Winter and summer: the effect on cost

For the reference version (Long Range Single Motor · 2021), in an oceanic climate (western France) and mixed driving: 20.9 kWh/100 km in January, i.e. €3.72 per 100 km off-peak, against 18.5 kWh/100 km in July, i.e. €3.29. Charging therefore costs about 13 % more in January than in July.

Compared with other models

At 18.3 kWh/100 km (reference version), the Polestar 2 ranks 109 out of 230 models in the Watt Budget database, from most to least frugal. The median is 18.4 kWh/100 km.
