It did not. Polestar own owner manuals settle it: the pre facelift three phase table reads 6 amps 4 kW, 10 amps 6.8 kW, 16 amps 11 kW maximum, and the post facelift table reads 6 amps 4 kW, 10 amps 7 kW, 16 amps 11 kW maximum. Same ceiling, same 48 amp single phase row, same hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the facelift genuinely changed was the battery, from 78 to 82 kWh on the Long Range, the DC peak from 155 to 205 kW, and the drive layout of the single motor car from front wheel to rear wheel drive. The charger was left alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e7.2 or 7.4, and why you see both\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no version of this car that charges faster at a house than another. The 11 kW rating is a three phase one; a British supply offers a single phase and 32 amps of it, so the answer is 7.4 kW across the range. Polestar's manual writes it as 7.2 kW, which is the same thing at a slightly more conservative voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBatteries and range across the versions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Standard Range started at 69 kWh gross and grew to 70 for the 2025 model year, with 66 to 67 usable. The Long Range was 78 kWh gross and 75 usable before the facelift and 82 gross with 79 usable after it. WLTP range runs from 297 miles on an early Standard Range to 409 on the current Long Range single motor, with the Performance Pack car quoted at 352.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRapid charging moved a long way: 135 to 150 kW on the early cars against up to 205 kW after the facelift, and 180 kW on the newest Standard Range. None of that touches the number on your driveway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 66.0 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 79.0 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 32A at 7.4 kW, a UK home charge point\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.4 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 26 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to 3 Pin from a socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 hours 45 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose times come from dividing the pack by the delivered power and adding 13 per cent for losses, then rounding to the quarter hour.

No Polestar 2 manual contains a 32 amp three phase row. There is nothing to specify and nothing to miss out on, which at least makes the buying decision simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for a Polestar 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe flap is on the nearside rear quarter, operated by hand, in the position a fuel filler would occupy. A UK owner puts it plainly: charging is by CCS under the manually operated petrol flap on the near side rear. The inlet is at the nearside rear, in the conventional filler position. Being on the kerb side is a small everyday advantage; being at the back means the length you need depends on whether you nose in or reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe car is 4.6 metres. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/10m-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eTen metres\u003c\/a\u003e covers most driveways without thought; five metres is right if you reverse in and the charge point sits toward the back of the bay.
