Energy consumption is displayed on the dashboard and is re-calculated as you drive. It is different to the WLTP-rated consumption (which measures power from the mains).
This number is estimated by comparing the usable battery capacity against the WLTP range.
The maximum speed the EV can charge at home or a public AC charger.
An EV has a built-in charger that converts household AC electricity into DC current that goes into the battery.
This limits the maximum speed you can charge at home - no matter what extra equipment you install. Some public chargers (such as at motor camps and shopping malls) are also AC only.
Fast Charge ⚡
The maximum speed the EV can charge at a DC fast charger.
Speed is also limited by the capacity of the public charger. In NZ, fast chargers are typically 25 kW, 50 kW, 100 kW, 175 kW, and 300 kW.
Temperature (20°+ is ideal) and battery state-of-charge affect speed (an empty battery charges faster).
The Polestar 2 is a five-door fastback sedan produced by the Swedish automaker Volvo Cars.
An intense focus on sustainability means the Polestar 2 is an efficient vehicle with lower lifecycle emissions than many other EVs.
Specs
Polestar 2
2021-2023
The base Polestar liftback-sedan is a great competitor to the Tesla Model 3. With its Volvo heritage, the Polestar has already made its mark in NZ sales figures. Its minimalist interior points to the sustainability goal of being a completely carbon neutral brand.
*Note: The Polestar website lists the range as 470 km; here, we’ve listed the more conservative WLTP High range (consistent with other manufacturer specs).
