The Polestar 2 Long range Single motor is now certified for up to 654 km WLTP, and maximum DC charging speed is now up to 205 kW for versions with the new 82 kWh battery.

Polestar also says new motors are more efficient, and a change to rear-wheel drive for single-motor versions and a rear-bias for the dual motor version also means Polestar 2 is ‘even more fun to drive, with power delivery benefitting from weight shifting over the driven wheels’.
