Nicola’s now-infamous rant about the Polestar 4 infotainment system returns for part two – complete with your brilliant reactions and a slightly more… calming reset guide. Public service, Electrifying style. Elsewhere, it’s been a busy week behind the wheel. There’s a twin test fresh from the barn, Vicky’s been driving the Tiggo, and we’ve even squeezed in a first go in the new Jaguar GT. In the news, EV sales are booming, and Octopus Energy is shaking things up by slashing on-street charging costs – in some cases making it cheaper than charging at home. Is this a turning point for EV drivers without driveways? We also dive into your comments and questions, including first-time EV buyers, real-world efficiency wins, and one listener’s frustrating experience with the Citroën e-C4 . Plus, we tackle everything from Renault feature updates to which EVs actually cope with Britain’s worst roads. And finally… are modern car interiors getting a bit dull? You’ve got thoughts – and we’re here for them. If you’re still with us, thanks for listening! Don’t forget to follow, review, and check us out on YouTube at Electrifying.com.
