Normal weather, 100 km, 167 Wh/km consumption from vehicle data.
Each row uses that country's latest stored grid row, dated in the Grid data column; rows marked "Latest available" are older than 90 days and are not current.
Estimated energy cost at each country's average electricity market price · day-ahead market (Germany, France); residential retail average (United States); public charging tariffs are usually higher.
CO₂ = energy × grid average carbon intensity. A dash means that value is not available.

Estimated range from this vehicle's listed real-world consumption and battery capacity.
Assumptions behind these numbers
Model assumptionUsable battery: 100% of the listed 82.0 kWh (the listed capacity may be gross or net; no correction is applied).
Model assumptionSpeed: consumption starts from this vehicle's listed real-world efficiency of 167 Wh/km, times a speed factor of 1.00 (1.00 = no speed adjustment).
Vehicle dataWeather: Hot (25 °C and above) uses this vehicle's own factor 0.94, so consumption is 167 x 1.00 / 0.94 = 178 Wh/km.
Vehicle dataWeather: Normal (10-25 °C) uses this vehicle's own factor 1.00, so consumption is 167 x 1.00 / 1.00 = 167 Wh/km.
Vehicle dataWeather: Cold (below 10 °C) uses this vehicle's own factor 0.74, so consumption is 167 x 1.00 / 0.74 = 226 Wh/km.
MethodRange, energy and cost all use the same consumption figure. Energy is measured at the battery; charging losses are not included.
Where these specs come from
UnverifiedWLTP range 635 km: unverified. Kept from earlier site data (635 km). Polestar publishes 654 and 659 km for its current variants.
Battery basisThe source does not say whether the listed 82.0 kWh is gross or usable. The trip engine uses it as usable energy.
EstimateReal-world range 490 km is a site estimate, not a manufacturer figure.
DerivedDerived: listed battery capacity x 1000 / real-world range estimate = about 167 Wh/km. The range is a site estimate, so this is not a measured consumption figure.
In cold weather (below 10 °C), the estimated range of this vehicle is
363 km (226 mi)
(-26% vs normal conditions).
Among the routes in our database, these are the longest ones where the estimate needs more charging stops in cold weather than in normal weather, so they need careful planning in winter:
The Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor delivers a real-world range of 490 kilometers, a figure derived from the WLTP rating of 635 kilometers and an efficiency of 167 watt-hours per kilometer. In cold weather, the range multiplier of 0.74 reduces this to 362 kilometers, meaning a driver can expect roughly 128 fewer kilometers of travel in winter conditions. The 82.0 kilowatt-hour battery supports a maximum DC charging speed of 205 kilowatts, which allows for rapid top-ups on road trips, though the practical benefit depends on charger availability and battery state of charge. At that rate, adding significant range can take under 30 minutes from a low charge, but the 0.94 hot-weather multiplier yields 460 kilometers, showing less degradation in summer. For long journeys, the high charging speed mitigates the cold-weather loss, as drivers can stop briefly to regain substantial range, though planning around colder temperatures remains necessary to avoid range anxiety. The CCS and Type2 plugs ensure broad compatibility with public infrastructure.
