SWMBO is due a new company car, and they have issued an edict saying it's got to be fully EV. She stamped her feet but to no avail.
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!

Polestar are the only EV I like the look of - when they launched at Festival of Speed yonks ago I was impressed with the build quality.
Having said that a few weeks before we had a Dad family treat day out at Ascot for the Red Bull Air Racing when Paul Bonhome was winning it all and they had a Tesla there and frankly it looked like a poorly constructed kit car with shut lines you could get a matchbox car through.
Good luck to the good lady with the new wheels.

![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2026/09/14/IMG_1139.jpeg) Very satisfied with my iX3 50, fantastic range, here in The Netherlands with lots of speed limits range almost 700 km in real life, on holidays in Germany with luggage, 4 people and a bicycle rack and AC on with temp > 35 degrees celsius far over 500 km. And it drives very well, motoring 2.0!!

Yeah, she fancied a BM but not on the options list unfortunately.

The Polestar is the only EV I’d go for…… if I was forced…..🤦🏻♂️
I’ve been out in one from Bicester motion, they have a showroom there.
The build quality looks very good.

The Polestar is the only EV I’d go for…… if I was forced…..🤦🏻♂️ If only they were available in a colour rather than just shades of grey. We're still completely happy with our Mini SE. 5 years and 35k miles, it's just as good as the day we drove it out of the showroom. Or it would be if I cleaned it a bit more often. I can't see us changing it for a good few years yet, if at all.
