Additionally, launch control optimizes acceleration from a standstill, maximizing the car's potential for a more dynamic driving experience.
How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?
Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2020-2023) achieves a real-world range of 229–279 miles, placing it at №306 among 693 electric vehicles. 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.
In 2022 Polestar 2 gains an optional heat pump. Polestar estimates that the heat pump can extend the car's range by up to 16 miles. This translates to a potential increase from a base range of 233 miles to a maximum of 249 miles.
