Range and charging


Charging an electric car is generally cheaper than filling up with gas, depending on the price at the time. There are plenty of options to save money and reduce range anxiety. The information on this page will give you an indication of how often you would need to charge your Polestar.

Long range Single motor

270 miles

Long range Dual motor

260 miles

*This is an electric vehicle. Since electricity is not measured in gallons, a conversion factor is used to translate the fuel economy into miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent (MPGe). EPA-estimated 94 city/ 84 highway/ 89 combined MPGe. Use for comparison purposes only. Your MPGe will vary for many reasons, including but not limited to, driving conditions, how and where you drive, how you maintain your vehicle, battery-package/condition, and other factors. See www.fueleconomy.gov  EPA range for Long Range Dual Motor variant is estimated at 260 miles pending confirmation from the EPA.  EPA estimate for Long Range Single Motor is 270 miles.

Charging an electric car is significantly cheaper than refueling a gasoline car. In the US, you can get a full charge for an average of $9 (based on $0.15/kWh) if you use a power supply at home or work. This average depends on multiple factors, such as electricity price, type of charging points and use case.  Plugging into a fast DC charger at a highway charging station is more expensive, but most EV drivers will only do so 6% of the time.

    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. On average,  American drivers commute between 25 and 50 miles a day. With this kind of usage, you would only have to charge your Polestar 2 about once a week. In practice, it's easiest to just recharge 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.

    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%.

    Charge in as little as 40 minutes

    There are a number of ways you can charge the Polestar 2, from plugging it into the household electricity 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%.
