Polestar 1 data analysis
How Polestar 1 EPA electric range varies
Across 2 configurations recorded for the 2020 through 2021 Polestar 1, EPA electric range runs from 470 miles to 470 miles. The strongest figure belongs to the 2020 Polestar 1 at 470 miles, and the weakest to the 2021 car (Auto (S8), 4 cyl, 2.0 L) at 470 miles — a spread of 0%. The narrow spread means any year of the Polestar 1 in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2021
Average EPA electric range for the 2021 Polestar 1 is 470 miles, against 470 miles for the 2020 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.
How to read this Polestar 1 data
This page lists every 2020 through 2021 Polestar 1 record we hold for this measurement — 2 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Polestar 1 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Polestar 1 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
Frequently Asked Questions About 1 EV Range
How far can the Polestar 1 go on a charge?
The Polestar 1 is EPA-rated for up to 470 miles of electric range (2021 model year). Real-world range drops in cold weather, at highway speeds, and with heavy climate control use — plan for roughly 70–80% of the rated figure in winter.
How long does the Polestar 1 take to charge?
On a 240-volt Level 2 charger the Polestar 1 takes about 9 hours for a full charge. DC fast charging, where supported, is far quicker but is not part of the EPA data set.
