FROM
$45,870

The 2023 Polestar 2 range of configurations is currently priced from $45,870.

Our most recent review of the 2023 Polestar 2 resulted in a score of 7.5 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: So do I have to eat my words? Is the Polestar 2 not as good as I originally thought, especially given how much the EV industry has evolved in the last few years?No way. I love this car, and was very sad to see it go. Yep, I’d part with my own money for one of these. It’s suited well to a keen driver, offers plenty of range, and comes with such neat Scando design. I also agree with its sustainable messaging.

Polestar 2 2023 FAQs

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.
