"Electric vehicles are not environmentally friendly" is a fact that actually exists at this stage. The main thing is that electric energy as a renewable resource is still full of problems, you say, elegant wind power, many times it only has "elegant wind power", and can not give long-term power generation, most of the electricity you currently use is from what form of power generation, everyone knows; for example, in order to obtain some elements needed for electric vehicle batteries, there are many underage child laborers in some countries in the world who are forced to do coolies to dig underground...
Of course, in terms of current technology, electric vehicles are the most popular "environmental protection" option, at least more in line with the trend of world development than internal combustion vehicles. In addition to making the madwoman Greta Thunberg happy, it can also make some Western politicians get more votes. For us, it is also one of the ways to catch up with the world in the field of automotive industry.
So, you don't buy an electric car, it's an option for you. If you don't accept the existence of electric vehicles, then you are stubborn and backward.
For an electric car with enough performance material, there is no denying that it is really cool to drive! For example, this Polestar 2 I recently test-drove, the control is not only first-class, it is simply incredible! Under the same road conditions, the control is not worse than the Audi S3, and the driving texture is above the Tesla Model 3.

The popularity of polestar 2 compared to Tesla Model 3 is indeed far from the same. But this does not affect Volvo's Polestar brand in the creation of an electric car, the ultimate pursuit of driving balance.
With the blessing of the dual motors, the performance data of Polestar 2 looks quite amazing, but in actual experience, Polar Star 2 is not as fast as imagined. The acceleration sensation it gave me did not roughly drop people on the seat through the acceleration effect like the Tesla Model 3, and then make people's scalps tingle, which may be related to the excellent chassis system, exquisite steering system and intelligent electronic control system of the PoleStar 2.
It's not that Polar star 2 is unhappy, but it's better than Tesla in terms of driving texture. After all, the 4.7-second acceleration is really there, and the 22-stage damping is adjustable? hlins DFV double-flow valve dampers, front four-piston Brembo brake calipers, and 20-inch forged aluminum alloy rims are also available (optional).
In fact, performance like the Polestar 2 is perfect for me, with the Polestar 2 having enough rapid acceleration to shake the co-pilot's head back and forth, showing in front of you an image that desperately needs to be thrown into your arms for comfort. However, the sudden sharp acceleration or sharp braking does not make people feel like they are dancing in the car, which is obviously outrageously fast, and you can firmly control the body. For the driver, this can greatly improve driving confidence.
Polestar 2 is a powerful machine, the brakes are also very good, the chassis even has a bit of advanced texture, and the steering is delicate enough... In short, the overall mechanical quality is very excellent electric vehicle. If you are an old driver who has experienced many types of cars, from holding the steering wheel of the PoleStar 2 to the first corner of the car, you can feel the strength of the research and development team behind this car, and the mechanical engineer's extreme pursuit of driving balance, which Tesla's products have not done.
In addition to driving, the polar star 2 can see the place is too unremarkable. The interior and seat fabric of the same model as the premium wetsuit are cheap in the eyes of users. Although these materials are environmentally friendly, they are also waterproof, and do not have any taste at all, and the comfort level who uses them knows.
The central control hangs an 11.15-inch central control screen with almost no beauty to speak of, not only the styling problem, but also the design of the UI interface, which also seems to have a sense of age. However, in practice, such a central control screen will not be too complicated, and the smoothness of the control will not be too bad.
In fact, the driver assistance system of the Polestar 2 is smart enough and safe, after all, it originated from Volvo. It's just not like Tesla or various new forces electric vehicles, disguised as a gimmick for autopilot through words.
Finally, despite the layout of 5 seats, the back row of Polar Star 2 can only sit 2 people normally, and one more will look awkward.
Therefore, the real highlight of Polestar 2 is the driving level (including handling, quality), and the reality is that not many users really care about driving. If you are not bad money, there is a parking space at home, you can install fast charging piles, just want to buy an electric car to represent, but there is a driving pursuit, according to the current polar star 2 offer, can be the only choice in high quality.
