Which Charging Cable Should I Get for My Polestar EV?
If you own a Polestar 2 or are planning to get the Polestar 3, one of the first questions you’ll have is — which charging cable do I need for my Polestar EV? Choosing the right charging cable ensures your vehicle charges efficiently, safely, and is compatible with both home and public chargers across the UK.
Like most premium electric vehicles, all Polestar models are fitted with a Type 2 charging port for AC charging and a CCS connector for rapid DC charging. That means you’ll need a Type 2 to Type 2 EV charging cable for everyday use.

What Charging Connector Does a Polestar EV Use?
Polestar follows the European charging standard:
-
Type 2 connector (7-pin): Used for AC charging at home, workplaces, and public charge points.
-
CCS connector (Combined Charging System): Used for DC rapid charging — no separate cable needed, as these chargers are tethered.
Most UK homes use single-phase power, meaning your Polestar will charge at up to 7.4kW on a domestic wall box — ideal for overnight charging. When using a three-phase charger at a workplace or public charging station, you can unlock faster 11kW AC charging.
Which Charging Cable Should I Choose?
Choosing the right cable depends on where and how you typically charge your vehicle.
For Home Charging
A 32A single-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable (7.4kW) is perfect for regular home use. It provides efficient overnight charging and works seamlessly with most domestic wall boxes.
For Public or Workplace Charging
A 32A three-phase Type 2 to Type 2 cable (22kW) is the most versatile option for Polestar drivers. It works seamlessly with all public AC chargers — including faster three-phase units — and is a smart, future-proof choice for workplace and destination charging as higher-powered infrastructure becomes more common across the UK.
Recommended Cable Lengths
-
5m cable – compact and ideal for home garages or short driveways.
-
7m cable – a popular length, offering flexibility for both home and public use.
-
10m or 15m cable – perfect for on-street or commercial charging bays where extra reach is needed.
