What is the range of the Polestar 2?
2 Answers
The Polestar 2 has a range of 450 kilometers. The Polestar 2 is a compact sedan under the Polestar brand, and it is a dual-motor all-wheel-drive vehicle with motors on both the front and rear axles. The motor on the front axle of the Polestar 2 has a maximum torque of 330 Nm and a maximum power of 150 kW, while the rear axle motor also has a maximum torque of 330 Nm and a maximum power of 150 kW. The Polestar 2 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The vehicle is equipped with a ternary lithium battery across all models, which is commonly used in most pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
When I first bought the Polestar 2, I was also curious about its range. After driving it for a while, I found that the official claim is around 460 kilometers, but in city driving, I can actually get a little over 400 kilometers on average. A full charge is enough for my commute for a week, so no range anxiety here. On long-distance highways at 120 km/h, the range drops to about 350 kilometers due to higher wind resistance. Using air conditioning in summer doesn’t affect the range much, but in winter, low temperatures can reduce it by 20%, especially below freezing—preheating the battery helps restore performance. For charging, it supports fast charging to 80% in half an hour, and home charging overnight for 8 hours fills it up, which is very convenient. I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and air conditioning settings to optimize range. Overall, it’s reliable and well-suited for daily commuting.
