Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor charging time by charger power
How long the Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor takes to charge at different charger power levels, capped by its own onboard limits.
| Charger | Power | Charge | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard outlet | 2.2 kW | 0% → 100% | 42 hours 44 minutes |
| Home wallbox | 7 kW | 0% → 100% | 13 hours 26 minutes |
| Public AC | 22 kW | 0% → 100% | 4 hours 16 minutes |
| DC fast | 200 kW | 10% → 80% | 31 minutes |
AC rows assume constant charging power and a 0% to 100% charge. Real times vary with the onboard charger, temperature, and the charger you use.
The DC fast row (10% to 80%) is anchored to a measured charging time for this model, so it reflects the real charging curve. Times still vary with temperature and conditions.
Charging speed
Based on measured data, the Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor charges 10% → 80% on DC fast charging in about 31 minutes, peaking at around 200 kW. ev-DB car/1841 battery+range match (AU spec).
The Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor is estimated to charge from 20% to 80% on public DC fast charging in about 27 minutes (ultra-fast DC).

Battery care
This car uses an NMC battery. For daily use, charging to about 80% and topping up to 100% only before long trips helps it last longer; heat is the main thing that ages it.
Savings vs a petrol car
This charge adds about 316 km of range for $33.84. Driving the same distance on petrol would cost:
| Engine size | Petrol cost | You save |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 1000 cc | $33.91 | $0.07 |
| 1000–1500 cc | $40.08 | $6.24 |
| 1500–2000 cc | $49.33 | $15.49 |
| 2000–2500 cc | $58.58 | $24.74 |
| > 2500 cc | $70.91 | $37.07 |
Estimated from typical combined fuel use by engine size and Regular unleaded (ULP 91) at $1.95/L. Charging at home saves the most; actual figures vary with driving and conditions.
