- 01.Factors affecting charging frequency
The more you drive, the more you have to charge. Driving speed, weather conditions, type of road, wheel size and climate control all influence your real-life range and therefore your charging requirements. In Canada, people drive an average of 42 km (26 miles) a day. With this kind of usage, you would only have to charge Polestar 2 about once a week. In practice, it's easiest to just top up the battery when you park your car at home or work, so once per week is only hypothetical. Use the Charging assistant to get an idea of how often you would need to charge your Polestar, based on your daily driving habits.
- 02.Drive farther on a single charge
The range you can travel in a fully charged Polestar 2 depends on which version of the car you own, your driving speed and style, and other external factors. On a long trip, it’s actually faster to stop twice and top up to 80% than to stop once and charge to 100%.
- 03.Charge in as little as 40 minutes
There are a number of ways you can charge the Polestar 2, from plugging it into the mains at home (relatively slow but more affordable) to using a public charging station (faster but less cost-effective). For example, a 40-minute charge at a fast charging station should be enough to charge the Polestar 2’s battery to 80%.
