Question 1

How much does a Polestar 2 (new) cost in the UK?

Accepted Answer

We use £42,995 as a new starting point in the catalog — what you will actually pay depends on mileage, spec, and whether you buy from a dealer, a broker, or a tired private seller on a rainy Tuesday. Partner links show live stock; our number is for comparison.

Question 2

What range should I expect from the Polestar 2 (new)?

Accepted Answer

We model ~318 miles for side-by-side running costs. Your real figure will be lower at 70 mph, lower still in winter, and higher if you mostly potter around town. Treat it as a benchmark, not a guarantee.

Question 3

What does the Polestar 2 (new) cost to charge?

Accepted Answer

On our off-peak home rate assumptions, about 1.8p per mile — roughly £214 a year at 12,000 miles. On a standard home tariff without scheduling, closer to 5.8p per mile (£700/year). Public rapid charging is a different story entirely.

Question 4

Should I compare the Polestar 2 (new) to my current car?

Accepted Answer

That is the whole point of the site. Enter your UK reg, annual mileage, and what you paid for your car — we will tell you whether switching looks worth it on running costs, not whether the Polestar 2 (new) is a good car in the abstract.

Question 5

Is the Polestar 2 (new) good for families?

Accepted Answer

We tag it family-friendly because people buy it with kids in mind — but we do not measure boot litres or ISOFIX height. Sit in the back, fold the seats, try the pram. Our calculator only answers whether the running costs work for your mileage.
