Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor charging time by charger power
How long the Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 30 hours 27 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 9 hours 34 minutes |
| Public AC | 11 kW | 0% → 100% | 6 hours 5 minutes |
| DC fast | 180 kW | 10% → 80% | 30 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 30 minutes, peaking at around 180 kW. ev-DB car/3150 (MY26 SR SM, 67 kWh NMC, 180 kW); 30 min 10-80.
The Polestar 2 Standard Range Single Motor is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 26 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 283 km of range for $24.12. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $30.30 | $6.18 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $35.81 | $11.69 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $44.08 | $19.96 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $52.34 | $28.22 |
| > 2500 cc | $63.36 | $39.24 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and Regular unleaded (ULP 91) at $1.95/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
