Overview
Should you buy a spare Polestar 2 cable?
The Polestar 2 runs on electricity alone, so the charging lead is the one part you genuinely cannot do without. Break it, lose it, or have it taken off the driveway, and the car stays where it is until a replacement turns up. We ship UK orders over £150 free next working day, and orders placed before 4pm leave the same day, but we still tell customers to keep a backup in the boot.
Which cable for a Polestar 2?
It depends where you charge. For home charging through a wallbox, a 32A Type 2 to Type 2 lead is the sensible pick and takes everything a single-phase supply can give. If you regularly charge in public, go for the 32A three-phase version instead: it charges faster wherever the post supports it, and it still works perfectly well at lower speeds, so you lose nothing by choosing it.
Available in 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m, all built to IEC 62196-2, CE marked and TÜV certified, IP55 rated, specified from -30°C to +60°C, run-over proof and covered by a 24 month manufacturer warranty. See the full range in Type 2 charging cables.

First class service
First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
