2022 Polestar 2

2022 Polestar 2 Single Motor review: A great value
This fully electric four-door offers style and tech for a relatively low price.

The electric Polestar 2 gets a new single-motor variant for 2022. Just like the dual-motor 2, this one looks great and is packed with tech. While it might not have the same performance punch, the ace up the Polestar 2's sleeve is excellent value.
The single-motor Polestar 2 has the same 78-kilowatt-hour battery pack as its dual-motor counterpart, sending 231 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque to the four-door's front wheels. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates a 270-mile range for the single-motor 2, which nearly matches the 272-mile range of the rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model 3. When it comes time to charge, the Polestar 2 can accept DC fast charging at speeds up to 150 kilowatts, meaning an 80% charge is possible in about 40 minutes. On my Level 2 home charger, I went from 38% to 90% in about 4 hours...
