EV chargers & portable home chargers for the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor / Dual Motor
Are you looking for the best charging solution for a Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor? You have come to the right place. The Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor requires a Mennekes Type 2 connector and has a maximum AC charging capacity of 11 kW. This means the car will never charge faster than 11 kW using an EV charger at home. The vehicle also has a usable battery capacity of 78 kWh.
You may prefer to use a portable EV charger instead of a permanently installed charger, or you may choose an EV charger with a lower charging capacity. That is why you will find all the important charging information about the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor on this page.
| Connector type | Charging capacity | Battery capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Type 2 | 11 kW | 78 kWh |
| Charging connection | Maximum connection | Charging power | Charging time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic socket (2.3 kW) | 230 V / 1 × 10A | 2.3 kW | 40 hours |
| Single-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230 V / 1 × 16A | 3.7 kW | 25 hours |
| Single-phase 25A (5.8 kW) | 230 V / 1 × 25A | 3.7 kW | 25 hours |
| Single-phase 32A (7.4 kW) | 230 V / 1 × 32A | 3.7 kW | 25 hours |
| Three-phase 16A (11 kW) | 400 V / 3 × 16A | 11 kW | 8 hours 30 minutes |
| Three-phase 25A (17 kW) | 400 V / 3 × 25A | 11 kW * | 8 hours 30 minutes |
| Three-phase 32A (22 kW) | 400 V / 3 × 32A | 11 kW * | 8 hours 30 minutes |
* = Charging power is limited by the vehicle
Charging cable for the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor
The Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor has a Mennekes connection, which means it requires a Type 2 charging cable. The car supports three-phase AC charging at a maximum of 11 kW. To charge at 11 kW, you need a three-phase 11 or 22 kW charging cable. A 22 kW charging cable is also fully compatible, although the car will still charge at a maximum of 11 kW.

EV charger for the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor
The fully electric Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor has a maximum AC charging capacity of 11 kW and a usable battery capacity of 78 kWh. We therefore recommend charging the car with a permanently installed EV charger. There are several points to consider. A charger with a higher maximum capacity will not charge the vehicle faster than the car’s maximum of 11 kW. However, a 22 kW charger may be useful if you intend to purchase an EV with a higher AC charging capacity in the future. A charger with a lower capacity is also possible, for example when the electrical installation is not suitable for higher-power charging. The EV charger will never provide more power than its own maximum capacity:
3.7 kW EV charger (single-phase 16A): the car charges at a maximum of 3.7 kW.
7.4 kW EV charger (single-phase 32A): the car charges at a maximum of 3.7 kW.
11 kW EV charger (three-phase 16A): the car charges at a maximum of 11 kW.
22 kW EV charger (three-phase 32A): the car charges at a maximum of 11 kW.
Electrical connection for the EV charger
Choosing the best EV charger for your Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor depends not only on the capabilities of the vehicle, but also largely on the electrical connection at your home or workplace. The most important factor is whether you have a single-phase or three-phase connection. With a three-phase connection of at least 3 × 16A, the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor can charge using three phases and therefore use its maximum AC charging capacity of 11 kW.
With a single-phase connection, you cannot achieve the maximum charging capacity of 11 kW. The Polestar 2 will then charge at a maximum of 3.7 kW, regardless of the maximum capacity of the EV charger, because its 11 kW onboard charger uses a maximum of 16A per phase.

Portable EV charger for the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor
With a portable EV charger, you can charge your hybrid or electric car through a standard domestic socket. This also applies to the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor. Domestic sockets in Europe generally provide approximately 230 volts. A portable EV charger is designed so it can be connected to this electrical supply.
For the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor, you need a Type 2 portable EV charger. Charging through a domestic socket is considerably slower than charging with a fixed EV charger, although it may be sufficient for plug-in hybrids or electric cars with a smaller battery. A portable EV charger generally charges at 2.3 or 3.7 kW using 10A or 16A.
Due to the high battery capacity of the Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor, we recommend using a portable home charger mainly as a backup or emergency solution. Always check whether the socket and electrical installation are suitable before charging continuously at 16A.
