Charging in the car's centre display
From the centre display it is possible to set state of charge (SoC), unlock the charging cable and set amperage.
Charging status in the car's driver display
Charging status is indicated in the driver display.
Opening and closing the charging input socket hatch
The flap for the high voltage battery's charging input socket is opened manually.
Charging status in the car's charging input socket
The charging input socket shows the charging status using an LED lamp.
Charging cable
The charging cable is used to charge the car's high voltage battery.
Ground fault breaker in charging cable
The control unit for the charging cable charging cable has a built-in ground fault breaker that protects the car and the user from electric shocks caused by system faults.
Charging status in the charging cable's control unit
The indicator on the charging cable's control unit shows the status of ongoing charging.
Temperature monitoring of the charging cable
For the car's high voltage battery to be charged safely every time, the control unit for the charging cable and the plug have built-in monitoring devices for the temperature.
Charging the high voltage battery
The car is equipped with a rechargeable high voltage battery of lithium-ion type.
Starting the charging of the high voltage battery
When charging with alternating current, only use the charging cable supplied with the car or a replacement cable recommended by Polestar. The car's high voltage battery is charged with a charging cable between the car and a 230 Vsocket (alternating current) or a charging station (mode 3).
Stop high voltage battery charging
Stop charging using the button next to the charging input socket or via the button in the centre display. Disconnect the charging cable from the car's charging input socket, and then from the 230 V socket (alternating current).
Symbols and messages relating to electric operation in driver display
If a fault should occur with the car's electric drive, a symbol and a message are shown in the driver display. Here are some examples.
Charging power
Charging power is used for charging the high voltage battery 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.
