully entering the EV world. She does a lot of mileage (25k + a year) so wanted one with as much range as possible. There were only three options with a reported range of over 400miles, which will obviously be less in real world use. Two were Mercedes CLA models but the bigger Mercs have a whiff of 'lard/end of life care' and there was also an issue with the type of chargers she could use, so she's opted for a Polestar 2 fastback. I think it's basically a Volvo so fingers crossed it'll be OK.

Will update when it EVentually arrives!

Does she ever do 400 miles in a day?

Yes on occasions, and 300+ more often. Hence wanting a 400+ advertised range as the reality is rarely as good.
