Overview

The Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2023-2024) is an all-electric rear-wheel drive liftback. It came out in 2023 replacing the older Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2022-2023). Polestar stopped making the Standard Range Single Motor in 2024 and replaced it with the Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2024-…). The car is not available on the US market.

The Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2023-2024) has a 69 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 279 mi on a single charge — ranked №261 out of 857 electric vehicles.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2023-2024) achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 6.1 seconds (placing it at №44 out of 117 ranked positions, among 857 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 127 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 200 kW (268 hp) and a torque of 361 lb-ft.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2023-2024) achieves a real-world range of 279 miles, placing it at №90 among 254 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2023-2024) in the USA comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 41 miles of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 135 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.

How big is it? What are the dimensions (length, width, height)?

The size and weight specifications for Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor (2023-2024) are as follows:

Length: 181.3 in
