The 2022 Polestar 2 range of configurations is currently priced from $34,970.
Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: This was a tough test. As we said at the beginning, a winner is perhaps less important than discovering the strengths and weaknesses of each of these new EVs. During our testing we decided that a range over 400km of each of the vehicles here is more than enough to avoid the dreaded range anxiety, even though the charge network is paper thin and the hardware leaves a little to be desired.

The 2022 Polestar 2 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Polestar 2 2022 prices range from $41,140 for the basic trim level Hatchback STD Range Single Motor 69KWH to $54,670 for the top of the range Hatchback Long Range Dual Motor 78KWH.
The Polestar 2's interior is at the premium end of the scale, but instead of leaning into plush leathers, it makes extensive use of recycled plastics and sustainably-sourced weaves. The switchgear is largely shared with its Volvo parent company, while limited storage is on offer thanks to a more driver-centric design.
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.
