The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2023) achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds (placing it at №29 out of 123 ranked positions, among 968 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 205 km/h.
Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 300 kW (402 hp) and a torque of 660 Nm.
In Europe, a performance upgrade is available for an additional 1,000 euros. This upgrade boosts the dual-motor powertrain for a total output of 350 kW (476 hp) and 680 Nm. The result is a noticeably quicker car: the 0-100 km/h sprint time drops to 4.4 seconds, while acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h takes just 2.2 seconds – a half-second improvement over the standard model. Furthermore, launch control allows for optimized acceleration from a standstill, unlocking the car's full potential for a more dynamic driving experience.
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.

The Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor (2023) in Europe 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 54 km 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 150 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.
