The Polestar 4 Long range Single motor alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Polestar 4 Long range Single motor has a maximum power of 200 kW (272 hp / 268 bhp) and a total torque of 343 Nm (253 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 94.0 kWh, with a 6.0 kWh buffer (6.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 407 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 610 km (379 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 15.4 kWh/100 km (4.0 mi/kWh).
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 200 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 61 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 29 minutes at an average power of 137 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 4–55%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 130 kW over a session lasting about 22 minutes and 3 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 20.5 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 12 minutes, needing two charging stops from 1% to 61%, totaling 52 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 8 hours and 32 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
An optional 22 kW onboard charger reduces the full charge time to approximately 4 hours and 16 minutes.
Charge Port
The charge port is on the left rear side. This position suits charging bays where the vehicle reverses toward the charging point.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
