Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2020-2023) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 300 kW (402 hp) of power and 487 lb-ft of torque.
This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 4.5 seconds (№29 out of 119 ranked positions, among 979 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 127 mph.
In the US, a performance upgrade is available for an additional $1,195. This upgrade unlocks more power from the electric motors, boosting their combined output from 300 kW (408 hp) to 350 kW (476 hp) and torque from 487 lb-ft to 502 lb-ft. This translates to a quicker acceleration from 0 to 60 mph, shaving 0.3 seconds off for a new benchmark of 4.2 seconds. Additionally, launch control optimizes acceleration from a standstill, maximizing the car's potential for a more dynamic driving experience.
The estimated real-world range for Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2020-2023) is 249 miles, ranking it №128 out of 266 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:
- Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
- Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
- Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
- Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
- Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.
These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.
For trip planning assistance, utilize the EV Navigation interactive map.
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.
The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2020-2023) in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 33 miles of range added per hour.
For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2020-2023) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 150 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
To estimate charging time, rate, and cost, you can use EV Charging Calculator.
