Charging times
AC times are worked out from this version's figures. Rapid-charging times are estimates, shown as a band.
| Charger | Time | Miles added per hour |
|---|---|---|
| 3-pin plug2.3 kW (10 A) | 28 h 31 min Derived 56.4 kWh to add (20→80% of 94 kWh) ÷ (2.3 kW × 0.86 charging efficiency for a 3-pin socket) = 28.51 h. Sources

Real-world range
Official range (WLTP): 385 miles Official Source What the document says Coupe spec page, Powertrain (column order Rear motor, Dual motor)Polestar UK, Polestar 4 Coupé specifications page: WLTP combined range, 385 miles
Real-world range, 100% to 0%
270 to 400 miles Estimated Official range 385 miles × 0.705–1.044 (the 10th to 90th percentile of measured ÷ official range in 65 published tests, Cool (about 6 to 14 °C)). Median 355 miles. About one test in five fell outside the band. Sources
Typical: about 355 miles. Cool (about 6 to 14 °C), mixed driving (town and A-roads, up to about 56 mph). In the 65 published tests in this temperature band (of 201 range tests we use), measured range was usually 71% to 104% of the official figure. Heater use, hills, wind and a loaded car aren't included. How we worked it out.
We don't give a figure for hot weather (28 °C and over) or for speeds above 75 mph: there isn't enough test data.
Running costs
Cost per mile
10.4p a mile Estimated Home: 26.32p/kWh ÷ 0.91 charging efficiency ÷ 3.27 miles per kWh = 8.8p a mile. Rapid: 79.0p/kWh ÷ 3.27 = 24.2p a mile. Blended 90% home, 10% rapid. Sources
A year, 9,400 miles
£975 a year Estimated 10.4p a mile × 9,400 miles. Home: 26.32p/kWh ÷ 0.91 charging efficiency ÷ 3.27 miles per kWh = 8.8p a mile. Rapid: 79.0p/kWh ÷ 3.27 = 24.2p a mile. Blended 90% home, 10% rapid. Sources
Same miles in a 45 mpg petrol car
£1,665 a year (17.7p a mile) Derived 175.3p per litre × 4.546 litres per gallon ÷ 45 mpg = 17.7p a mile; × 9,400 miles. Source
This car costs about £689 a year less than the petrol car on these inputs. Petrol at 175.3p a litre, the UK average for the week of 12 October 2026.
Towing
Check a caravan or trailer against this version's published towing figures, and see how far you could go. The limits are the maker's figures, not a recommendation.
Towing range, 100% to 10%
125 to 180 miles Estimated Solo real-world range 327 miles (the official 385 miles × 0.85, our estimate) less the range loss seen in 25 published real-world towing tests (mostly caravans): 39.3% to 57.3% (10th to 90th percentile). Sources
That's the usable range from 100% down to 10% (140 to 200 miles to empty). Based on 25 published real-world tests: how we worked it out. Enter your own solo miles per kWh to base it on your driving.
Legal check
The limits below are the maker's published figures for this version. They are not a recommendation: your car's plate and handbook decide what you may tow.
- Within the braked towing limit of 1,500 kg (150 kg to spare).
- Check the VIN plate (usually on a door pillar) or your owner's handbook for the unbraked limit.
- Nose load limit: 100 kg. Check the trailer's actual nose load at the hitch with a nose-weight gauge: it must not exceed this.
- Check the VIN plate (usually on a door pillar) or your owner's handbook for the gross train weight. The check against it can't be worked out without it.
Weight guideline
Licence
If you passed your car test on or after 1 January 1997, you can drive an electric car with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) of up to 4,250 kg and tow a trailer with a MAM of up to 3,500 kg, as long as the car and trailer together are no more than 7,000 kg. If you passed before 1997, you can usually drive a car and trailer up to 8,250 kg MAM combined. (GOV.UK, Driving licence categories, checked 13 October 2026)

Polestar 4 questions
What is the Polestar 4 towing capacity?
The maker's UK towing limit is 1,500 kg braked for every version we have the maker's figure for. The Coupe Rear motor (Long range Single motor) is 1,500 kg. The VIN plate (usually on a door pillar) or your owner's handbook has the figure for your exact car. See the towing tab.
How long does a Polestar 4 take to charge on a 3-pin plug?
About 28 h 31 min from 20% to 80% on a 2.3 kW 3-pin cable for the Coupe Rear motor (Long range Single motor), against about 8 h 51 min on a 7 kW home charger. See the charging times tab.
What is the Polestar 4 charging speed?
The Coupe Rear motor (Long range Single motor) takes up to 200 kW on a rapid (DC) charger and 11 kW on AC. We estimate 29 min to 36 min for 10% to 80% on a 150 kW charger: an estimate, so it's a band. See the charging times tab.
What is the Polestar 4 towing range with a caravan?
With a 1,350 kg caravan, expect about 125 to 180 miles from 100% down to 10% in the Coupe Rear motor (Long range Single motor). That's based on 25 published real-world towing tests, not a maker's figure. See the towing tab.
What is the Polestar 4 real-world range in winter?
About 270 to 340 miles from 100% to 0% in cold weather (around 0 °C), against the official 385 miles for the Coupe Rear motor (Long range Single motor). That's based on published real-world range tests. See the real-world range tab.
How much does a Polestar 4 cost to run?
About 10.4p a mile, or £975 for 9,400 miles a year, charging at home at 26.32p per kWh (the Ofgem price cap) and 10% on rapid chargers. A 45 mpg petrol car would cost about £1,665. See the running costs tab.
