Polestar Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor FAQs

What makes the Long Range Dual Motor different from the Long Range Single Motor?

The Dual Motor adds a second motor on the front axle for AWD, raises peak power significantly, and unlocks a 1,500kg towing rating. The trade-off is lower WLTP range — 321 miles versus 379 — and a higher list price.

Does the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor support vehicle-to-load charging?

No. Like all Polestar 2 variants, the Dual Motor has no bidirectional capability. There is no V2L, V2H, or V2G function. For V2L output at a comparable price, the Kia EV6 Long Range AWD is worth considering.

Can the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor tow a caravan?

Yes. The Dual Motor is rated for 1,500kg braked towing — enough for most touring caravans and smaller boat trailers. The Standard Range and Long Range Single Motor are not rated for towing.

How does the Dual Motor compare to the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD?

Both offer AWD and similar DC charging speeds. The Model Y has a larger boot and Supercharger network access. The Polestar 2 offers Google Automotive OS natively and a more distinctive interior design.
