How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?
Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2023) achieves a real-world range of 406 km, placing it at №165 among 356 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.
What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?
The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2023) in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port.
