How we calculate
The formula, in the open
Charging time is energy needed divided by effective power. We model the typical, warm, healthy case so the number is honest, not optimistic. Read the full methodology for the curve assumptions and sources.
Common Questions
Polestar 4 — frequently asked
How long does it take to charge a Polestar 4 Long Range?
From 10% to 80% in approximately 31 minutes on a 150 kW DC fast charger. From empty to full in around 14h 07m on a 7.4 kW home wallbox. Times above are for a warm, healthy battery — cold packs and busy charger sites can extend them by 10–20%.
What is the Polestar 4’s maximum charging speed?
The Polestar 4 Long Range accepts up to 200 kW on a DC fast charger and up to 22 kW on AC. Power tapers above 80% state of charge to protect the battery cells.
Can the Polestar 4 use a 350 kW ultra-rapid charger?
It will work but the car only draws up to 200 kW. A 200 kW or 150 kW charger gives the same speed at lower cost.
How long to charge a Polestar 4 at home?
On a typical 7.4 kW home wallbox the Polestar 4 fills from empty in around 14h 07m. Plug in overnight and the charge time stops mattering.
Is it bad to charge the Polestar 4 to 100%?
For day-to-day driving most manufacturers recommend an 80% ceiling on lithium-ion (NCM/NCA) chemistries, and 100% on LFP. Charge to 100% before a long trip and use the full range that day.
