EV Chronicles #65 - Polestar 3 Winter Efficiency
Almost two years ago, I wrote a blog about the Truth and Lies about EVs and Cold Weather ( https://marcepochet.wixsite.com/the-ev-chronicles/post/tesla-chronicles-46-truth-and-lies-about-evs-and-cold-weather ). Two years later, and sadly, not much has changed. In my opinion, that was one of my best, most details blogs about driving an EV in the winter, so I suggest reading it (again if you read it the first time) if you want to know more about all the factors that go into r

EV Chronicles #61 - Efficiency Impacts from a Thule Roof Box
Right after getting back from Florida, and while the Polestar 3 was in the shop for service on the AC charger and the HVAC vent controllers (that all went very well by the way), I decided to order the Thule Roof rails with the feet and fit kit for the Polestar 3. I currently have no way to mount my bike(s) on the Polestar and I have some old roof rail bike racks as well. I have been using a hitch mounted rear bike rack system for years, but the Polestar 3 as I ordered it, d
