Britain got the rebuilt Polestar 3 before anywhere else. In October 2025 Polestar moved the car to an 800 volt architecture, renamed the trims Rear motor, Dual motor and Performance, and launched it in the UK first because of UK demand. That change transformed DC rapid charging, up to 350 kW on the bigger battery. What it did not change is the onboard AC charger, which remains 11 kW three phase, exactly as it was on the 2023 to 2025 cars. So whichever Polestar 3 is on your drive, the cable answer is identical.
All of them charge through a Type 2 to Type 2 Charging Cable, with the flap on the nearside rear quarter where a fuel filler would be. Polestar sells a 6 metre cable as an accessory, which is why some owners find a 5m lead feels short.
Order the 32A single phase cable. An 11 kW rating describes three phases arriving at a building, and British houses get one, which carries 7.4 kW. That is what a Polestar 3 draws on a domestic wallbox and what the 32A single phase lead supplies. The 32A three phase cable is only worth the money where three real phases exist, taking a 102 kWh Dual motor from 15 hours 30 minutes to 10 hours 30 minutes.
The 16A cable is out of its depth here. Twenty seven hours against thirteen and a half, on the smallest battery Polestar fits, and worse on the others.
A 3-pin cable will not fill this battery, and that is not what it is for. Our Type 2 to 3-Pin Charging Cable runs at 2.3 kW from a household socket, about 10 miles an hour, so a night parked somewhere with no chargepoint is worth eighty miles and a long weekend is worth rather more. On a car with this much range that is usually enough to get home. Read what a domestic socket really delivers.
The saloon is covered on the Polestar 2 charging cable page and the closest Volvo relative on the Volvo EX90 charging cable page. Leads are shared across both marques and gathered under Polestar EV charging cables. For the meaning of the sealing figures below, read our guide to IP ratings.
IP55 on the Type 2 to Type 2 leads and IP67 on the Type 2 to 3-Pin. Beyond that: IEC 62196 Type 2 construction, CE certification, a -30C to +50C, or +60C for the 3-pin operating range, a 2 year manufacturer's warranty and free next working day UK delivery.
Maximum onboard AC charging speed: 11 kW, three phase
| Cable Type | Max Charge Rate | Empty to Full | Range Added Per Hour | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 16A (5m / 10m) | 3.7 kW | 27 hours | approx. 16 miles | Too slow for this battery |
| Type 2 - 1-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 7.4 kW | 13 hours 30 mins | approx. 31 miles | Best Fit at home |
| Type 2 - 3-Phase, 32A (5m / 10m) | 11 kW (car limited) | 9 hours | approx. 47 miles | For 22kW posts and workplaces |
| Type 2 to 3-Pin (5m / 10m) | 2.3 kW | 43 hours 15 mins | approx. 10 miles | Ideal backup |

Polestar publishes these as range targets rather than certified figures, and the Performance sits about thirty miles below the Dual motor.

The Long Range Dual Motor and Performance Pack cars of the same era share this battery and take the same times, at 395 and 352 miles respectively. In winter, and at speed, the last column gets smaller.
Choose 32A single phase Type 2 to Type 2 for a Polestar 3 at home. No version exceeds 11 kW three phase, a figure a domestic supply reduces to 7.4 kW, and this lead hands over the whole of that on either generation.
No. Polestar's October 2025 update moved the Polestar 3 to an 800 volt architecture and raised DC rapid charging to as much as 350 kW, but the onboard AC charger stayed at 11 kW three phase. A 2023 car and a 2026 car take the same cable and charge at the same speed on a wallbox.
No. Not one UK Polestar 3 has been built with a 22 kW onboard charger, on either generation and in every trim. Buying a 22 kW rated cable does the car no harm, but it will still only draw 11 kW through it, and 7.4 kW of that at a house.
About 13 hours 30 minutes from empty for the 88 kWh Rear motor on a 32A cable, and 15 hours 30 minutes for the 102 kWh Dual motor. The older 107 kWh cars take around 16 hours 15 minutes. These are large batteries, so overnight top ups rather than full charges are the normal pattern.
The socket is on the nearside rear quarter of a 4.9 metre SUV, so 5m works if you park nose in with the wallbox on the passenger side and towards the back. Back onto the drive, or fix the unit to the opposite wall, and the cable has to reach along most of the car, which is the point at which 10m stops being optional.
Yes. UK untethered AC posts have a bare Type 2 socket at the charger end and expect the driver to bring a lead, so the same cable works at home and away. Rapid DC chargers supply their own attached cable.
