DESCRIPTION:
The performance software upgrade increases the two motors’ combined certified output over the
complete RPM range, increasing power from 300 kW (402 bhp) to 350 kW (469 bhp) and torque from
660 to 680 Nm (487 to 502 lb-ft); a boost that also reduces the acceleration time from 0-60 mph to just
4.2 seconds.
The upgrade functions as a ‘power boost’, improving mid-range acceleration and overall
responsiveness. While improved responsiveness and pedal mapping apply at all times, the boost is
most noticeable at speeds between 70 and 130 km/h (45 and 80 MPH) and is fully available between
70-100% State of Charge (SoC). Between 40-70% SoC, the power boost will be slightly lower. This is to
protect battery integrity. Similarly, below 40% SoC, the power boost is not available and the standard
vehicle power and torque outputs apply, also to protect battery integrity.
If a Polestar 2 customer purchased a performance SW via OTA and the SWDL is not successful,
Polestar will contact the customer and advise them to visit a dealer for assistance with the SWDL.
Please follow the instructions under service.

SERVICE:
When a customer purchases performance SW, Polestar will add it to the vehicle’s central SW archives.
If the OTA download fails, the software can be recovered by installing a Total Upgrade.
After the Total Upgrade is performed please verify the Performance SW is installed. See the
attachment “How To Verify Installation” for instructions.
NOTE: If a customer requests assistance with affixing the door decals, a pre-approval by Polestar is
required to claim the job.
