The heat pump in the Polestar 2 is a small masterpiece of engineering, ensuring a comfortable driving experience at any temperature without compromising the range of your electric car. But how exactly does the heat pump work, and what advantages does it offer compared to conventional heating systems? In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about the Polestar 2 heat pump.
How the Polestar 2 Heat Pump Works

The heat pump in the Polestar 2 uses ambient air as a heat source and works on the principle of a refrigerator – only in reverse. Instead of generating cold, it extracts heat from the outside air and directs it into the interior. Even at low temperatures, the heat pump can efficiently utilize energy and thus maximize the range of your Polestar 2.
“The use of ambient heat is a crucial factor for the efficiency of electric cars, especially in winter,” explains Dr. Markus Schmidt, an expert in electromobility. “Conventional heating systems require a lot of energy, which is drawn directly from the battery. The heat pump, on the other hand, uses ambient energy, thus conserving the battery.”
Advantages of the Heat Pump
The heat pump in the Polestar 2 offers you numerous advantages:
Increased Range
By efficiently using ambient heat, the heat pump consumes significantly less energy than conventional heating systems. This means: more miles on a single battery charge, especially in cold temperatures.
Enhanced Comfort
The heat pump ensures a consistent and comfortable temperature in the passenger compartment, without you having to sacrifice comfort.
Environmental Friendliness
The use of ambient heat is not only energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly. The heat pump thus contributes to sustainable mobility.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Polestar 2 Heat Pump
Does the heat pump affect the performance of the vehicle?
No, the heat pump does not affect the performance of the Polestar 2. The energy for driving the vehicle is provided independently of the heat pump.
Does the heat pump also work in sub-zero temperatures?
Yes, the heat pump in the Polestar 2 is designed to work efficiently even at low outside temperatures and reliably heat the interior.
Can I manually control the heat pump?
Yes, you can individually adjust the temperature and intensity of the heat pump via the touchscreen in the Polestar 2.
