DC charging time

Indicative DC charging time 10→80%, derived from battery capacity and charging power — not measured by us. Actual time depends on the charging curve, temperature and starting SoC.
Charging situation10→80% (min)
At model peak (205 kW) ~ 27
At a 150 kW charger ~ 37
At a 50 kW charger ~ 111
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

About the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Polestar 2 has been on the market since 2020 on Geely's CMA platform, shared with the Volvo XC40. The 2024 facelift was technically the bigger change: drive went from front to rear, the battery grew to 82 kWh (usable) and the motor became more powerful. WLTP range 655 km, system power 299 hp, DC charging peak 205 kW (manufacturer figures).

In practice

WLTP consumption is 14.8 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure). Across a full year, owners report mixed around 17.5 kWh/100km (owner forums, n approx 25, not measured by us); in winter the real range falls below the 655 km WLTP. Boot 405 l plus a 35 l frunk; braked towing weight 1,500 kg. The indicative list price rose from about 49,995 euro (peildatum early 2024) to 51,995 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.

Points to note

Operation runs largely via the central screen; physical buttons for climate are absent. The rear bench has limited headroom for tall passengers (recurring owner point). The boot is fastback-style, the rear window is part of the tailgate. The Polestar 2 is built in China; check import duty rules for your market.
