Just about to return my Polestar 2 to LHR after 5 days. The first one I picked up had electrical faults within 10 miles so I had to return it. They mistakenly gave me a Citroen C3 as replacement but I was like .... Manager said no it’s a mistake here is a Polestar 2 with 10 miles on it.

no complains with the car other than the wonky infotainment but that’s not hertz issue. My friend and I figured out how to reboot it.

I did help some people yesterday with a rental Polestar 2 that we’re trying to charge it. They were having a total meltdown panic at a motorway services. They said hertz didn’t tell them anything, they didn’t even know it was an EV! I showed them where the cables were for mains charging if needed and setup the shell app and showed them the onboard charging station finder via Google maps. They picked it because it was the cheapest option. I also reminded them to check their contract if it had a 300 mile per day cap on it etc

there is a massive charging station at Heston West Services off the M4 just before LHR. Gridserve DCFC 14 Stalls and 12 Tesla Super chargers. There is also a 16 stall supercharger on Bath road which is open to non Tesla

Gridserve and Shell has been extremely reliable in the UK for my trip.
