Who it suits. Drivers wanting a 310-mile electric SUV range Owners with time for an 11-hour 240V charge Buyers comparing EPA efficiency figures
The 2026 Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor centers on a 310-mile EPA range, making it suited to drivers who plan regular charging rather than frequent quick top-ups. Its 95 combined MPGe rating and $800 annual electricity estimate provide the main operating benchmarks. Rear-wheel drive, a 200 kW motor and an 11-hour 240-volt charge time complete the picture. Consider it when those range and charging conditions match your routine.
What it is
The 2026 Polestar 4 Long Range Single Motor is an electric SUV in the EPA's Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD class. It sends power to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
Its powertrain uses a 200 kW permanent-magnet synchronous motor. Electricity is the only fuel listed for this model.
The numbers
The EPA rates this Polestar 4 for 310 miles of range. That is the distance figure to use when planning trips between charges.
Its combined rating is 95 MPGe, with energy use of 35 kWh per 100 miles. A full charge at 240 volts takes 11 hours.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates yearly electricity cost at $800. That figure gives you a way to budget charging over a year of driving; your actual bill depends on the electricity rates where you charge.

For other body-size matches, see the electric SUV list and compare each model's EPA range, MPGe and energy use.
Who it suits
This Polestar 4 suits drivers who want an electric SUV with a 310-mile EPA range and rear-wheel drive. It also fits buyers who can leave the vehicle connected for an 11-hour 240-volt charge.
Trade-offs
The 310-mile range provides a clear trip-planning limit, while the 11-hour 240-volt charge time requires a long charging window. Its 35 kWh per 100 miles and 95 MPGe describe how efficiently it uses electricity, and its rear-wheel-drive layout defines how power reaches the road.
Verdict
Choose this version when a 310-mile EPA range matters more than quick turnaround at a 240-volt outlet. The $800 yearly electricity estimate gives the running-cost baseline, while rear-wheel drive and the 200 kW motor define its configuration. It is a straightforward fit for an electric-SUV buyer who can plan around an 11-hour charge and wants one model's range and efficiency figures clearly stated.
