Polestar 2 2024
Carsguide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar had this to say at the time: The Polestar 2 Long range Single motor showcases a beautiful build and design. Not including the features from those optional packs just makes you focus on their individual price and devalues the relative affordability of the car compared to its competitors. The back seat isn't super passenger friendly when it comes to space, either. However, once you get used to its little quirks, it's a great car to get around in and the long driving range eases any range anxiety, which is often a cause for worry with EV ownership! My son loved the sunroof because it made him feel like he was in a spaceship, so it's a hit with the kids, too.

How to charge a Polestar 2 (how long, cost & how many kwh)?
There are three different ways to charge your Polestar two – two at home and one in public. The first involves a regular 240V wall socket, using a standard charging cable provided by Polestar. This will take roughly 34 hours at home for the 69kWh battery or 41 hours for the long-range 82kWh battery. Charging costs range between 21 to 36 cents per kWh on average but can vary depending on demand and which state you live in. Alternatively, owners can purchase an AC wall unit which on average costs between $800 to $2000, with additional charges for installation. An 11kW unit will fully charge a Polestar 2 with a 69kWh battery in seven hours, while the 82kWh unit will take eight hours. If the unit is hooked up to solar power, the cost can be free. Polestar owners can also access public DC fast-charging stations with the maximum output of 200kW. It will take 40 minutes to charge the 69kWh battery at this rate and 32 minutes on the 82kWh unit. Once again, charges depending on demand and where you’re charging, but as a general rule you should never pay more than $40 per charge.
