Charging Polestar EVs
Investing in an electric vehicle is a big investment, but it is one for the future. When you decide to go for a Polestar EV, just like any other brand of car, you’ll want to get the most out of its battery life. You can do this by being proficient at charging your Polestar EV.
Choosing to invest in premium charging equipment for your Polestar is choosing to get more out of its battery life. Sub-par charging cables or chargers may save you money in the short term, but they won’t be as efficient at charging as more high-quality cables and chargers.

Polestar EV Models
Polestar currently has one electric vehicle model on the market, the Polestar 2, with a 78 kWh battery.
This battery size is on the larger side for battery electric vehicles, and due to this, the battery size will impact how fast the Polestar 2 will charge.
Polestar EV Cables
Investing in the right EV cable for your Polestar is vital to efficient charging times. Everything about the cable you choose will impact how fast a charge will take, even the length of the cable and the quality of the materials it is constructed with.
Here at Smartly, we have a range of options that are compatible with Polestar EVs, and all our cables are manufactured right here in the UK:
Polestar EV Chargers
Getting your own charger setup at home is highly recommended when you decide to invest in an electric car. While you can absolutely exclusively charge at public charging points, this will be more expensive in the long run due to charging fees at these stations.
We’d recommend getting a home charger installation and going for a 7.4 kW charger – they are a good balance between quality and affordability.
We stock a selection of 7.4 kW chargers, as well as other charger types such as 11 kW and 22 kW for commercial purposes. Take a look at a fraction of our choices:

If none of these chargers is appropriate for your own home setup, then you can see all the chargers we offer by clicking here.
The Polestar 2 will reach a full charge in:
34 hours using a 3-pin emergency plug.
21 hours using a 3.6 kW charger.
11 hours using a 7 kW charger.
7 hours using a 22 kW charger.
If using rapid charging facilities, the Polestar 2 can accomplish 20-80% charge in:
60 minutes using a 50 kW charger.
20 minutes using a 150 kW charger.
The Polestar 2 costs around 16 p/kWh to charge at home, which translates to around 4.4p cost per mile.
For comparison, using a public charger costs 30p/kWh to charge to 80%, which translates to around 6.8p cost per mile.
If your Polestar 2 is fully charged and you operate it at maximum efficiency, you can get around 245 miles out of a single battery charge.
Yes, you can, provided you are using a NEMA 14-50 socket. Charging your Polestar 2 at a Tesla supercharger or any other kind of DC charging station will allow it to accept up to 150 kW of power.
