Estimate how much it costs to charge a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor with its 94.0 kWh battery using your current charge level, target charge, and electricity price.
How much does it cost to charge a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor?
Charging a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor from 20% to 80% costs approximately £16.92 at an illustrative electricity price of £0.30/kWh (GBP). Using the calculator’s 94 kWh usable-capacity assumption, this adds 56.4 kWh of battery energy. Charging losses and additional station or session fees are excluded.

Battery version and sources
Polestar lists a 100 kWh battery pack. This calculator uses the 94 kWh usable capacity reported by EV Database for the Long Range Dual Motor (MY24–26); the cited manufacturer specification does not confirm that usable figure. Pack capacity and energy available between 0% and 100% are different measures. Check your vehicle documentation when comparing versions.

Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor: home and public charging examples
The examples below use this page’s 94 kWh usable-capacity assumption. £0.30/kWh and £0.60/kWh are hypothetical GBP prices for comparing a home tariff with a public charger. They are not current UK averages or quotes from a charging network. Energy and costs exclude charging losses and additional fees.
| Session | Battery energy | Home example £0.30/kWh | Public example £0.60/kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily top-up (20% to 80%) | 56.4 kWh | £16.92 | £33.84 |
| Rapid-charge stop (10% to 80%) | 65.8 kWh | £19.74 | £39.48 |
| Full battery (0% to 100%) | 94.0 kWh | £28.20 | £56.40 |
Why can the billed energy be higher?
The calculator and table count energy added to the battery. If, purely as an example, 10% of the energy measured by the charger is lost, only 90% reaches the battery. A 10% to 80% session then needs 65.8 ÷ 0.90 = 73.1 kWh from the charger, costing £43.87 at £0.60/kWh before any additional fees. This 10% loss is an assumption, not a measured Polestar 4 efficiency figure. Use your charger’s billed kWh and actual tariff to check a real session.
How long does a 10% to 80% rapid charge take?
The Polestar 4 UK 2025 manual gives approximately 30 minutes at a 200 kW DC station, with battery temperature around 25–30°C. That is a time estimate for a 10% to 80% session, not a constant 200 kW charging rate. Temperature, preconditioning, charging equipment and battery condition affect the result. Charging speed affects time; the billed kWh, tariff and any extra fees determine the price.
Compare with the Long Range Single Motor
Our Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor calculator uses 94 kWh. At the same tariff and charge percentages, the cost follows the battery energy added, rather than the number of motors. This comparison does not estimate cost per mile, which also depends on driving consumption. You can also compare other Polestar models.

Real-world charging losses for Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor
A Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor 20% to 80% session stores about 56.4 kWh in the battery. At the wall, the real energy draw can be higher because AC/DC conversion, battery conditioning, and cable losses all add overhead.
If 8% to 15% of the metered energy is lost, the same session would draw about 61.3 to 66.4 kWh. These percentages are illustrative assumptions, not measured efficiency for this model. Metered energy is battery energy divided by the fraction that reaches the battery. Use your charger’s billed kWh and actual tariff for a real session.

20% to 80% wall-energy estimate
61.3 to 66.4 kWh
Based on 56.4 kWh stored in the battery divided by 0.92 to 0.85, assuming 8% to 15% of metered energy is lost.
How Charge Cost estimates Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor charging costs
1. Battery data
This page starts with the 94.0 kWh battery capacity listed for Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor, so the baseline calculation is model-specific rather than generic.
2. Charge window
Your current charge and target charge determine how much battery energy is added. A smaller top-up costs less because fewer kWh need to be delivered.
3. Electricity price
The tool multiplies the required kWh by your price per kWh. If you pay more for public charging, taxes, or time-of-use tariffs, your real bill can be higher.
Frequently asked questions about charging a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor
How much does it cost to charge a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor?
Charge Cost helps estimate the charging cost of a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor using its 94.0 kWh battery capacity, your current state of charge, target charge level, and electricity price. A full 0% to 100% battery estimate uses about 94.0 kWh before charging losses, so the cost changes directly with your electricity tariff.
What does a 20% to 80% charge add to a Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor?
Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor needs about 56.4 kWh to move from 20% to 80% battery. At example electricity prices of £0.15, £0.25, £0.40 in GBP per kWh, that works out to roughly £8.46, £14.10, £22.56 in GBP before charging losses.
Does the Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor charging cost estimate include charging losses?
The base estimate for Polestar 4 Long Range Dual Motor focuses on battery energy and electricity price. Real-world wall energy can be higher, so a 20% to 80% session may require about 61.3 to 66.4 kWh if 8% to 15% of metered energy is lost. This is an illustrative assumption, not measured efficiency for this model.
