Start charging the hybrid batteries
When charging with alternating current, only use the charging cable supplied with the car or a replacement cable recommended by Polestar. The car's batteries are charged with a charging cable between the car and a 230 V socket (alternating current) or charging station (mode 3).

Finish charging by unlocking the car, unplugging the charging cable from the car's charging input socket and then from the 230 V socket (alternating current).
Charging power
Charging power is used for charging the hybrid batteries as well as preconditioning of the car. Charging takes place with a charging cable connected to the car's charging input socket and a 230 V socket (alternating current) or via a charging station.
