Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor

Performance

The Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor has a maximum power of 220 kW (299 hp / 295 bhp) and a total torque of 490 Nm (362 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.2 seconds and reaches a top speed of 205 km/h (127 mph).

Battery, Range, and Charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 82.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 79.0 kWh, with a 3.0 kWh buffer (3.7%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 400 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 635 to 591 km (395-367 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.

The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 12.4 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.4 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.

For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 205 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 66 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 29 minutes with an average charging speed of 116 kW.

Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 1% to 50%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 118 kW, with each charging session taking about 20 minutes and 42 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 30 minutes, needing three charging stops from 1% to 59%, totaling 71 minutes of charging time.
