Polestar 4 owner Phil Gee Kee came to our Coffee, Cake, and EVs morning at the Bracken Ridge Tavern recently, and showed us all his pride and joy. Majella and I had only had a short time to look at one, and, unfortunately, were unable to take it for a test drive. So we were keen to learn more about the car from someone with first-hand knowledge. Phil generously shared his experience. Here it is in his own words.

“For as long as I can remember I have been a ‘car guy.’ I love the sound of the V8 muscle cars. I owned several Holden V8s in my youth, but in more recent times I have been a fan of fast touring estate wagons, having also previously owned a Peugeot 508 GT Touring and a Golf R Wolfsburg Estate.

“The decision to maybe switch to an EV was one that took a lot of deliberation and research, and as my wife often says, ‘I hate it when you decide to change your cars because the research starts a year out and that’s all I hear about until you decide.’
