As part of Volvo Cars’ aim to be a fully electric car maker by 2030, the company is the first European car maker to sign an agreement with Tesla, giving current and future electric Volvo car drivers access to Tesla’s vast Supercharger network across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Man this is awesome. I bought my Model 3 mostly because the CCS charging situation in the couple hundred miles around me is dreadful. I leased an ID.4 for a year and felt stuck because any trip I would plan would require me to stop at every single charger on the route, some of which were known to be super unreliable.
I adore my car, but I don’t know that I would have bought it if I had had any other options that could supercharge
I live in the NW and there’s plenty of charging options around here. I’ve never had a problem finding a charge driving my polestar around Oregon and Washington. That said this is probably a good move. The NACS connector is easily to handle and understand. I’m surprised that tesla is giving up their competitive advantage though.
I’m interested in purchasing a used EV. Would you recommend the polestar for Oregon/Washington?
