About the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor

The Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor (MY26) showcases the Swedish brand’s minimalist approach to electric mobility, combining striking design, intelligent technology, and impressive efficiency in a sleek all-electric fastback. Refined for everyday driving yet capable of effortless long-distance journeys, it delivers a balanced blend of performance, comfort, and practicality.

Power comes from a rear-mounted electric motor producing 220 kW and 490 Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels for a more engaging and responsive driving experience. Smooth, instant acceleration enables the Polestar 2 to sprint from 0-62 mph in 6.2 seconds, while a top speed of approximately 127 mph provides confident performance on faster roads.

A 79 kWh usable battery pack sits at the heart of the vehicle, offering a strong balance between range and efficiency. EV Database estimates a practical real-world driving range of around 295 miles, making it well suited to both daily commuting and extended motorway travel. Official WLTP figures may vary depending on market specification, wheel design, optional equipment, and driving conditions.

When it’s time to recharge, the Polestar 2 supports both Type 2 AC charging and rapid CCS DC charging at up to 207 kW. Under ideal conditions, a typical rapid-charging stop can take approximately 32 minutes, helping drivers quickly add substantial range and continue their journey with minimal interruption.
