Which EV charger suits the Polestar 2?
Every version of the Polestar 2 charges at home at a maximum of 11 kW. A charger with more power will not charge your car any faster. That makes an 11 kW charger the logical choice for every Polestar 2. With a 3-phase connection, meaning three live wires into your fuse box, you use the full 11 kW. Browse all 11 kW EV chargers in our range.
On a single-phase connection the car can charge at up to 7.4 kW, but only with a charger rated for 32 A on one phase. An 11 kW charger (3 x 16 A) gives 3.7 kW there.
A built-in MID meter is a certified kWh meter inside the charger. It records exactly how much electricity your car uses at home, separate from the rest of your household. That way you always know what charging really costs you. Our range of EV chargers with a MID meter includes an 11 kW option as well.
We always recommend having the connection made by a qualified installer. That is safer and it matters for your insurance. In the Netherlands, Flemish Belgium and Germany we can arrange the installation for you, in Germany through a free quote.

Frequently asked questions about the Polestar 2
How fast does the Polestar 2 charge at home?
Every Polestar 2 charges at home at up to 11 kW on a 3-phase connection. With an 11 kW charger, a full charge of the Standard Range takes about 7 hours.

Does my Polestar 2 charger need a MID meter?
A MID meter is not a requirement, but we do recommend it. It measures your home charging separately and accurately, so you know exactly how much electricity your car uses. That is useful for private drivers and for anyone who charges a company car at home.
What is the charging power of the Polestar 2?
All Polestar 2 versions have a maximum AC charging power of 11 kW and a Type 2 port. A charger with more power, such as 22 kW, will not charge your Polestar 2 any faster.
