Fast charging at a public charger (10→80%)

Fast charging on the road (DC = the rapid charger you find at motorway stops, not home charging): indicative time from 10 to 80 percent, calculated from the specs — not measured by us. Actual time varies with charger, temperature and battery level at the start. The 10→80% window is the standard benchmark because the final stretch (80→100%) deliberately charges slower to protect the battery.
Charging situation10→80% (minutes)
At the car's own maximum charging rate (250 kW) ~ 29
At a 150 kW charger ~ 48
At a 50 kW charger ~ 145
How is this calculated? We assume around 70% of the battery sits in the 10→80% window and an average power around 62% of peak (the curve tapers towards the end). At a fixed charger the power is capped to that charger. An estimate, not a manufacturer figure.

Charging at home uses AC power and is slower: a home wallbox typically delivers 7.4 to 11 kW. That is separate from the fast-charge times shown above.

Frequently asked

What does the Polestar 3 cost roughly?

Indicative starting price € 79,995 (reference date 2026-05-18). Not an offer.

What is the WLTP range of the Polestar 3?

628 km WLTP (manufacturer figure). Owners typically report less in everyday driving, especially in cold weather. See the reviews below.

How much can the Polestar 3 tow?

2200 kg braked (with trailer brakes) — the figure that applies when your trailer (such as a caravan) has its own brakes. Manufacturer figure; the exact, binding limit for a specific car is on its registration document.

How long does fast-charging the Polestar 3 take (10→80%)?

Roughly 29 minutes on a 250 kW charger (10→80%, factory calculation, indicative). Actual time depends on battery temperature and the charging curve — the car's charging speed drops as the battery fills.

How big is the battery in the Polestar 3?

107 kWh usable capacity (manufacturer figure). Check the warranty terms of the specific car for capacity retention.

What does the Polestar 3 use in real-world driving?

The factory WLTP figure is 19.6 kWh/100 km. Owners typically report more in mixed use, with the usual winter penalty. See the owner experiences below.

How much boot space does the Polestar 3 have?

484 litres (manufacturer figure). See the spec sheet for the full dimensions.

In depth

The Long Range Dual Motor has a 107 kWh battery (usable, 111 gross), 489 hp system power and WLTP range 628 km (manufacturer figure). DC charging up to 250 kW. Braked towing weight 2,200 kg, boot 484 l. Software was mentioned at launch as a point to get used to, partly resolved with OTA updates (public owner reports).

About the Polestar 3 Long Range Dual Motor (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The Polestar 3 has been on the market since 2024 on the SPA2 platform of parent Geely, shared with the Volvo EX90. The Long Range Dual Motor version has two motors (front and rear) with system power 489 hp, a 107 kWh battery (usable) and WLTP range 628 km (manufacturer figure). DC charging peaks at 250 kW.

In practice

WLTP consumption is 19.6 kWh/100km (manufacturer figure). Over a full year owners report mixed around 23 kWh/100km (owner forums, n approx 12, not measured by us); in winter the real range falls below 628 km WLTP. Boot 484 l plus a 32 l frunk, braked towing weight 2,200 kg. The indicative list price rose from about 77,995 euro (reference date early 2024) to 79,995 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.

Points to note

Operation runs almost entirely via the 14.5-inch central screen; physical buttons for climate are absent. Software gave several bug reports at launch (driver assistance, charging behaviour) that have been partly resolved with OTA updates (recurring owner point). The kerb weight is around 2,500 kg, which is noticeable in chassis behaviour and tyre wear. The Polestar 3 is built in China and in South Carolina (US) depending on the market.
