    I have charged twice recently at EA on longer road trips. The outside temperature read 85 degrees F at the start of my charging session. At the finish the outside temperature read 99 degrees. As I drove a few miles, it returned to the 85 degree reading. Is the charging process causing the...

    2021 PS 2. Using the charging cord provided at purchase. Charging at home with 240v, 50a custom installed charger. No problems until 2 months ago. Charger cylinder gets very hot and shuts down about 30 minutes after starting. Strong smell of burning plastic. Put it on a 120v drip charge and it...

    1,200 miles into Polestar ownership and - when about to plug in - had a plastic cover drop out of the DC pins. Looked inside and this is what it looks like. The right pin has shed its plastic cover, and looks a little melted / frazzled / expanded. Has this happened to anyone else? Is It safe...

    Yep, whenever I plug in a Combo charger, the trunk on my '22 PS2 opens. It does not happen with L2 or trickle charger. Any ideas what's happening here... am I being sent a message? Is this happening to you?

    I tried to plug in at a public garage after work today and somehow the plug didn’t fit into the charge port. Then I tried another charger and the same thing happened. I pulled into a well-lit public garage to take a look and found one of the pins on the J1772 port is not point straight out… if...

    I’m planning a return trip from Vancouver to San Francisco next week and would like to know what the best strategies are for P2 charging. According to Google maps there are plenty of charge stations along the way but it would be good to know which brand to prioritize. I assume DC chargers are...

    I was wondering if anyone in Canada is consistently having problems with electrify Canada. When I plug in it routinely times out and has communication errors despite other cars seemingly having no problems with the same charger. I also have no problems with charge point, flow or BC Hydro...

    I'm hoping someone might know of a fix before I have to bring my 5 day old car in for service. I picked up my car on Sunday. I don't think this is relevant, but since I'm brand new to this, I'll mention it just in case: I charged at an Electrify America station on Wednesday, and when the...

    Properly disconnected the charging cable from car at 83%. Plugged it back into car less than a minute later. Wouldn’t charge and the ring was blinking red on the cable. Did that a few times with no success. Disconnected from car and wall outlet (also a few times). Still blinking red. Won’t...

    So this is my first EV, and while I LOVE my 2, the setting the amp thing frustrates me. Do you need to set the amps in all EV's when level 2 charging? Polestar recommends between 20 & 38 amps for my 2, but that is completely contingent on where I am charging. I recently had an experience where...

    I charged from 90% to 100% in prep for a long journey. I’m on Octopus Go and have the charger scheduled for 0:30 - 4:30 every night, so I just plug in when I need to. The car charged to 100%. Then 45min later started to charge again. Is this pre-conditioning? if so it’s not wanted at 3am and no...

    Hi, I had a Juicebox 40-amp charger installed at home but the technician was unable to get the PS2 to charge using the juicebox. He thinks that for some reason the PS2 is not completing the initializing sequence with the charger. Has anybody run into this issue with juicebox chargers?

    Hi. I’ve had my P2 since last October. In the last week or so I’ve noticed that if I put the charging current on the infotainment screen up to 32A it only charges at 20 or 21A (~4.5kW). Weirdly if I reduce the amps on the screen down to 26A then it will actually reach 26A according to the car...

    Anyone know of any issues with Polestar2 ans charging when using a tethered charger rather than it’s own cables. I’m in Norfolk and have used various chargers without issue, but issue a Tesla supplied charger (correct connection) that has its own cable will not lock and therefore charge. There...
  16. Polestar 2 Problems and Reliability
    I'm seeing some weird behaviour when I'm charging my P*2 at home with my Wallbox 7kW charger. It charges for around 5 to 20 mins, then stops charging for a while, then charges for another short period before taking another break and so on. If I leave it long enough, then - after quite a few...

    I'm passing on a solution that the Polestar rep who responded to my pressing the "Connect" button provided to me today, when (a) my car charging stopped at 90% though I had set it to go to 100% (in view of an impending trip); (b) the charging screen displayed charging was limited to 6 amps...
