Range and charging
Range
With Polestar 2's upgraded battery, drivers can get more miles out of every single charge. The right driving and charging behavior can further increase the car’s real-life range.

Range factors
The real-world range of an EV is influenced by driving style, weather, and road conditions. A calmer driving style, pre-climatizing the cabin while charging, and looking after the tires are effective ways to optimize for extended range.
More on range factorsPublic charging
Polestar 2 works with DC charging up to 205 kW. The growing number of public charging stations means charging is not only quick, but convenient, too.

Save time by charging to 80%
On a long trip, it's actually faster to stop twice and recharge up to 80% than to stop once and charge to 100%. This is due to the fact that the final 20% capacity of a lithium-ion battery charges at a much slower rate.
Battery-minded route planning
Because the Polestar 2 comes with Google built-in¹, the in-car version of Google Maps¹ can communicate with the car's systems to check the battery status. It will calculate and suggest a route accordingly, including convenient charging options along the way.
Home charging
The Polestar 2 works with any available AC wallbox model and charges up to 11 kW for convenient and inexpensive recharging. Home is where the charge is, after all.

Charging without a private parking space
Plug into a nearby public charger, recharge at work, or share a charging station with your neighbors. There are numerous alternatives if home charging is not an option.
Extending the range
Polestar 2 has been engineered for optimal energy efficiency, allowing the driver to extract even more miles from the battery. These features help extend the car's real-life range.
Energy-saving heat pump
Waste heat doesn't have to be wasted. Using thermal energy from the electric motors, battery, and ambient air, the heat pump warms up the passenger compartment and helps get more miles out of a charge.
Regenerative braking
Recharge while slowing down. Instead of turning useful energy into useless heat, the regenerative braking system of Polestar 2 converts it back into power that can be used to extend the car's range.
Pre-entry climate control
Preheating or pre-cooling Polestar 2 while charging saves a significant amount of battery power compared to using climate control while driving. It extends the car's range and sets a comfortable passenger compartment temperature before the driver gets in.
In-car range assistant
Get range guidance in real-time. The in-car range assistant app monitors speed, driving style, and climate settings to present instant updates of the car's energy consumption on its home tile. It can also show the projected range on the driver display and activate ECO-climate, automatically adjusting the climate system to go the extra mile(s).
